Latitude 64 Opto HEX Raketen 15 | 4 | -2 | 3
Launch your distance game into the stratosphere! The Latitude 64 Opto HEX Raketen (Swedish for "Rocket") is an ultra-fast, maximum-velocity distance driver famous for its unique aerodynamics and revolutionary golf-ball-like textured surface. Originally designed to push the absolute limits of raw speed, this iconic mold is returning in a highly anticipated, limited Special Edition drop. Engineered to minimize drag and maximize carry, the Raketen is the ultimate cheat code for massive, open-field bombs. Secure this rare piece of disc golf engineering for your Latitude 64 lineup before this limited release blasts off for good!
Flight Numbers & Effortless Distance
The Raketen is designed to deliver effortless, high-speed distance lines for players looking to maximize their open-field drives. With staggering flight ratings of 15 | 4 | -2 | 3, it requires less raw power than you might expect for a 15-speed driver.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |

How the Raketen fits your game:
- Accessible S-Curves: Unlike its hyper-overstable counterpart (the Missilen), the Raketen leans on a neutral-to-understable flight path that mimics the stability of a Latitude 64 Bolt or an original Ballista. This allows players with average arm speeds to unlock full s-curve shapes and major distance without needing professional-level torque.
- Maximum Velocity: The combination of a wide rim and aerodynamic dimples allows the disc to cut through the air faster than traditional smooth-top drivers.
- Dependable Finish: Despite the high-speed turn (-2), it maintains a reliable fade (3) at the end of its flight, ensuring it won't just turn over and burn out when given enough height.
The Opto HEX Technology Advantage
The standout feature of this disc lies directly in its specialized plastic molding. Latitude 64's Opto HEX technology applies small, geometric hexagon indentations directly into the top and underside of the disc's wing. Similar to the dimples on a golf ball, these hex patterns break up air resistance and drastically reduce aerodynamic drag, allowing the disc to maintain its top speed deeper into its flight. To ensure a clean release, the inner rim and specific thumb patches are left completely smooth, preserving a comfortable, traditional premium grip where it matters most.
Explore Other Latitude 64 Distance Drivers
Looking to round out your high-speed driver selection? Pair the Raketen with these other Latitude 64 staples:
- Latitude 64 Opto Gladiator: Step up the stability! The Gladiator is a 13-speed, heavily overstable bomber perfect for fighting severe headwinds and handling professional-level torque.
- Latitude 64 Royal Clear Grace: A slightly slower, 11-speed control bomber offering incredible glide, unparalleled premium feel, and a more workable, neutral flight path.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the textured hex pattern do?
The Opto HEX pattern acts exactly like the dimples on a golf ball. By creating a turbulent boundary layer of air around the wing of the disc, it reduces overall aerodynamic drag. This allows the Raketen to cut through the air faster and maintain its blistering 15-speed velocity longer than a smooth disc.
Is the Raketen too fast for average players?
While a 15-speed rim is very wide and typically demands elite arm speed, the Raketen's understable turn (-2) and drag-reducing dimples make it surprisingly accessible. Intermediate players with average arm speeds can often use the Raketen to unlock their longest drives by executing wide, sweeping s-curve flights.
Does the texture affect my grip?
Not at all! Latitude 64 smartly designed the Raketen so that the textured hex grid is focused on the outer wings. The areas where your thumb naturally rests on top, as well as the inner rim where your fingers tuck, remain perfectly smooth to guarantee a clean, consistent release.
