Latitude 64 says this about the Diamond: "Diamond Light is the choice of disc for beginners, children and people who don't throw very far. It is produced only in weights between 145g-159g. which makes it easy to throw and control. It has an understable flight path with good glide and small fade." It is part of the Easy To Use collection by Latitude 64.

I found a 147g diamond and really liked the disc because no matter how I threw it turned into a roller and rolled right. I lost that disc, so I picked up an ICE splash version at 156g. I don't throw lat64. This disc is really bad. It's floaty but does Not push. It doesn't roll like the other one. It's gummy and even when getting it down on a perfect roller it bounced off the ground and went nowhere, really bad disc. Not sure why they make a gummy roller disc that doesn't roll or fly. Maybe I was having a bad throwing day. The disc does look cool but that's about it.
Newer player here. I bought the Diamond for my wife but I like it so much I need to buy a second. This is my farthest flying disc by 30-40 feet consistently. Not great in strong winds though.
First thing first, 1010 is awesome! The Diamond is awesome understable disc. If you get to know this disc not much you cant do with it. Highly recommend this in your bag!
First driver I learned to throw, would make a great pick up if your new and looking for easier distance once you’ve kinda figured out throwing a midrange.
I have my own championship level course and bought this 150 G Diamond for hole 9 and have a near miss ace and several birdies! 1010 is by far my favorite place to shop for discs !!
Being 60+ years old, I was looking for a "heavier" diamond for breezy days.
I've thrown this disc and it flies as I thought it would. As with the lighter ones, it doesn't take a whole bunch of effort to get good flights out of this disc.
Easy to throw nice strait shots or anhyzer shots that turn right for right-handed backhand throwers like me, who can’t throw a good forehand. Easily made my bag.
This disc definitely has its own irreplaceable niche, which is why I always have it with me at every game. Despite the fact that it is very sensitive and unforgiving, it is still a great unhaze, flies beautifully and far.
