Latitude 64 Spike...any thoughts/opinions?

Still on the quest to find the optimal putter. I love the feel of the XD, but it seems to lack in grip. I hear the Spike may be as shallow, and it has those grip pads. Does anyone have experience with the two discs? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

my main putters are grip line spikes. They are a little slick but i think they have a great feel and grip. the grip pads on the grip line arent actually very grippy but do give you good grip in wet weather. if you like a grippier feel the zero line is super grippy.

It's definitely a great disc and is in my bag. If I get mad at my Pure, I go to my Spike.

i have been using XD's since i started and i love them. just got a zero line spike and i really like it. very similar feel in the hand but obviously with more grip. putting line is a little different since it's more stable but you can still turn it over pretty easy on a longer shot.
they feel the same but fly different.

i don't really care for the grip zones. i really like the grip on the rest of the plastic. the zones are a bit much but i imagine they're really good for when it's wet.

definitely worth trying out if you like the XD.

Looks and feels just like an XD but with the great latitude plastic. Try one.

I'm not trying to one-up today's amazing thread resurrection, I promise...

However, in my search for info about the Spike, most of the threads have involved pointless banter, or "Get a Pure." Well, I have a Zero Spike on the way and am curious to know a little more about it. I am in putter crisis mode, which means trying a bunch of new stuff for in the circle to get my mojo back. Anyone using the Spike as their main putter?
