Latitude 64 Hope – Royal Grand
The Hope is a medium-depth, beadless putter with a smooth rim and a straight-to-slightly-overstable flight. It is designed for clean releases on putts, approaches, and controlled tee shots.
Royal Grand combines premium grip, durability, and a smooth finished rim for a comfortable feel in the hand.
Flight Numbers: Speed 2 | Glide 3 | Turn 0 | Fade 1
I wanted to try this putter because I really dig some of the new Lat 64 Royal line discs. This disc follows a pretty straight flight path, which I prefer. The rim is just a bit deeper than I like, but not excessively deep. The new Latitude 64 Royal Grand plastic is fantastic for drivers and mids, but Royal Grand plastic is a bit hard for a putter in my opinion. The Royal Grand plastic has some trouble holding the chains, and I have had a few frustrating spit-outs that would have probably held with softer plastic. I also purchased this mold in Royal Sense plastic, which is a bit more understable and holds the chains better because the plastic is softer. The Sense plastic I received has a small bead on the rim, not found on the Grand plastic, which I personally do not like. Overall, the Royal Grand Hope is a nice putter that I will use in windy conditions, but it will not replace my Warden for now.
