[Latitude] Latitude 64 Maul

[BirdieMachine]

Latitude 64 says this about the Maul: The Maul is a fairway driver made for turnover shots. It resembles our popular driver, the River, in both speed and glide, but is more understable. This disc is a great choice for beginners, amateurs, and for people who don't throw extremely far since it's easy to control and grip and won't fade as much as high speed drivers do.

So who has thrown this? A River with more turn and less fade?

Definitely looking forward to this one. Love me some flippy plastic!

I saw a good buddy throwing his last weekend. It looked really nice. Suuuper glidey. I would agree with slightly less stable than the River.

When Trilogy calls something understable in their own description...then wow is it going to be flippy.

(I bag many Trilogy discs, just saying their numbers are usually off of Innova)

This might be a fun disc. I love me some Rivers, and anything similar will get an audition for sure. Maybe in a little heavier weights than my normal Rivers.... hmmmm

 

[Glades Rat]

This doesnt sound very different from the Underworld

 

[DougCrawford]

River is already flippy enough for me- when are we gonna get an actual over stable speed 7 control driver from trilogy? Thief is closest, but still turns a little....

Saint Pro is the closest. Really could be considered speed 7 on the Innova scale.

More stable than the Underworld

Haven't thrown mine yet, but first impression is that it is noticably domey. Moreso than the River I have on hand.

I attached a couple profile pics comparing a GL River (left) and an Opto Maul (right).

Yea but it definitely has a larger rim than the innova speed 7 discs. I love the saint pro, it's one of my favorite discs, I pretty much want that with a smaller rim.

 

[Monkeypaws]

Gonna have to try one of these out. Sounds like it might just be a perfectly straight flyer for my power.

 

[threevok]

Sounds like the Seer to me. I'm with DougCrawford; I'd like a slower Saint Pro.

Me loves some understable plastic with that magic Swedish glide. Currently bagging FDs and Rivers but often can't decide which to throw. Maybe I can ditch the Rivers and and bag FDs and Mauls for my glidey fairways and have less overlap. Hmmmm.....

 

[46YearOldSlinger]

So how are these flying? What would you compare them to?

 

[nash2000]

I was surprised to see that my local course had some this morning, so I picked one up. When I first thru it, I thru it on a hyzer...thinking it would turn and flip over...sort of like a witness or underworld, but the Maul didn't. I than gave it a full throw with flat release and it was one of the straightest throws Ive had in a long time. So far I really like it, can't wait to throw it some more.

XXX.

 

[Monkeypaws]

Nobody does low speed control drivers like Lat 64!

 

[onemilemore]

Couldn't resist the urge to order one of these. I'll be doing an extensive review, and I'll make sure to compare it to the Seer, since their numbers are virtually the same. I'll see if I can track down a River to throw in the mix, as well.

I see a Seer/Maul battle in my future.
