Lat 64 Pure (https://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13354)

Got a friend who plays with a small Grip bag, and about half of them are Pures in varying degrees of use. They sure work well for him.

I have a couple I mix in once in a while and they are sweet. Am so invested in Swans and Crowns I'm not willing to switch ... yet.

Have any pure throwers compared an opto's flight to a beat in origio harp flight? I have a super straight origio harp and am hoping an opto pure would fly very similar but give me about 30 to 40 more feet.

Then I started throwing Optos off the tee and it totally changed my game. It's my most thrown disc by a mile and it isn't even close. If I can reach it with a Pure, I'm throwing the pure. If it's a tight tunnel or gap I absolutely need to hit off the tee, I'm throwing a pure.

I bag 2 for putting plus2 optos and an opto-x for throwing. The only discernible difference between the opto-x and opto, in my opinion, is a tick more hss. It's just a little more resistant to tracking to the right. But normal Optos can fly like this with just a slight hyzer. Otherwise it flies identical. It just lays down flat with little to no fade if thrown flat.

I only throw flat pures, btw. Goldline and recycled are often domey and definitely flew more overstable by comparison, in my experience.

Was looking for this exact info about the Pure. Found a beat up zero medium and the mold is comfy gonna grab a stock opto for throwing. Looking for the firmest plastic for putting, any major difference between the Eco and Zero Hard?

I have never putted with Eco's but that is because I picked them up in a store and didn't like it immediately after feeling the plastic. It really lacks grip compared to the zero line plastics but it's fairly firm. Close to zero hard but maybe not quite as firm.

Gold X flies very similar to how Hendryxdisc describes his Opto pures. After throwing my gold X pure a lot, it has a little right hand drift out of it, but nothing crazy.

That’s good for ya, but I like my putters so firm they are clacking together in the bag haha. KC pro/Gateway Soft type flex, zero hard is probably my best bet. Although I’m skeptical the only experience I have had with zero hard plastic was a few daggers and a sinus and they were not what I’d call stiff.

Been a few years since i threw a Pure . . but took the KT PURE out today and holy crap this thing goes far!! i can trow the Pure (and my Fierce) just as far as my mids. . .and i dont really get my fairways and Drivers That much further.

Took a few throwing putter out today and put in the Pure just for fun. . .but the Pure won on both distance and accuracy. . and that made me kind of mad. . i have LOTS of the other putter but only ONE Pure. . .

Using a "summer bag" with only a few discs. . and i play just as good with that as my heavy big bag . .a few putters and two fairways when i need some skip

The Pure in premium blends is an interesting disc. It is a disc which when you throw it pure it certainly does fly pure and enjoyably straight.

But the thing I noticed for me on a slightly errant OATY throw it's not very forgiving. It's kind of like the Nova in that way that your technique must be pretty good to throw it pure. I've had marginally shanky throws turn out worse then some other throwing putters.

I have a slightly domey Fierce that I am liking a lot for straight shots currently. I'm actually on the Fierce and Luna train at the moment. Though I do have a a bunch of Pures still.

Time to test the KT Pure. . time for a putter only round, going to throw all of them for every shot and see who wins over 18 holes.
