[Latitude] Latitude 64 River

[mojorisin35]

I have two 163 gl rivers, and I have heard of a 159.

 

[nrihan]

Love rivers. Have 3

 

[EL-KABONG]

what is the lightest river you have come across? I cant fidn under 165. is that the cutt-off point so to speak?

155 is the lightest I have seen. And I've only seen 2 under 160

Dear Santa,
I would like a 150 class GL river this year. opcorn:

yer gonna wanna pick up a diamond. 150ish opto diamonds are kick ass little discs. TONS of glide. i love em for down wind shots and shots where i dont have room for a run up or good reachback. my lightweight rivers have been replaced by 150 diamonds. i still have my heavier rivers though, nothing that is currently being made could replace those.

hmm i might just have to try a diamond.. i love my 163 GL River.. all my others are 168ish and they are great but really need some backups in the low 160's but getting hard to find

 

[jrawk]

Diamonds are totally under-rated.

 

[Bultx1215]

I agree. I picked up several TM Diamonds @ 158 and they are great. They don't seem as squirrelly in the wind as Rivers can be either. Might just be me getting used to them...not sure.

 

[Eco81]

what are peoples thought on new GL Rivers? Are they going to be slippy right away?

 

[cjowo]

Bringin' this thread back. Has anybody ever flat-topped a river? My 170 GL is really domey and kinda overstable. I want to make it a hyzer-flip machine, but it's kind of unpredictable when it chooses to flip up.

 

[D Stave]

Are there any major differences in the flight between the opto and GL models? Other than the way they feel in the hand, of course.

Generally Opto is more OS than GL.

Now who can answer my question?! : )

Generally Opto is more OS than GL.

Thank you.

Been a long time since I've seen this thread.. Took a month break from disc golf.. I've played 2 rounds since and have gone to my GL River so much.. Champ Valk, GL River, & M Anode are my 3 most used discs.. I wish the River was a bit more Understable but throw it high enough and it will.

See I have a TM Diamond and can't get that stupid thing to go anywhere I wanted it to, full power or not. It's not even in my bag right now, so if you're in the market for another, shoot me a PM. Maybe we could work something out.

However my River on the other hand is wonderful.

I've thrown a decent amount of rivers in all 3 plastics. I have never seen a "flat" one. I have a flat top king which is one of the flattest discs I have ever seen. Kind of strange. All of the rivers I have owned a have slight dome to them, but I wouldn't call them domey at all.

 

[curveball4]

Now who can answer my question?! : )

I have 4 Rivers, 3 that aren't domey but have a gradual rise, & one that is definitely much flatter. The flat one is less stable, a touch less glide, but seems faster than the slight dome ones

 

[Jkosk]

I have 5 rivers. My blue gold line is by far the flattest. The albatross and bubblegum opto's both have that signiture River dome.

To me the blue gold line flies a touch less stable, which I like a lot. I always carry one of my domier, stable bubblegums and the blue each round.

 

[ManU]

Now who can answer my question?! : )

probably not many

the dome will give a lot more glide which is part of the key to the River

if you really want to be able to flip you are probably better off just getting a lighter model or a TM model

 

[cjowo]

Thanks guys. I'm just going to have to beat it up really good if I want it to fly the way it should, or learn to throw H-Flips better.
