The Latitude 64 Dagger is a 2-speed stable putt & approach. With published flight numbers of 2 / 5 / 0 / 1, it is most often described as suited for lofted push putts, short approaches that need to sit down.

Overview

The Dagger is Latitude 64's deep dish beaded putter, rated 2 / 5 / 0 / 1.[1] The PDGA measured it at 2.1cm tall, deeper than most putters, and Latitude 64 says that depth traps air under the disc and keeps it in the air longer, which is where the glide rating of 5 comes from.[1][2] Latitude 64 files it under overstable in its own store filters even though the numbers read straight with a mild finish.[1] Infinite Discs records the rim depth at 1.5cm, 0.3cm shallower than a Gateway Wizard.[3]

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.

The Dagger is built for lofted push putts. Latitude 64 says the deep dish keeps air under the disc, and Infinite Discs describes the mold as designed to float into the chains at lower speeds so you stop leaving yourself long comeback putts.[1][3] That makes it a putting disc first and a soft approach disc second. Latitude 64 currently sells three firmnesses, Zero Pro, Zero Medium and Zero Hard, so you can match the plastic to how firmly you release.[1]

Best for:

  • Lofted push putts
  • Short approaches that need to sit down
  • Straight upshots inside 200 feet
  • Avoiding long comeback putts

Plastics & variants

The Dagger is available in the following plastic blends from Latitude 64:[1]

Zero Pro, Zero Medium, Zero Hard, Zero Soft, Retro, Gold Line, Moonshine, Royal Sense

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

Latitude 64 developed the Dagger with Dave Feldberg, aiming for a deep beaded putter along the lines of the Discraft Challenger and the Gateway Wizard, though not quite as deep as the Wizard.[3] The PDGA approved it on April 13, 2014 under certification 14-36, recording 21.1cm across, 2.1cm tall, a 1.5cm rim depth and a 175.1 gram cap.[2] It has stayed in the catalog since. Latitude 64 currently lists it in three Zero Line firmnesses, all at 173 grams and up,[1] and marked the mold's tenth year with an Opto-Ice Orbit Dagger anniversary run.[4] Infinite Discs has also carried it in Retro, Gold Line, Moonshine and Royal Sense plastics.[3]
