Hi. My name is Leiv and my name is Sigrid from Team Latitude 64
Ok... *Laughing*
Hi. My name is Leiv and my name is Sigrid from Team Latitude 64
And we're both representing Trondheim Frisbee Club
We have managed to get a hold of the Ballista Pro, this disc will be available in February
I bought this disc from the L64 Custom store.
Its actually a limited run of only 100 discs
And we've had lotsa fun with this disc today!
We have compared it with the old Ballista
We have also compared it with a World, which is also speedclass 14
Quite similar in flight numbers actually..
and a Snow Line Ballista
and a Lucid Sheriff
We have to thank our buddies from the club Jan Sindre and Ingar
for lending us some discs to compare with
Let me start with the old Ballista first
The old Ballista was a big seller, very popular disc
Especially the first run Snow Line Ballista
wich was more stable than the ordinary stock Ballista
And its became a legendary disc
and after a huge demand
Latitude 64 finally caved in and pimped up the old Ballista with a new much more stable version
called the Ballista Pro
There is several other molds also that have a pro version
Yeah River Pro
And they will keep on coming
As we know the flight numbers for the trilogy discs is not always on point
But according to the numbers these are quite similar actually
14 | 4 | 0,5 | 4
14 | 4 | 0 | 3
We have both tried em out today
For me the old Ballista is quite beefy, well not that beefy, but it have a healthy fade at the end, which can be useful on the course
and surprise surprise, the Ballista Pro is even beefier, actually too much a meathook for my armspeed
What do you think?
Well actually I have not thrown the ballista that much
I have taken a liking to the Sheriff, wich is
somewhat a similar type of disc
i have thrown the World, and also Defender
and I have thrown the Gladiator quite alot
So I was excited to see how the Ballista Pro would turn out
The write up and marketing surrounding this realease got me curious
and quite excited
and I have to say I was not disappointed by this disc
I am really pleastantly surprised
I am usually not that found of disks with this kind of wingshape
not sure how to explain it, but this wingshape is not for me personally
I have to point out that they look almost identical
yea, it feels identical in the hand as well
So If you're already familiar with the old Ballista, this will feel excatly the same
Even though this is a wide rimmed driver
with this kinda downwardfacing wingprofile
I'm usually not that into, i have to say
I'm a huge fan of the Ballista Pro
Its really cold outside today
and there is a medium left to right tailwind
so not the best conditions for getting the true flight
seeing how the disc honestly flies, the line it takes
and of course as we are located in Trondheim
So the weather is never stable here
or overstable weather
Ehm...
well...
for me....
ehm..
I throw both at approximately the same distance
But I can really trust the Ballista Pro
specially in windy conditions
Yea i can relate to that
I had a few really good releases today
and when the old Ballista flips over
you know its gone... never coming back
But for my armspeed the Ballista Pro hooks up immediately... a meathook
Well I got it to ride a turn nicely before hooking up
and I can really lay into it.
This is not the biggest field either
Didn't get a full maximal flight
But we definitely got a
impression of what this disc has to offer
It really feels like the Old Ballista's big brother
So do you think they managed to capture the flight of the SNow Line Ballista with this release
Well I have only thrown that one a few times
and that is not the legenadary first run Snow Line Ballista
no, this is the Scandinavian Open realese
I really like throwing it tho
plastic feels excellent
thanks again Ingar
We also compared the Ballista Pro against the Lucid Sheriff
You throw that quite alot don't you?
yea well, you know the sheriff
it cant handle any wind,
and its sensitive to which angle you release it on
and a notch more understable than the Ballista Pro
So its kind a of disc with a straight true line?
bah flipmonster. jk...
Nah but seriously
I really liked this disk tho, and havent really thrown it much before today
yea its become really popular
I get why, really easy distance for the slower arms
Its a step down in stability compared to Ballista Pro
For me
And this is the prototype version
the releasedate is coming up very soon
since you're a apart of team64
So when is it coming out?
in february
what date then?
No date yet but late february
Yea more stuff coming up
exciting things happening at the factory in Sweden
Good stuff going on here in Norway as well
yep and the 2k overmold fairway is coming out soon
and a putter release? or midrange?
Well atleast there is more exciting molds coming and
we can test and review them as well
It all depends how many likes we get
click the like button and please comment what other discs you would like to see reviewed
So you're coming back to review more with me? Excellent
Of course. This so much fun! Even considering the wind and cold
And as we say here in Trøndelag
The grass is always greener on the..
underside of the snow....
where the heating cables are installed...
PEACE OUT
