Latitude 64

Golf disc manufacturer Latitude 64, a few years after it hit the US market, published an open letter detailing its ambitious plans for the future. It ended with something like, “And if we fail, it won’t be for lack of effort.”

It was inspirational, conjuring images of Bjorn Borg — images still inextricably linked in my mind to the Swedish company. It’s an accident, but our dog Ruby is also the name of a Latitude 64 disc.

Quickly, Latitude 64 added more discs, then later teamed with Westside Discs of Finland. Finally both of these Nordic firms joined forces with Dynamic Discs of Emporia, Kansas to form Trilogy.

Notably, these three brands all sport complete lines in multiple plastics and each enjoys its own, and relatively equal, following among Trilogy advocates.

Latitude 64 currently sponsors Ricky Wysocki, the reigning and 2X PDGA World Champion.

Their most popular molds include the Truth, Emac Truth, the Judge, Warden, Felon, Sheriff, Trespass, Verdict and River.

Lat64 has 60 PDGA Approved molds, and most of them are still in production. The Missilen and Raketen share a hexagonally textured top surface which speeds their flight while maybe also reducing glide. They don’t really fly farther, but they do get from Point A to Point B quicker.

Latitude 64 has also recently joined the overmold race with its four two-part discs called the Bryce, Gobi, Sarek and Zion
