The Latitude 64 Rive is a 13-speed overstable distance driver. With published flight numbers of 13 / 5 / 0 / 3.5, it is most often described as suited for maximum-distance drives that need a hard, dependable finish, forehand bombs on open holes.

Overview

The Latitude 64 Rive is a high-speed, overstable distance driver rated 13/5/0/3.5.[1] Latitude 64 calls it a crusher built to handle the highest speeds and the toughest winds, with the combination of superior speed, good glide and predictable overstable flight keeping the drive on line from start to finish.[1] It was PDGA-approved on November 21, 2020 under certification number 20-88, measuring 21.1 cm across with a 2.3 cm rim and a 175.1 g maximum weight.[2] The 3.5 fade means the Rive holds its angle and finishes hard rather than flexing out.

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 Rive is a power-arm tool: flat maximum-distance drives that need a dependable finish, forehand bombs where torque would flip a straighter 13-speed, and headwind holes where a neutral driver would turn over.[1] The heavy fade also makes it a useful spike-hyzer and long skip-shot driver. Latitude 64 markets the mold explicitly to experienced arms — a player who cannot bring a 13-speed rim up to speed will only ever see the fade, never the flight.[1]

Best for:

  • Maximum-distance drives that need a hard, dependable finish
  • Forehand bombs on open holes
  • Headwind tee shots at high speed
  • Spike hyzers and long skip shots

Plastics & variants

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

Royal Grand, Grand

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 Rive was PDGA-approved on November 21, 2020 under the name "Rive (Royal Prototype)", certification number 20-88.[2] The prototype designation is literal: the Rive was the first disc released in Latitude 64's ROYAL line, the premium tier built around the company's NexEdge and NexFeel processes, which smooth the flashing on the bottom and outer parts of the rim to give a broken-in feel straight out of the box.[5] Latitude 64 sells the mold primarily in Royal Grand and Grand plastics, both pairing a grippy flight plate with a rigid rim and a small amount of flex.[1][5] The independent flight databases at Disc Golf Puttheads and Disc Golf Dojo both list the Rive at 13/5/0/3.5, matching Latitude 64's own published rating.[3][4]
