Fairway Driver: Discmania Jackal vs Latitude 64 River

[bigeman101]

Which fairway driver would be best? I know i want one with alot of glide and so its a battle between these two. I want a fairway driver that wont flip over if some power is put into it. Im thinking the Jackal but the river does have more glide. Are rivers very flippy?

Thanks Gang

I would say buy both and play a round. That's the only way to know for sure. Both are good discs.

If I were to go by what I've heard on here, the C-Line Jackal would be what you're looking for. I think it takes power the best out of the four options.

I actually bag both the Jackal and the River.

I use my FD for long straight S curving RHBH shots that you have to put A LOT more power into it than the River. The FD is also my go to RHFH fairway disc, and my go to Tomahawk/Thumber disc.

My FD is C-Line, and I have a Gold Line, Opto, and Test Material 2 Rivers to compare it to

both are in my bag. I love them both (except the C line Jackal, which is nothing like the S line)
the Jackal is a slow turner very versatile. The River turns hard and holds the line.

I use ultra-light Gl rivers and light S line Jackals.

IMO, both have their uses. I find the FD to be more versatile, though. I carry both the S and C line FD's. The FD takes more wind that I ever though possible and doesn't get close to squirrely like the River will into the wind. A beat River will go farther and shape some nice lines. My semi beat in S-FD will come very close to that with just a tick less distance. Pair it up with the C-FD and you have a more stable version of the S-FD. The two pair up very nicely. That said, I still usually have at least one River in the bag.

2 C-FDs (1 flat, 1 domey), S-FD and 2 Rivers in my bag, they play very well together and are the core of my bag. CFD are very turn resistant without a lot of fade, not quite as fast/long as a Teebird. I've had great results throwing the CFD in wind. The SFD is a lot like a TL with more glide. The river will not fit your 'wont turn over' stipulation, but it's a great straight/understable disc, depending on which plastic you get.

I vote for the CFD, but if you're only getting one fairway driver, an Eagle or Teebird might be more versatile/better distance.

I pair an S-FD and a C-FD for my understable and stable slots. I used to throw the River, but it is much touchier and less forgiving than the FD to things like nose angle or OAT issues. The FD has just as much glide and can shape a ton of lines, and it is sneaky long. For a while, it was my only driver, and it worked like a champ. Grab one and love it. (Or sell it to me if you don't love it!)

the river in opto plastic might fit the bill. The gold line gets very flippy after some tree hits
