The Latitude 64 Compass is a 5-speed stable midrange. With published flight numbers of 5 / 5 / 0 / 1, it is most often described as suited for straight midrange shots that hold any release angle, hyzer-flip approaches that finish with a soft fade.

Overview

The Latitude 64 Compass is a stable, beadless midrange with 5/5/0/1 flight numbers, designed to hold whatever line it's thrown on and finish with a gentle, predictable fade.[1][2] Developed in cooperation with 2x World Champion Ricky Wysocki while he was on Team Latitude 64,[2][3] the Compass quickly became the brand's signature do-everything midrange. Reviewers consistently describe it as a true 'aim and commit' mid — flat releases fly straight, hyzers stay on hyzer, and anhyzer flexes track the angle without flipping over.[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.

The Compass is the disc to reach for when the goal is a midrange that goes where it's pointed — straight fairway lines, hyzer-flip approaches, anhyzer flex shots, and touch upshots inside circle two.[1] Opto is the standard premium plastic, durable and consistent across runs; Gold adds extra grip without losing Opto's stability; Frost is tuned for grip in cold weather; Recycled (sometimes labeled BioGold) is the eco-premium option that seasons in faster; Retro is Latitude 64's grippy baseline blend that breaks in quickly for added workability.[4] The beadless rim suits both backhand and forehand grips.

Best for:

  • Straight midrange shots that hold any release angle
  • Hyzer-flip approaches that finish with a soft fade
  • Anhyzer S-curve midrange lines
  • Touch approaches inside circle two
  • Beginner-friendly all-purpose midrange

Plastics & variants

The Compass is available in the following plastic blends from Latitude 64:[4]

Opto, Gold, Frost, Recycled, Retro

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 Compass was PDGA-approved on December 9, 2015 (the official PDGA announcement framed it as 'mapped out with Wysocki') and reached retail in early 2016.[2][3] It was developed in cooperation with Ricky Wysocki, who was on Team Latitude 64 at the time, and became Latitude 64's flagship neutral midrange.[3] It sits in the same straight-stable slot as the Innova Mako3, Discraft Buzzz, and Dynamic Discs Truth — the latter is its sister-brand counterpart, as Latitude 64, Dynamic Discs, and Westside together form the Trilogy group. Latitude 64 has used the Compass extensively in special PDGA Member discs and tournament editions in the years since.
