Not this one. The Latitude 64 Opto Sapphire is the first true distance driver in their Easy-to-Use lineup, designed specifically for players who want extra speed without needing an elite arm to keep the disc flat. If you have been leaning heavily on a Diamond but find it turning over into a roller when you give it more power, the Sapphire is the perfect next step up. It features a slim, low-profile rim that makes it incredibly easy to grip, especially if you have smaller hands. You can check out the rest of the family in the complete \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/latitude-64-sapphire\" title=\"Latitude 64 Sapphire Collection\"\u003eLatitude 64 Sapphire Collection\u003c\/a\u003e.

At a 10 speed, it gives you true driver distance without requiring massive velocity to get it up to speed. The massive 6 glide keeps the disc floating down the fairway for extra carry, while the -2 turn allows it to flip up to flat or track smoothly before finishing with a dependable 1.5 fade that checks up cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n      \u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSpeed\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eGlide\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eTurn\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003eFade\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e10\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e-2\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px;\"\u003e1.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Opto Sapphire delivers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlim Profile Rim Feel:\u003c\/strong\u003e A shallower rim depth that prevents early releases and feels completely natural for smaller hands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy S-Curve Distance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flips up easily from a slight hyzer release, drifting cleanly before hooking up at the end for maximum fairway carry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Typically molded in lighter weight classes so you can generate more disc speed with less physical effort.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt excels at:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdding easy distance for players transitioning into their very first high-speed drivers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSoaring tailwind drives where heavier, beefier drivers instantly stall out and drop early.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmooth, panning backhand turnover lines that need to carry deep down the fairway without burning over.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOpto Line Plastic Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpto is one of the most durable premium plastics on the market, instantly recognizable by its beautiful, translucent candy colors. Latitude 64 developed this blend to withstand absolute punishment out on the course. Smashing it directly into a tree off the tee box won't leave major gashes or warp the rim geometry. It holds its out-of-the-box flight characteristics through months of heavy course use, meaning your Sapphire will keep its sweet spot of easy turn and massive glide for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the Sapphire Compares\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVs the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/latitude-64-gold-sapphire\" title=\"Latitude 64 Gold Sapphire Product Page\"\u003eLatitude 64 Gold Sapphire\u003c\/a\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gold Line version uses a premium opaque plastic that is slightly gummier and offers a stickier grip out of the box, whereas the Opto run is stiffer and more transparent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVs the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/latitude-64-gold-orbit-sapphire\" title=\"Latitude 64 Gold Orbit Sapphire Product Page\"\u003eLatitude 64 Gold Orbit Sapphire\u003c\/a\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gold Orbit run features a clean two-tone visual rim ring and tends to cool just a hair more stable out of the box compared to standard stock Opto.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVs the Latitude 64 Diamond:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Diamond is a 7-speed fairway driver built for true beginners.

This weight redistribution makes it much easier for beginners, juniors, and intermediate players to hit the disc's ideal velocity and get it to fly straight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan players with fast arm speeds throw this disc?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely, but it shifts roles. If you have high power, a flat throw will likely flip over completely. However, big arms find the Sapphire incredible for massive tailwind bombs, long sky rollers, or touch finesse shots in the woods where you can't swing a full throw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Opto Sapphire handle headwinds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it is designed with a responsive -2 turn, the Sapphire is not built to fight into a stiff breeze. A headwind will make the disc act much more understable, causing it to turn over hard. Keep this one reserved for calm fairways, tailwinds, or controlled woods lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLooking for a different variation?
