Fairway Driver · Stable vs Understable
The Latitude 64 River (7/7/-1/+1) and Prodigy F5 (8/6/-2/+1) are both fairway drivers, and they fly similarly, with only minor differences.
The F5 is the faster disc (speed 8 vs 7), needing a touch more arm speed, while the River comes up to speed at a lower power level. The River is the more overstable of the two (stability 0 vs -1), so it fights wind and finishes harder to the left, while the F5 flies straighter or turns more. Estimated maximum distance is about 109 m for the River versus 110 m for the F5.
Choose the River when you need to fight wind, throw forehand, or want a dependable finishing hook. Reach for the F5 when you want a straighter line, an easier turnover, or more help at a lower arm speed.
