Innova 3-Disc DX Beginner Set (StackPack) vs Latitude 64 Premium Starter Set
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Disc Golf Sets: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
The Innova DX 3-disc is the pick - the classic Leopard, Shark and Aviar trio in beginner plastic in the budget tier. Latitude 64's Premium set upgrades to durable plastics and a Royal Grand Brave driver. Dynamic Discs' Prime Burst is the flashier it-depends. Skip the mystery box - an unspecified assortment is not a starter set.
Innova 3-Disc DX Beginner Set (StackPack)
Buy itThe starter set that taught a generation - DX Leopard driver, Shark mid and Aviar putter.
- The proven trio: Innova's own set is a DX Leopard fairway driver, DX Shark midrange and DX Aviar putt-and-approach - a recipe that has started disc golfers for decades, and the set Innova calls its most popular.
- Beginner-friendly DX plastic, per Innova, with a disc for every shot: driver, mid-range and putt-and-approach.
- Budget tier is the category's plain floor - cheap enough to be a no-risk gift, real enough to keep for years. All three discs are PDGA approved.
- DX is base plastic - it beats in fast, which beginners will think is a feature until the discs go flippy early.
- Retail packs can differ from the factory set - check the listing names the Leopard, Shark and Aviar, or buy from Innova's own store.
Latitude 64 Premium Starter Set
Buy itThe upgrade starter - Royal Grand Brave, Opto Fuse and a Zero Medium Pure in durable plastics.
- Named, chosen molds: the Royal Grand Brave (speed 7, glide 6, turn -1, fade 2), Opto Fuse mid (5, 6, -1, 0) and Zero Medium Pure putter (3, 3, -1, 1) - flight numbers a beginner can learn on.
- Premium Royal and Opto plastics on the driver and mid last far longer than DX - the set that still flies right after a season of trees.
- Designed to grow with skill - the discs stay in the bag long after the beginner phase. All three are PDGA approved.
- Well above the budget starters - the premium is real.
- The Royal Grand Brave is a faster disc; true beginners may find the mid does most of the work early.
- The box text names a Gold Fuse, while Latitude 64's own product photos show an Opto Fuse.
