About the Beetle

Beetle: Latitude 64’s understable putt & approach

The Latitude 64 Beetle is a truly unique disc in the world of disc golf—designed less like a traditional driver or putter and more like a classic catch disc. With flight numbers of 1 | 7 | -1 | 0, it offers incredibly slow speed, massive glide, and just a touch of turn, making it ideal for short-range touch shots, warm-ups, or casual catch between holes. Its oversized diameter and ultra-blunt nose give it a floaty, stable flight that’s unlike anything else in the Latitude 64 lineup.

Approved by the PDGA on March 8, 2017, the Beetle pushes the boundaries of standard disc design with a 21.9cm diameter and unusually high 7.3% rim depth-to-diameter ratio. The shallow 0.8cm rim thickness and extremely grippy profile make it easy to control for both beginners and creative veterans. While it may not be your go-to for competitive rounds, the Beetle is a fun, reliable utility disc perfect for approach finesse and fieldwork fun.
