The Pearl is a lightweight, very understable Latitude 64 midrange rated 4/6/-4/0. Lots of glide and turn with almost no fade make it a fit for beginners, juniors and players with a moderate throwing speed, and for touch shots and tailwind or recovery lines from stronger players. Players who want a mid that fades back or holds up in wind should look elsewhere. Latitude 64 puts it in its Easy-to-Use line and describes a small grip and low weight, typically under 160 g. Latitude 64 says the -4 turn compensates for lower arm speeds. Players on Disc Golf Course Review describe a light finesse mid; one finds it too flippy to throw hard, and another reports big glide downwind. Latitude 64 released the Pearl in 2012, alongside the Ruby, and the PDGA approved it on 27 June 2012 (12-32). On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Discraft Sol and the Discmania Founder.

DiameterHow wide the disc is, edge to edge. Almost every disc is 21 to 22 cm.
21.6 cm
HeightHow tall the disc is lying flat. Putters are usually the tallest.
1.8 cm
Rim DepthHow deep the rim is underneath, where your fingers grip. Putters have the deepest rims.
1.2 cm
Rim ThicknessHow wide the rim is. Wider rims make faster discs that need a stronger throw.
1.2 cm
Rim Inside DiameterThe width of the flat middle, inside the rim. Bigger usually means a slower, easier disc.
19.2 cm
Rim Depth/Diameter RatioRim depth as a share of the disc's width. Higher means a deeper rim for its size.

Rim ConfigurationA PDGA score for the shape of the edge. Low is sharp, like a driver. High is rounded, like a putter.

BeadA small ridge under the edge of the rim, mostly on putters. It changes how the disc feels in hand.
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.
