The Beetle is a slow, very glidy Latitude 64 disc rated 1/7/-1/0. It floats on a slow, straight line, which suits soft upshots, warm-ups and introducing new players, and it doubles as a throw-and-catch disc. Players who want a disc for putting, headwinds or crosswinds should look elsewhere. Latitude 64 describes it as a nod to old-school flying discs, with an oversized diameter and a deep, rounded rim, and notes that it is still fully PDGA approved. It also says the slow flight suits warm-ups and beginners. One player on Disc Golf Course Review compared its float to a classic recreational flying disc; players treated it as a fun utility and catch disc rather than a putter. The PDGA approved the Beetle on 8 March 2017 (17-24). On our comparison table its nearest matches are the MVP Glitch and the Axiom Pitch.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
