New Latitude 64 ChainGrip Plastic
If you’ve watched professional disc golf tournaments recently, you might have seen some nasty spit outs for Isaac Robinson. A spit out is when you hit chains with your putt, but the disc still manages to pop out of the basket. It seemed to be happening a lot to Isaac, but in reality, it happens to all of us at some point. What if there was a way to make a disc so the chances of a spit out were greatly reduced? Latitude 64 might just have the answer.
A couple months ago, Latitude 64 released a new type of plastic as part of Project ChainGrip. They used a patent-pending technique to create a disc with a regular stiff flight plate and a grippy, tacky outer rim. The combination was called ChainGrip. The goal was to improve your chances of having the disc stay in the basket, while giving you a clean, consistent disc release.
20,000-Putt Mission
With the release of the ChainGrip prototypes, Latitude 64 set a goal to get feedback from users comparing the success rate of the new plastic combination with regular putters. They wanted to evaluate 10,000 putts with a regular disc and 10,000 putts with the ChainGrip putters to see how they compare. Latitude wanted to know if the feel and release of the disc, as well as the ability to stay in the chains, was better or worse. Although Latitude hasn’t released the data yet, they say the results have been positive.
New Release
The feedback has been so positive that Latitude will be releasing two molds in the ChainGrip plastic to everyone. The Pure and the Peak, two popular putters from Latitude 64 will be available on August 13.
Latitude 64 ChainGrip Pure
The Pure is a straight-flying putt/approach disc that performs just as well off the tee as on the green. It has a minimal amount of turn and just a little fade, making it easily shapable and reliable.
The Peak is similar in flight to the Pure. The Peak is beaded and has a low profile. Approach or putt with confidence with the ChainGrip Peak.
