Just picked up my first Lat 64 disc yesterday, a halo in opto plastic. Here's my initial impression.
As a thrower, silky smooth with glide for days. The angle of the inside of the rim is probably the reason for the smooth feeling and also the main reason I bought it. Allows for a much cleaner release imo. I can see this becoming my go to driver on long holes
Quality of the disc, surprisingly poor. Large chunks of contamination are clearly visible in many areas, including a chunk of something brownish blac measuring 3-4 mm sticking through to the surface in one spot. The gate on the bottom isn't cut anywhere near flush sticking up from 2-3mm. A few pretty ugly flow lines are scattered over the surface of the top as well. I've spent the last 12.5 years working in injection molding and from a purely cosmetic point of view this disc should have never passed.
But sine I don't work in Lat 64's quality dep I could care less what it looks like. It just kinda surprised me being a high end premium disc.
I love how the disc throws and would def buy another

Weird. I have a rose colored Opto halo, and it is flawless. As was my opto striker, but it was light blue. Why'd you buy one with so many imperfections and blemishes?

Two reasons,
1. Of the 6 opto halos the store had this was the only one in the weight I wanted
2. I'm not concerned with the cosmetics, just flight. Not a collector, don't care what stamp/dye my disc has, I just want to throw them
Besides even with the defects its still prettier than all the browned up beat to s#!t discs currently in my bag.
It just surprised me that's all.

They might actually send you a few disc's just to say sorry about that disc getting past QA

Good idea, they obviously know what they're doing when it comes to designing a disc so I'd hate to see simple oversights hurt their business.
I'd be careful putting those kinds of thoughts in customers heads, that's a sketchy slope.
gonna buy my first Latitude 64 disc really soon can't wait to get my River

cool thx!
I recently started throwing my new Opto Fuse and have come to love what it can do for me. It seems like I am driving a putter. Super straight, slow and glides forever. For me it is kind of inbetween a putter an mid. It just doesn't seem as fast as a mid, but it glides/floats much longer than a putter.

Might have to pick up a Fuse and try it, any FH fuse throwers out there? Opinions?

Oh man does it have tons of glide. On throws where I used to throw a comet the fuse just out does it and glides like a ufo to the basket. I love it!
if you're throwing a buzzz ss successfully FH,then you probably can throw a fuse,except the fuse rim isn't as comfy for FH's as the buzzz is,i could whip a buzzz on a forehand a pretty long ways,the fuse..not so much.
