Latitude 64 Ballista Pro – Built for Power, Made to Fly

 

There are discs you grow into. Ones that ask more from your form, arm speed, and patience. The Latitude 64 Ballista Pro is one of those. It's not trying to be everybody's driver—but it unlocks something different for the players who can handle it. Something faster, farther, and—occasionally—fierce.

But is it the right disc for you? That's where things get interesting. Because the answer depends not just on stats or specs but on what kind of disc golfer you are right now… and maybe who you're trying to become.

 

Designed for Distance: The Ballista Pro's First Impression

 

From the first throw, it's clear the Ballista Pro wasn't built for safe, conservative golf. It's meant to move. With a speed rating of 14, a glide of 4, a turn of 0, and a fade of 3, this disc flies with a purpose and tends to stay on that path.

If you've thrown the original Ballista, you'll notice the Pro version adds more stability. That means fewer high-speed turns, more reliable fade, and better handling in windier conditions. It doesn't drift wildly or flatten out too soon. Instead, it holds a line like it means it.

But it's not just raw power. The Ballista Pro has a surprisingly tight flight for a high-speed driver. It could be the rim shape, or it could be how it interacts with different release angles. Either way, it's not as unruly as some other speed-14 discs. That doesn't make it easy—but it does make it predictable. And when you're throwing 400+ feet, predictability is priceless.

 

Who Is This Disc Actually For?

 

It's easy to say "advanced players," but that doesn't always mean the same thing.

The Latitude 64 Ballista Pro is best suited for:

• Players with faster arm speeds who want more control without sacrificing distance
• Forehand throwers looking for a reliable fade without excessive drift
• Anyone who struggles with high-speed turns long-distance drives
• Disc golfers working on pushing their max distance but want a disc that grows with them

Beginners? Maybe not the best first choice. Unless you're experimenting with higher-speed discs and you're okay with seeing it fade out hard—or skip like crazy. Some intermediate players on the edge of complete control might find it oddly helpful. It teaches you how to throw harder but smarter.

 

Plastic Options: Feel and Flight in the Hand

 

The Ballista Pro is available in Opto and Gold Line plastics—both premium and durable, but they don't feel the same in the hand.

• Opto plastic has a slightly firmer, slicker feel. It holds its stability longer and tends to beat in slowly.
• Gold Line offers a little more grip and might soften over time, adding a touch more turn without fully flipping.

Most players lean toward Opto for maximum durability and a consistent fade. But Gold Line has fans, too, especially in humid or cold conditions when grip becomes more of an issue.

Some folks keep both in the bag—one for open, windier shots and one for more nuanced control.

 

On the Course: Real-World Performance

 

Throw the Ballista Pro on a wide, open fairway, and it feels alive. On a full-power backhand, it pushes forward with surprising glide before gently fading, always trying to bite back left (for RHBH). There are not a lot of high-speed turns—unless your form adds some—and the low-speed fade kicks in with a sharp but not punishing finish.

Forehand? That depends on your release. The stability suits sidearm throwers who can put some heat on it. Some say it flies like a stretched-out Firebird but with less bite and more distance potential. That's not a perfect comparison, but it gives you a general idea.

In headwinds, the Ballista Pro earns its name. It cuts. It doesn't get pushed around easily, though it can fade out earlier than expected if you're underpowered. It's not a utility disc, but you could shape a few clever lines with an anhyzer release and much room.

 

A Disc You Grow Into

 

Here's the thing—there's a learning curve with the Ballista Pro. It's not immediately forgiving. The disc will let you know if your release angle is inconsistent or your timing's off. Sometimes sharply.

But once it clicks, it clicks. You begin to feel how it wants to be thrown—firm, smooth, with just a bit of hyzer or flat—and stop trying to force the distance. It shows up on its own.

We've heard players say they "didn't get it at first" but returned to it months later and fell in love. That seems about right. It's a disc with an attitude, but not in a bad way. Just… it has standards.

Final Thought: Should You Try It?

 

If you're already throwing speed 12–13 drivers and want something a little faster and more consistent, then the Ballista Pro might be precisely what you need.

It's not a cheat code, and it won't do the work for you. But for players still refining their distance game, it can be a valuable, even transformative, addition to the bag.

It's the kind of disc that doesn't just ride with you through your season—it makes you a little better.
