Latitude 64 Pure Review: Arguably the Straightest Putter in Disc Golf

The Latitude 64 Pure (3/3/-1/1) was co-designed with two-time World Champion Kristin Latt and built around one goal: a putter that flies dead straight with almost no fade, on both short putts and long approach shots. Latitude 64 calls it "arguably the straightest flying disc" in their lineup, and the beadless, medium-deep rim backs that claim up - it holds a straight line without the late-flight hook most putters show, then settles softly instead of skipping forward.

This review covers how the Pure actually flies, who it fits best, how the wide range of Latitude 64 plastic blends change its feel and stability, and how it stacks up against other neutral putters worth considering.

Who Should Throw the Latitude 64 Pure?

The Pure's low-fade, beadless profile makes it approachable at any arm speed, but it rewards different players in different ways.

• Beginners: The Pure is an easy first putter. Its slight understability at lower arm speeds keeps the disc turning gently rather than fading hard left, and lightweight Zero Gravity versions (120-130g) even float, which helps new players who lose discs in water hazards.
• Intermediate players: This is where the Pure shines. At a comfortable putting arm speed it flies essentially dead straight from the basket in to 30+ feet, which builds confidence on the putts that matter most.
• Advanced players: Tour-level throwers use the Pure mainly for approach shots and shorter upshots where a flat, predictable glide matters more than fade. For hard headwind putts, most advanced players reach for something more overstable instead, like the Discraft Luna.

How the Latitude 64 Pure Flies

The 3/3/-1/1 numbers describe a putter with just enough speed and glide to carry a line, a mild -1 Turn, and a minimal 1 Fade. In practice that means the Pure launches flat and holds flat - it doesn't hook left at the end of flight the way a stronger-fade putter like the Dynamic Discs Judge (2/4/0/1) does. On a spike-hyzer putt, the Pure tends to land and stay rather than skip forward, which is exactly the behavior most players want inside the circle.

On longer approach shots, the -1 Turn gives the Pure a very slight rightward drift during the flat part of the flight before it settles, which effectively extends its usable range compared to putters with zero turn. It is not an understable disc in the way a distance driver would be; it simply resists the late fade that most putter molds build in intentionally.

In the wind, the Pure's low fade is a double-edged sword: it stays predictable in calm conditions and light crosswinds, but into a strong headwind it can turn over and drift right more than a fade-heavy putter would.

Latitude 64 Pure Plastics Compared

Latitude 64 makes the Pure in more plastic blends than almost any other disc on the market. The most relevant ones for most players:

• Zero Medium: The standard choice and a good default. Soft-ish, grippy, and flies true to the stock numbers. Around $15-16.
• Zero Hard: Firmer version of Zero plastic. Slightly more overstable feeling in hand and more durable over time. A good pick for players who putt aggressively.
• Zero Soft: The softest and grippiest option. Excellent feel for putting but wears in (and turns over) faster with heavy use.
• Opto: Latitude 64's premium translucent plastic, comparable to Champion or Lucid. Stiffer, more durable, holds its flight numbers longer than base plastics. Around $18-20.
• Zero Gravity: Ultra-lightweight (120-130g), floats in water, and flies noticeably more understable than full-weight versions. A smart pick for beginners or anyone throwing near water hazards.
• Eco Zero: Biobased plastic made from majority renewable raw materials. Firm feel similar to Zero Hard, flies to the same stock numbers, with a smaller environmental footprint.

Recommendation: start with Zero Medium at 170-176g. It is the most representative of the disc's stock flight and the easiest to find. Move to Opto once you want a Pure that holds its out-of-the-box flight for longer.

Similar Discs to Consider

If the Pure isn't quite the right fit, these putters are the closest points of comparison:

• Innova Aviar - The classic neutral putter (2/3/0/1). Slightly slower and with a touch more fade than the Pure; the standard-bearer most players compare every other putter against.
• Dynamic Discs Judge - Another neutral, all-levels putter (2/4/0/1) with more glide and a more noticeable finishing fade than the Pure.
• Discraft Luna - The opposite end of the spectrum (3/3/0/3): same speed and glide as the Pure, but built overstable for wind putting and tight approach control.
