River

4.7(487)
Control Driver
The River is a straight-flying, high-glide fairway driver produced by Latitude 64. It is slow enough that newer players will be able to get considerable distance and a full S-curve, and torque-resistant enough that more advanced players will be able to use it for turnovers and hyzerflips. The River was approved in 2010, and since then has established itself as one of the most popular fairways amongst beginners and intermediate players. Its beginner-friendly flight means it is not commonly thrown amongst pros, but Connor O’Reilly did select it as his tour series disc. In terms of collectability, PFN runs and bass-stamped runs are somewhat sought after.

The Latitude 64 River is one of the most-reviewed discs we track.

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.
