Latitude 64 Gold Orbit Diamond 8 | 6 | -3 | 1
The Latitude 64 Diamond is widely known as the perfect first driver for players who do not throw with a ton of speed. Slotted right into our collection of fairway drivers, this understable disc is only made in lighter weights. This helps newer players get the disc up to speed so it flies straight instead of immediately dumping hard to the left. When you throw it flat, it naturally turns to the right before gently fading back at the very end of its flight.
Flight Numbers
The flight ratings of 8 | 6 | -3 | 1 show you that this disc is built to stay in the air. The high 6 glide means it stays aloft longer, while the -3 turn helps slower arms keep the disc from crashing into the ground early.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | 6 | -3 | 1 |
The Gold Orbit Diamond offers:
- Lightweight Control: Keeps the disc easy to swing fast enough to get a true, straight driver flight.
- Excellent Glide: Adds effortless distance to your throws, even if you don't have pro-level power.
- Soft Finishing Fade: A very mild finish that keeps your shots landing flat instead of skipping away.
It works best for:
- New players, women, and kids who are learning how to throw flat off the tee.
- Hyzer-flip shots where you need the disc to stand up flat and travel down straight fairways.
- Long tailwind drives where heavier discs get pushed out of the air too quickly.
The Gold Orbit Plastic Advantage
Latitude 64’s Orbit plastic is a cool look where a separate color rings the outside edge of the disc. Underneath the looks, this disc uses their premium Gold Line plastic base. It feels smooth, a little bit soft, and very grippy in your hand, even on damp mornings. It is tough enough to take repeated kicks off trees without losing its shape, but because it is slightly softer than translucent plastic, it hits its straight-flying sweet spot much quicker.
How the Gold Orbit Diamond Fits in the Lineup
- Vs the Gold Line Diamond: Standard Gold Line runs are one solid color. They fly almost identically, but the Gold Orbit process gives you a distinct visual look in the air and can feel just a tiny bit firmer on the rim.
- Vs the Opto Diamond: Opto plastic is see-through and much stiffer. The Opto version usually flies slightly more stable out of the box and takes longer to wear in than the Gold Orbit blend.
- Vs the Latitude 64 Jade: The Jade is the next step up in Latitude's beginner line. It is a 9-speed with a little more stability (9 | 6 | -2 | 1) for when your arm speed starts to get faster.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Gold Orbit Diamond
What makes Orbit plastic different?
Orbit is just Latitude 64's name for their two-tone color style. They run a separate, contrasting color around the edge of the disc. It looks great when spinning in the air and gives the rim a solid, comfortable feel without changing how the mold fits your hand.
Is the Gold Orbit Diamond good for beginners?
Yes, it is specifically made for beginners. Because it is lightweight and naturally wants to turn to the right, new players don't have to throw it at maximum speed to prevent it from fading out early. It helps you get clean distance while you work on your form.
Can experienced players throw a Diamond?
Yes, though high-power players have to throw it differently. If you have a fast arm, the Diamond becomes a specialized tool for smooth roller shots, long-carrying tailwind drives, or touch shots where you need the disc to turn right and never fight back.
Can I pick the exact color combination and stamp on your site?
Yes, absolutely. Because every Gold Orbit disc has a unique look, we take individual pictures of every single disc in our inventory. The exact weight, stamp color, and plastic color you pick is the exact disc we ship to you.
