The Latitude 64 Fury is a 9-speed understable fairway driver. With published flight numbers of 9 / 6 / -2 / 2, it is most often described as suited for hyzer-flip drives that finish straight, long panning turnover shots.

Overview

The Latitude 64 Fury is a 9/6/-2/2 understable driver built around glide. Latitude 64 calls that glide "its standout feature," saying the disc holds altitude and speed even on soft, delicate shots and is "one of the most efficient drivers in the 9-speed category."[2] The -2 turn lets it flip up to flat easily and hold a long straight line, while the 2 fade keeps long turnovers from dumping over.[3] At 21.2 cm across with a shallow 1.1 cm rim depth and a 1.9 cm rim,[1] it grips comfortably for players stepping up from midranges.

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.

Latitude 64 positions the Fury as a primary distance driver for intermediate players and a specialist tool for advanced ones — technical wooded shots, long rollers, tailwind drives and soft turnovers.[2] The lightweight Opto Air version is aimed at targets between 80 m / 260 ft and 105 m / 345 ft and at flipping up to flat through tight gaps.[3] It is not a headwind disc: Latitude 64 warns that the lighter runs in particular get pushed off line by stiff headwinds.[3]

Best for:

  • Hyzer-flip drives that finish straight
  • Long panning turnover shots
  • Technical tunnel shots through tight gaps
  • Long rollers
  • Tailwind drives for moderate arm speeds

Plastics & variants

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

Opto, Opto Air

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 Fury on 19 April 2013 under certification number 13-30, recording a 21.2 cm diameter, 1.8 cm height, 1.1 cm rim depth, a 1.9 cm rim and a 176.0 g maximum weight.[1] Latitude 64's own Opto and Opto Air product pages reproduce that certification block verbatim, cert number and approval date included — a welcome contrast to the incorrect PDGA block the company publishes on its Culverin page.[2][3] The mold is still in production more than a decade later: the store stocks Opto in the 173 g-and-up bracket and Opto Air at 155–159 g.[2][3] Latitude 64's own category labelling is inconsistent — the Opto Fury page is titled a "High-Glide Fairway Driver" while the Opto Air page's lead heading calls it "The Ultimate Control Driver"; Discpedia files it as a fairway driver in line with its speed 9 rating.[2][3] Retailers additionally catalogue a Gold Line Fury that Latitude 64's current store does not stock.[4] No designer is credited and no touring professional is documented bagging one.
