Spike

4.7(43)
Putt & Approach
The Spike is a beadless Latitude 64 putter rated 4/3/-1/1, faster than a typical putter, with a little turn and a small fade. It suits players who like a shallow, smooth putter for long putts and straight approaches. Players who want a deep, beaded putter or an overstable disc for wind should look elsewhere. Latitude 64 says it flies straight for beginners and more understable for advanced players, and describes a flat top, a slim beadless rim, a shallower grip than many putters and two textured grip zones on the flight plate. On Disc Golf Course Review, one player described a shallow feel, players described a fast flight (one called it a laser beam), and another said the grip pads help in wet weather. Latitude 64 calls it the company's second putter, after the Sinus, and the PDGA approved it on 25 March 2007 (07-21). On our comparison table its nearest matches are the Latitude 64 Pure and the Discraft Joy.

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.
