The Latitude 64 Gold Orbit Sapphire is the natural step up from the Diamond, a little more speed and glide in the same easy to use family, with a slim profile built for smaller hands. It's the disc I recommend once someone has outgrown their first understable fairway driver.

Flight Numbers: 10 / 6 / -2 / 1.5

Gold Orbit runs Latitude 64's two color swirl finish over their durable Gold Line blend, grippy enough for a clean release without asking for a huge hand. The slim rim profile makes it noticeably easier to get a full power grip on than most 10 speed drivers, especially for younger players or smaller hands.

At moderate power it turns over gently and glides a long way, and it rewards a clean release rather than raw strength. A couple of rounds in, most new backhand throwers find the flight starts clicking, holding a straighter, more predictable line than a full stability driver would at the same skill level. It's a solid do-it-all disc for anyone still building distance, useful off the tee and reliable enough to stay in the bag long after other early discs get replaced.

Just starting out? Pair it with the Gold Orbit Diamond for an easier, slower speed 8 option. Ready for more overstability once your arm catches up? The Innova Champion Teebird is a natural next fairway driver. Browse our stable distance drivers.
