The Spike is one of the earliest discs from Latitude 64. Even though it was marketed as a putter, many players found it versatile enough to be a putt-midrange hybrid disc.
This disc has a shallow and low profile, perfect if you have smaller hands or shorter fingers. On the flight plate, there are grip pads, a feature meant to improve your grip’s tacky feeling.
This feature can come in handy when you need a little extra traction, especially if your hands are sweaty. But if you’re not into them, there’s plenty of space to place your thumb outside the pads, so it’s not something to worry about too much.
The flight is straight and doesn’t glide a ton, which makes it excellent for approach shots where you don’t want a dramatic fade. However, it’s also a versatile and fun disc to throw.
It can handle all sorts of angles and hold the lines very well, such as hyzer flips. No wonder many players had fun throwing it off the tee.
If you like a putter that feels faster, especially for those longer out-of-the-circle putts, the Spike is also a solid choice that you can trust.
Overall, Spike is a unique hybrid disc that offers stability and control that won’t flip on you.
