The Latitude 64 Saint is a 9-speed stable fairway driver. With published flight numbers of 9 / 7 / -1 / 2, it is most often described as suited for long, glidey straight fairway drives, hyzer-flip and turnover lines for slower arms.
Overview
The Latitude 64 Saint is a neutral, high-glide fairway and control driver with flight numbers of 9/7/-1/2.[1][3] Its standout trait is a 7-rated glide — among the highest of any fairway driver — which keeps the disc floating and carrying long after slower discs have dropped.[3][4] The flight is straight and forgiving, neither strongly understable nor overstable, finishing with a smooth, controlled fade.[3] Latitude 64 markets it as a control driver beloved by amateurs and pros alike, delivering accurate, glidey drives up to roughly 350 feet.[3] A slightly more stable sibling, the Saint Pro, rounds out the line.[3]
Flight characteristics
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.
Recommended uses
The Saint excels on straight, glidey fairway drives where carry and accuracy matter more than raw overstability, on gentle turnover and hyzer-flip lines, and on touch approaches that need to float to the target.[3][4] Its high glide makes it a strong choice for slower arms wanting extra distance and for shaped anhyzer lines.[3] In a headwind the modest turn can make it flippy; the more stable Saint Pro is the better windy-day option.[3]
Best for:
- Long, glidey straight fairway drives
- Hyzer-flip and turnover lines for slower arms
- Floaty touch approaches that carry to the target
- Maximum distance from a controllable fairway driver
- Shaped anhyzer lines
Community notes — how players actually use this disc
Plastics & variants
The Saint is available in the following plastic blends from Latitude 64:[1]
Opto, Gold Line, Zero, Retro Burst
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 Saint was PDGA-approved on May 20, 2012, alongside the Latitude 64 Mercy.[2] Latitude 64, the Swedish flagship of the Trilogy group (with Dynamic Discs and Westside Discs), positioned the Saint as a high-glide control driver that rewards smooth technique over raw power.[1][3] It quickly became one of the brand's most praised fairway drivers among both amateur and professional players.[3] Latitude 64 later released the Saint Pro, a slightly more stable companion mold for players who want the same feel with more wind resistance, and produced a featherweight Zero Gravity Saint (120–130 g) for maximum float and turnover.[1][3]
