The Latitude 64 Bolt is a 13-speed understable distance driver. With published flight numbers of 13 / 6 / -2 / 3, it is most often described as suited for long s-curve distance drives, tailwind distance shots.

Overview

The Latitude 64 Bolt is a speed-13 distance driver rated 6 glide, -2 turn and 3 fade — the understable end of the brand's distance lineup.[2] Latitude 64 calls it “one of our more understable distance drivers,” designed so that players without elite arm speed can still get a high-speed mold to stay up and glide rather than dumping into an early fade.[2] The PDGA record gives it a 2.4 cm rim, a 1.7 cm height and a 175.1 g weight limit.[1]

Flight numbers describe the published behavior of the disc when thrown at its design speed. Real-world flight varies with plastic, weight, age, and thrower power. The community-averaged numbers above reflect crowd-sourced observations from real throws — typically slightly more understable than the manufacturer's published values, which is the most consistent pattern across nearly every commercial mold.

Thrown flat with real power the Bolt produces a long S-curve: it turns over, rides the glide, then finishes with a fade of 3 that keeps it from burning to the ground.[2][3] That profile makes it a natural tailwind driver and a strong big-anhyzer and flex-line option. Latitude 64 markets it as a high-speed disc for arms that cannot yet handle an overstable 13-speed.[3] Players at the lower end of the power range should look at the 120–130 g Zero Gravity run rather than a max-weight Opto.[4]

Best for:

  • Long S-curve distance drives
  • Tailwind distance shots
  • Big anhyzer and flex lines
  • Maximum distance for moderate arm speeds

Plastics & variants

The Bolt is available in the following plastic blends from Latitude 64:[2]

Opto, Gold Line, Zero Gravity, Opto Air, Opto Moonshine

Plastic blend significantly affects flight character. Premium plastics like Champion, Z, or C-Line generally fly more overstable when fresh and hold their stability over time. Base plastics like DX, Pro, or Active beat in faster and become more understable workhorses with use.

History

The PDGA approved the Bolt on May 17, 2011 under certification number 11-20, measuring 21.1 cm in diameter with a 1.7 cm height, 1.1 cm rim depth and a 2.4 cm rim.[1] Only one Bolt certification exists — there is no retool record — and no designer is credited on any Latitude 64 page, PDGA record or retailer listing. No source documents a retail release date distinct from the approval, so 2011 should be read as the approval year. The mold remains in active production: Opto and Gold Line Bolts are in stock on Latitude 64's own store, and the Bolt is absent from the brand's 2025 mold retirement announcement.[3][5] One labelling conflict is worth noting — Latitude 64 and Disc Golf Puttheads both classify the Bolt as understable, while Marshall Street prints the same 13/6/-2/3 numbers under a “Stable” label.[2][4] No documented touring pro bags a Bolt.
