Striker!

Latitude 64 Stiker:

 

Hyzer, Flat, Anhyzer...

 

How is your Striker flying from the different releases?

 

GO!

 

(mention weight, plastic, and distance if you have the time)

Mine is Opto 172 and flies wherever I tell it to go...its my go-to disc--I love it!

[Gbudz]

thanks! how's the distance?

[Ryan S. Flahive]

the forehand maxes out around 400 and the backhand around 425 (on a good day!)...but the flight is so reliable, I'm usually not too worried about the distance; its a disc I use when i need to hit a tight line...

[Gbudz]

great! i throw very similar (no FH anymore) but that's about what i'm at. i realize that it's not a super distance driver like the havoc or halo, i was just wondering what kind of arm power you had so i could judge whether i could get the same kind of control that you are getting. thanks again

i use a 169 opto striker.  i like it.  flies similar to a teebird with just a touch more speed.  will hold a flat or anny line beautifully.  it will hold a soft hyzer line as well, though i don't use it for that.  i would say i can put it about 325' (which is quite close to my high end on distance).  i have not really tried it forehand.  i have to add that opto plastic is gotta be the most beautiful and durable stuff out there.

[Gbudz]

thanks! my teebird (+ mold) is overstable, so i'm hoping that a striker would be more workable, and from the increased distance that you talk about, it sounds like it is.

[phynie]

my T+ was overstable too.  the striker is definitely more workable than that disc.  it has a touch more glide than my star T and therefore outshoots it by about 10-20'.  the glide on those lat 64 discs is sick!  they just keep going......

[Gbudz]

going and going and going...

 

good to hear the direct comparison to the TB+! sounds like i'm about to pick a striker up!

Thanks for starting this discussion because I recently got one. Had to dye it before it went in the bag. Haven't thrown it much but I'm now looking forward to throwing it more.

[Gbudz]

ha no problem man. let me know how it goes.

 

which plastic type did you dye?

[Wicked Dyes]

I got an opto one. crystal clear. So I had to dye it.

[Gbudz]

no doubt. i was gonna say, it would seem like a tragedy to dye the gl plastic - it's beautiful as is!
