[Latitude] Latitude 64 Saint

[jrawk]

A speed 6 or 7 would fit nicely with my Rivers and OLFs.

then again...what will i do with all these Teebirds!?!

just ship them all to me. I'll keep using the old, outdated plastic and molds

I wonder if it will be larger diameter like the River, Stiker, and Stalker. That's the main thing I didn't like about those discs. But that's also what gives them their glide and differentiates them from all the other drivers out there.

 

[Technohic]

Have they released tech specs yet? Only think I might be interested in is if it somehow manages to fight wind while keeping that River like sneaky long ability. I'm not sure if that is possible but you never know.

From DiscGolfSweden.se:

Opto Saint
Long Range Driver
Flight characteristics: Stable
Produced: 2012 May
PDGA Approval date: 05-20-2012

Diameter: 21.2 cm
Maximum weight: 176.0 gram
Height: 1.9 cm
Rim depth: 1.2 cm
Inside rim diameter: 17.4 cm
Rim thickness: 1.9 cm
Rim depth/ Diameter ratio: 5.7 %
Rim configuration ratio: 29.25
Flexibility rating: 8.85

So it looks like a small diameter speed 9 driver.

^ My enthusiasm just switched to intrigued pessimism.

 

[jtreadwell]

Yeah speed 9 is faster than ideal...

 

[atay87]

Maybe they noticed the success of the PD and want to try to make a similar disc.

If you look at the disc profile on this link, it looks like it will be understable.

If you are referring to this

, its a generic guide they use for all discs to show what the different specs actually measure.

Ah I was. Thanks for pointing that out!

This is exactly what I was thinking.

 

[Todd Wiley]

As long as it is Speed 10 or under... I will definately own it and throw it.

If we are going to relate this disc to teh team, then I don't want it as it would be the disc that when you need it the most, after getting in trouble, it just can't get the deal done.

Can of worms, opened.

Dare I ask who Technohic's team is, for fear of derailing this thread?

 

[LoPan12]

Woooohoooo, right on time. The "Saint", bithcin name.

Val Kilmer dye, here I come

Sounds like OLF overlap.

so I guess i will retain my Teebirds... the one disc that continues to be untouchable.

The disc wouldn't work because it would just go for the head of the nearest defenseless player and then expect money afterwards.

but...it is supposed to be stable and reliable
