Latitude 64 Disc Golf Gold Burst Ballista Pro Distance Driver 14/4/0/3 - Choose
by
Latitude 64
SKU: DG-L64-GBR-BLP (REF228-3)
Description
The Latitude 64 Gold Burst Ballista Pro distance driver is the Ballista's more stable big brother, molded in Gold Burst plastic. It's built for players who need control in the wind and on forehands, and it's at its best on tight-fairway distance and windy drives. Latitude 64 makes its discs in its own factory in the north of Sweden, designed by PDGA Hall of Famer Tomas Ekström.
Gold Burst Plastic
Gold Line is Latitude 64's premium blend. It starts from the same plastics used in Opto Line, with an added polymer for better grip without losing Opto's excellent durability. Burst mixes two colors in a variation of streaks, bringing each disc to life.
The Mold
The Ballista Pro adds stability for experienced players. With a great combination of speed, stability, and glide, it's the go-to disc for distance shots, including tight fairways.
Stability
The Ballista Pro is overstable. Overstable discs resist turning over and fade hard at the end, which makes them predictable in wind and at high power. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it resists turning over and finishes with a strong, dependable fade to the left. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with that hard fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It's best for intermediate to advanced players with good arm speed.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 14 | Very high speed that needs strong arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 4 | Moderate glide that carries without sailing past the target. |
| Turn | 0 | No high-speed turn, so it holds its line early in flight. |
| Fade | 3 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |
