Latitude 64° Project Grip: A New Plastic Built Around Feel
Latitude 64° doesn’t roll out new plastics very often, so when they do, it usually means something. Project Grip isn’t a rebrand or a minor tweak — it’s a real attempt to solve a familiar problem: how to get excellent grip without sacrificing stability or confidence when you throw with power.
At its core, Project Grip is about feel. Latitude 64° set out to create a plastic that feels secure in the hand the moment you pick it up, while still holding up when you put real power behind it. The result is a disc that feels tacky on the surface, but solid where it counts.
What Project Grip Actually Is
Project Grip combines two different plastic characteristics into one disc. The outer surface has a noticeably grippier, tackier feel than most premium plastics, while the inner structure stays firm and supportive. That balance gives you confidence at release without the disc feeling floppy or unpredictable.
- Better grip in cold, humid, or less-than-ideal conditions
- A firm, torque-resistant feel that holds up on full power throws
- Premium flight performance without a drastic change in stability
It’s not trying to be soft or flexible — it’s built to feel locked in and reliable.
Why Players Are Paying Attention
Grip matters more than most people admit. When a disc feels right in your hand, you throw it with more confidence — and confidence leads to better shots. Project Grip leans into that idea without changing what players already trust about Latitude 64° molds.
Early impressions point to a plastic that comes out clean and feels secure at release, especially on drives and controlled fairway shots. It’s the kind of plastic you reach for when conditions aren’t perfect or when you want extra assurance on a tight line.
Latitude 64° is also starting Project Grip in molds that make sense, including the Grace, Rive, and Brave. That gives players a chance to experience the plastic across distance drivers and fairway options right away.
Grip Without the Downsides
One of the most impressive things about Project Grip is what it doesn’t do. It doesn’t feel overly soft. It doesn’t feel gimmicky. And it doesn’t dramatically alter the flight of the mold.
Instead, it keeps the disc stable, predictable, and resistant to torque while making it easier to trust your release. That’s especially noticeable for players who throw hard, play in colder climates, or simply prefer a disc that feels planted in the hand.
What This Means Going Forward
Latitude 64° has been clear that Project Grip is just the beginning. This first release is about getting real feedback from real players and learning where this plastic fits best across their lineup.
If the response matches the intent, Project Grip could become a go-to option for players who care as much about feel as they do about performance. And if you’ve ever wished your favorite premium plastic had just a little more grip, this might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
Final Thoughts
Project Grip feels like a thoughtful step forward rather than a flashy experiment. It’s designed for players who pay attention to how a disc feels in the hand, how clean it releases, and how confidently it flies.
If you get the chance to throw one, pay attention to that first moment — when you pick it up and immediately think, yeah, this feels right.
