The Swedish entry into the world of golf discs is Latitude Discs, a company bringing a rather broad range of fliers to the market, including a pair of drivers I've had a chance to throw; the Halo and Vision, and the midrange Fuse

Latitude offers their range with four different plastics options depending on what disc in the line you are looking at.

In the case of the Halo, Vision and Fuse tested, all are in the Gold Line. The company website explains the "Gold Line is our premium blend plastic. The start of the mix has been the same brand plastics used in Opto Line but we added a different polymer to give it better grip without losing the excellent durability of Opto Line."

I will admit the colours of the three discs are vibrant, but in the end the key is how well the discs fly.

In the case of the two drivers, for me results have been mixed on the course.

The good news is the Vision. This disc has a low profile which feels nice in the hand and flies a nice level pattern over the ground. It eats up the yardage and it stays surprisingly straight given the distance achieved.

The Vision is also a disc I hold out hope I will grow into as a player. It does nicely for me as a beginner, but the company website suggests it will offer more as I get better. "Developed to suit beginners and amateurs. It has an understable flightpath and a good glide It can also be used as a roller by more advanced players. This is the driver of choice for players who throw up to 350-feet."

All right folks I haven't tossed any disc 350-feet yet, but if I ever get to that point I could see it with the Vision.

On the downside, the 'shiny' look also gives the disc a slick top, and I've shanked a few tosses with early release, or nose-dives into the ground. This is a player issue more than a disc one, but be aware to keep your concentration at the max when you throw the Vision.

Then there is the Halo. It has the same low profile and same plastic and yet I can't get results which match the Vision at all.

The company states, "Halo is a high speed long range driver with excellent speed and distance.

This is the longest driver we´ve produced. The wide weight span will make it fit in many players bags, from pros to amateurs. For a hundred meter toss it feels stable and consistent."

I keep going back to the Halo. It sits in the bag tempting me with its sleek look. So I take it to the tee, go through the delivery that sends the Vision down the course so well, and watch the Halo underachieve expectations, usually fading far left after an all too-short flight.

This may be a case of too little arm, and too much disc, and I still believe with a bit of polish on my game the Halo will shine for me. It might even be a benchmark to indicate I am progressing as a disc golfer.

But for now, I see the Vision as the better option, in fact an option which well earns a spot in your bag.

And, that brings us to the midrange Fuse.

This is the gem of the trio.

The Fuse is a simply great midrange option, a straight flyer which big throwers will likely utilize at the tee box on occasion.

Latitude 64 obviously recognizes they have something rather special with the Fuse, at least from their website statement on the disc.

"Fuse is the most versatile midrange driver we have ever made. It has been co-designed with our pro Jesper Lundmark. We wanted a disc that could hold curves with minimal fade at the end and are really pleased with the outcome. This superb midrange will fit in most players bags and is available in our popular Opto and Gold Line plastics.

"The Fuse has a stable, predictable flight pattern up to 90 meters (300 ft)."

Now as stated earlier I haven't gotten 300-feet out of the Fuse either. Honestly, as a 51-year-old first-year player, I am not sure I will ever have the combination of strength and technique to throw 300-feed. I can sort of deal with the fact my 23-year-old son is always going to out throw me.

That all said, the Fuse still offers the benefit of being as straight a flyer as I have tossed so far, and that means from among about 60 different discs from more than a dozen of the leading disc manufacturers in the world. I like that a lot, although it is something I must remember to remind myself of when choosing the Fuse. Throw it like other midranges expecting a fade finish and you are going to be farther from the basket than you wanted to be.

Latitude 64 is right though in suggesting most players will find a place for the Fuse in their bag, or at least they should be, because it is a darned fine disc.
