The Latitude 64 Claymore is a 5-speed stable midrange. With published flight numbers of 5 / 5 / -1 / 1, it is most often described as suited for neutral midrange drives shaped left, right, or straight, hyzer-flip lines through wooded fairways.

Overview

The Latitude 64 Claymore is a neutral-to-slightly-understable midrange rated 5/5/-1/1.[1][4] Latitude 64 describes it as having a small dome and comfortable grip combined with a neutral flight that suits most players: "Straight, left or right, doesn't matter. This disc can do it all."[1] The lower-profile rim (1.9 cm height against a 21.7 cm diameter) gives it a faster, sleeker feel than deeper-dished mids, and the -1 turn makes it workable at moderate arm speeds.[1][2]

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 Claymore is a shot-shaper's midrange: throw it flat for a straight flight with a small left finish, put it on hyzer to flip up through tunnels, or lean on the -1 turn for controlled turnovers.[1][4] Its balanced numbers make it an easy recommendation as an all-purpose midrange for newer players, while the grippy Project Grip and durable Opto and Gold blends keep it consistent as it wears.[1] In strong headwinds a more overstable mid is the better call.[4]

Best for:

  • Neutral midrange drives shaped left, right, or straight
  • Hyzer-flip lines through wooded fairways
  • Slight turnovers that finish with only a whisper of fade
  • A do-it-all first premium midrange

Plastics & variants

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

Opto, Gold, Project Grip

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 Claymore was PDGA-approved on April 13, 2014, certification number 14-35.[2] Latitude 64 introduced it alongside the Dagger putter — the PDGA announced the pair together under the headline "Double Your Edge with Claymore & Dagger," both molds named for blades in keeping with the Swedish brand's occasional weapon-themed naming.[3] It has since been produced in Opto, Gold, and the two-polymer Project Grip line.[1] PDGA-certified specs list a 21.7 cm diameter, 1.9 cm height, and 180.1 g maximum weight.[2]
