The Latitude 64 Pure is a 3-speed stable putt & approach. With published flight numbers of 3 / 3 / -1 / 1, it is most often described as suited for straight putts at all ranges, controllable stall and elevator putts that drop on line.

Overview

The Latitude 64 Pure is a straight, beadless putt-and-approach disc with a 3/3/-1/1 flight pattern.[1][2] It is a flat-top putter with a medium-deep, slightly concave rim that holds the line it is given and lands with only a gentle fade.[2] Reviewers praise its consistency across every putting style — from lofty spin putts to turbo putts — and note how well it handles wind for a glidey putter.[2] With a slight hyzer it flips to flat and tracks straight, making it forgiving for newer players, while its glide also lets it double as a capable driving putter on longer approaches.[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 Pure is at home on straight putts and approaches at all ranges, controllable stall/elevator putts that drop on line, and gentle anhyzer upshots that hold then fade softly.[2] Its glide lets it double as a driving putter — testers have driven an Opto Pure nearly 280 ft on a slight anhyzer.[2] Beadless and shallow, it suits players who prefer a flat-top feel.[2] Opto holds a firmer, more durable flight, while the Zero Soft/Medium/Hard lineup lets players dial in grip and feel.[1][2]

Best for:

  • Straight putts at all ranges
  • Controllable stall and elevator putts that drop on line
  • Gentle anhyzer approaches that hold then fade softly
  • Long driving-putter approaches with extra glide
  • A forgiving, beadless flat-top for newer players

Plastics & variants

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

Zero Soft, Zero Medium, Zero Hard, Opto

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 Pure was PDGA-approved on April 13, 2009, and became one of Latitude 64's signature putters — the second disc co-designed by Jesper Lundmark for the Swedish manufacturer.[3][2] It earned a devoted following among putter aficionados, with reviewers comparing it favorably to long-standing benchmarks like the Gateway Wizard.[2] Latitude 64 offers it in the grippy, beginner-friendly Zero line (Soft, Medium, and Hard) as well as the premium, durable Opto blend.[1][2] It remains a popular choice for players who want a straight, glidey putter that performs equally well off the tee, on approaches, and on the green.[2]
