If your midranges either dump early or drift into the trees, this Latitude 64 Claymore review is for you. You want clean lines, easy glide, and the confidence to aim at a six‑foot gap without blinking. The Claymore gives you that steady hand, with smooth grip, straight midrange flight, and enough turn to shape shots without drama.
Latitude 64 Claymore Review Quick Take
Speed 5, glide 5, turn -1, fade 1. Think laser pointer with manners. Thrown flat, it holds the line. Add hyzer and it pushes before a gentle finish. Add a touch of anhyzer and it drifts right, then pans out instead of burning. In this Claymore midrange disc review, I found the disc forgiving for newer arms and precise for experienced players who live on angle control.
Flight Numbers And Feel
The Claymore has a slightly shallow rim and a comfortable shoulder. The Latitude 64 Claymore grip suits small to medium hands, and power throwers will like the clean release too. It excels as an understable midrange disc for shaping shots on wooded courses. Claymore flight path control is the headline feature, which is why it sees so much play on tight fairways.
Kristin Tattar edition Claymore review
The Kristin Tattar edition uses a shallower feel that sits snug without forcing a power grip. That shallow profile grip encourages a smooth hit and a tidy pull through. It rewards clean mechanics and, if you miss your angle by a degree or two, it does not punish as harshly as many mids.
Control On Tight Lines
Looking for a disc for tunnel shots? This is it. The Claymore loves low‑ceiling fairways and wooded corridors. Throw it on slight hyzer, let it ride the middle, and it keeps tracking. If you need to hold dead straight for 90 metres, aim flat and trust the glide. It is also a quiet hero for touch forehands when you need a straight finish without a dumpy fade.
Hyzer Flip And Anhyzer Control
Want a disc for hyzer flip shots that does not surprise you? The Claymore behaves. A controlled hyzer releases into a Claymore hyzer flip, stands up, then carries forward. On anhyzer, it turns with tempo and resists the hard roll. That makes Claymore for shaping shots a genuine strength for players who like moving the disc on purpose, not by accident.
Latitude 64 Claymore vs Buzzz
The Buzzz is the benchmark straight mid, a touch firmer on finish and a bit more torque‑friendly. The Claymore gives you more glide and easier stand‑ups at lower power. If you love a straighter finish with less fade on soft throws, the Claymore wins. If you hammer mids forehand a lot, the Buzzz might take the edge. In calm woods golf, the Claymore often saves strokes by holding straight lines with less effort.
Latitude 64 Claymore vs Pure
Picture a Pure that grew up and added speed. The Claymore is like a longer Pure, still point and shoot, yet less nose‑angle sensitive. Compared with the River, think straighter, slower, with fewer surprises in a headwind. If your bag already has a Pure for approaches, the Claymore slots above it for midrange distance while keeping that familiar feel.
Who Should Bag It
If you want a fuss‑free mid that teaches touch, start here. It might be the best midrange disc for beginners who need feedback without frustration. Intermediates will like the shot variety, and advanced players will lean on it when a straight hit beats a skip finish. Situations where it shines include:
- Disc for tunnel shots on wooded holes
- Disc for hyzer flip shots from a standstill
- Straight approaches that must sit softly
- Turnovers that hold without diving
Release Angles And Distance Windows
Backhand, it tolerates clean power and rewards smooth tempo. Forehand, keep it compact and flat for best results. It is not a headwind specialist, yet in light wind it stays honest. The sweet spot is controlled throws between 45 and 90 metres, stretching to 100 with height. That is where straight midrange flight beats throwing a fairway too hard.
Build And Practical Details
Most runs have a comfortable dome that adds glide without getting floaty. Wear‑in gives you a touch more turn, which actually increases line options. If you prefer fresh stability, keep a backup. If you love buttery turnovers, season one and keep it close.
Pros And Cons In Real Play
- Pros, elite glide, easy stand‑ups, reliable finish when thrown on hyzer
- Pros, forgiving angle window, great disc for tunnel shots and shaping
- Pros, shallow profile grip suits many hand sizes
- Cons, not ideal in strong headwinds
- Cons, power forehands may prefer a firmer fade
Final Thoughts
In this Latitude 64 Claymore midrange review, the pattern was clear, predictable lines with fun shot variety. If you want fewer tree kicks and more tap‑ins, the Claymore earns a place. Claymore flight path control, manageable turn, and a calm finish make it a trusty mid you will reach for, even on scorecard‑tight holes.
