What does it mean that the image is labeled "Actual Disc"?
The "Actual Disc" mark indicates that it is our own image of the exact disc you will receive. There will therefore be NO variation in color shades or stamp.
All discs marked "Actual Disc" are also weighed by us with precision scales. Since manufacturers often have a larger margin of error on the scale, you may experience receiving a product that is marked with a different weight.
We group discs that have identical colour, stamp and weight together, so you may find that there is more than 1 in stock of a disc marked "Actual Disc".
What weight should I choose?
What weight should I choose?
Short answer: Is there a difference of a couple of grams between the different variants? Then it doesn't matter much.
Long answer: In general, a lighter disc is often easier to throw for beginners, but is more affected by wind and can be perceived as less reliable. Furthermore, a lighter disc will "skip" forward less when it hits the ground. Experiment with different weights to discover the differences.
If you buy a disc under 170g, it is considered a "lightweight disc". It can be beneficial to experiment with lighter weights, especially for beginners and players who struggle to get up to speed on the disc.
Culverin is an overstable fairway driver. Many fairway drivers fly too straight, and many are too overstable. Culverin fits in between these two segments. For advanced players, the Culverin will offer a straight flight with reliable fade. Do you need a fairway driver that gives you a lot of length and a lot of reliability? Then Culverin is the answer for you.

Opto-X plastic:
Opto Line is one of the most durable plastic compounds on the market. Nevertheless, Latitude 64 has developed Opto-X, which is even more durable. It is also slightly harder and provides more overstability.

If you're looking for an overstable, consistent fairway driver, look no further! The culverin is consistent, always ends left (RHBH), also feels amazing on a forehand! (Nivå på anmelder: Middels)
Mine's only 169 so not quite as overstable as advertised but I don't mind! I have bad form and tend to put a lot OAT on my full power drives and the Culverin doesn't mind at all. It just flies straight down the fairway with a solid fade at the end. It's also great for forehand drives. Does pretty well in moderate winds as well but I've not tested it in anything above 20 mph. Pretty much the definition of a workhorse fairway/control driver. (Nivå på anmelder: Middels)
I got an Opto Culverin based on the similar flight numbers to the Longbowman that I use for both FH and BH drives and approaches. I wanted to use the Culverin exclusively for a BH overstable roller to hit a precise gap and it works well for that but not consistently enough to take up a slot in my bag.

The culverin is a great overstable to stable fairway driver. You can trust that this disc will not get much high speed turn and will always fade for you at the end of the flight. It is not so overstable that it won't go straight or far. It is more of a straight flying disc that starts to fade at about half of its flight. I can really utilize the culverin on a lot of different holes at varying distanced because you can throw it on a big spike hyzer and know it won't flip up straight, you can throw it straight down a fairway and trust it wont get too flippy. Lastly you can throw this disc on a nice long hard anhyzer line and watch it fight out for a full flight with some killer distance. I find this to be a truly workable overstable fairway driver. If you are looking for something like a notch under the firebird, something that is more useable for all shots than a firebird, check out the culverin. It feels amazing for backhand shots and my terrible forehand is able to use this disc well for spike hyzer shots. Beginners should stay away from this disc until they have the armspeed to throw more understable to stable 9 speed discs. Or when they need a consistent fading stable fairway.
