The Japan Open requires sub-160g weights, which I'd guess is one reason for a 150-class River. But I agree that it's a 'fuggetaboutit' disc...

Can anyone tell me how stable the air opto diamonds are, when compared to the regular opto diamonds?
My wife carries 3 different optos, and they all fly a little different.
Lately her least stable one doesn't always hold a turn.
She has been having hand/wrist problems lately, and can't throw very hard.
So I was just trying to find her something super duper flippy until she is back to throwing normal

I still throw Diamonds for warm-ups, or for form fine-tuning at a field. IME, the difference in stability between a mid-high 150's Diamond and the sub 150's is significant. So, can only assume that the Air versions would be even more so. Then there's also dome and PLH to consider.

Why would they make an air diamond? I guess maybe for juniors? Love diamonds but love love jades.��

I think the reg Diamonds are plenty light for that. Have no idea why they felt the need to offer 'Air' Diamonds.

You might also try a breakout.

I have noticed that the PLH on diamonds will vary some, and is often a very good indicator of how it will fly.
I have just never looked at the air opto diamonds before.

So has anybody got their mitts on a +170 Carat Diamond yet? I'd be interested in trying one just to see....

Monkey, I've got one. Flies exactly like a Latitude 64 Maul for reference. Slightly more stable than an Underworld. Pretty close to a Discraft Heat for another comparison.
Picked up my first forehand ace with it. Good disc.

I could almost swear they are the same mold. Same goes for the pearl and the patrol. I think the patrol was just a max weight pearl.
Any comparable to a star sidewinder?

Looks like Lat64 starting to make "halo discs"
Anybody managed to get their hands on these? They are my wife's go-to driver and is like to get her one for Crimbo

I remember getting an emAil from Dynamic that these would be available through their store sometime this month. Sorry, can't find the exact date.

These are currently available on the Lat64 site, but no free shipping.
Yeah. I was going to snag one for my wife for Christmas but the cost of the disc with shipping would be roughly $45 and I don't think it's worth all of that.
