Beginner friendly and has always been a great shot shaping disc for me. I often throw the claymore with a fan grip and get excellent stable drives. Closed grip, I can turn this disc over reliably and shot shape. 

2 yr player, 60yrs with the power you would expect. Thrown for the first time today as left on course for all to use as RIP Disc for dead friend. This disc is easy to throw and arrow straight. Throw in a direction and it goes there. I'd rank it next to the Mako 3 Champion for distance and straightness plus ease of throwing. May have a slight more fade than the Mako 3 but hard to tell it's so straight. This is a must have for beginners and low power throwers like me. I got consistent 250ft down the center with it. If I tried a hyzer, that's what it did. Anhyzer, took the line and stayed there

Good mid range disc. The rim is very comfortable to grip and easy to get a good amount of spin on when you throw it. The Opto plastic is tacky enough. I found the one that I currently bag, so it was not brand new when I started throwing it (might be beat in more than other people who posted reviews). When I throw mine, it slowly turns for about the first 75% of the flight then will fade back if it had enough height on the throw. It is not a very forgiving disc. If my release angle, or height is off just a little bit, then I will miss my target by a wider margin than other mid ranges in this slot. As a result, I have ordered some other mid ranges in this slot form Infinite and will be replacing this disc soon. Currently, my favorite mid range in this slot is the Axiom Hex.

I do like this disc a lot and feel like it is pretty true to its flight numbers. I keep trying to find a disc to replace it, but it keeps finding its way into my bag. I feel like it is more true to its numbers and does not fly like the buzzz or Hex that have the same flight numbers. 

I've always tried to recreate the advice I heard once from James Conrad during a podcast interview, when he stated, "if you can throw 300 ft on a straight line consistently, you can compete successfully anywhere."  I've had many discs that have been semi-stable to understable, but only when I finally began throwing the Claymore did I discover the truth and value of that statement.  With the added glide in comparison to it's Discraft cousin, the famous Buzzz, I have found that I can get a little more out of the Claymore, which gives me that last 30-40 feet I love to see out of it.  It is INCREDIBLE as a straight-flying, hyzer-flip friendly mid-range, and I would put it up against any other of that style, no question.  

Recently started playing disc golf regularly. A friend gave me this disc to add to my set and it's been the greatest asset to my game.

This thing flies straight for a good 200ft and has a slight turn to it's finish. The plastic (Opto) feels amazing and offers a good amount of grip for RHBH shots.

I would highly recommend this disc to anyone starting off or experienced players alike.

The Claymore is an excellent mid range disc, that is unfortunately overshadowed by the Compass and Fuse. If you look at the disc numbers it fits right in between those two stability wise. Usually I hear it referred to as an understable disc, like the Fuse, but I think it is pretty neutral flying. The Gold line ones tend to be very straight and the Opto is a touch more stable. I even have a couple of the sparkle metal flake like Opto ones that are more stable than a Compass, almost Emac Truth stable.  It has a good feel in the hand. Not too deep, and has a nice rim that has kind of a subtle micro bead . I like how you can throw a lot of different lines with it. I primarily use it for hyzerflip to straight shots that have a soft fade, or low power hyzer shots. You can also easily throw anyzer or slow turning shots with it. It also excels for jump putts and forehand touch shots. I personally think it is the best mid on the market, and is a must try for everyone.

The Frost Line Claymore is a great midrange. The extra tick of stability is great for very straight shots with no turn or fade. I imagine that other plastics would be less stable. That said, I took it out of the bag because of overlap. At the time, I was throwing the Fuse with the Claymore, and I wanted to minimize my molds. Anything less stable than the Frost Claymore would have been directly overlapping with my Fuses, so I swapped it out for the Compass. Now I bag the Patrol for the understable midrange slot, and if those get too flippy on me, the Claymore is first on the short list to try for that slot.

I am still new to the game, but one of the first discs I got was a gold claymore. It has served me well as I approach six months in and about 4 rounds a week. I have it in most plastics it is offered in, and I will note some variations in performance below. In general, this is what some people call a point and shoot disc, and I would agree with those people. It has enough beef to hold a nice crank but it is not hard to turn over. I find myself throwing an eMac in place of it a lot lately because its a bit more stable, but I think that's just because I am rounding (I am still working on my form). Once you break in a claymore, I find that the fade really decreases, which is nice for accurate tunnel shots, and tacking on some extra distance. I also think that the claymore, as Lat 64 states on the old stamp, is a great midrange driver. I think comparisons to the Buzzz are fair, and it competes in that realm, but I think the claymore is possibly better suited off the tee than the Buzzz, and I prefer it to the Buzzz.

Gold (trilogy challenge 2014): This is the first one I used and is the baseline. I think this is the plastic you want if you are planning on using it primarily as a midrange, approach style disc. The grip is nice, and the durability is surprisingly good.

Gold: I found that a later production gold claymore was perhaps a bit more stable but it could be because it is newer. I would be comfortable saying it is the same.

Opto: This is my preferred plastic for most of my claymore throws because i find that it is a bit more stable than the gold, and a little faster. I suggest this plastic if you are going for a midrange to throw off the tee, a borderline fairway driver type use. Durability is spectacular.

Frost (1st run): Some have said that this plastic is the most stable, but that is not my experience. I would say that this plastic is the least stable version I have used, but as you might expect there are some pros to this. I swap this one in for my gold one sometimes, and I think it is better for approaches because it does not require as much speed and can fly arrow straight from a stand still throw for me. I also like the feel of this plastic, and would recommend it for its intended purpose of cold weather use if you can find one of these.

Frost Moonshine: This is a cool disc. The feel is similar to the regular frost line, but a bit slicker in my opinion. I think that this version is noticeably more stable than the regular frost and is similar in flight to a new gold line. I have not used this one much because I would like to keep it fresh as a backup but I think (like all Trilogy glow versions) it will be pretty stable comparatively. I will say that the glow feature works, but Lat 64 glow is not the best on the market. I have a few and they are alright but Innova, Kastaplast, and MVP all have stronger glow in my experience.

All in all, this is an amazing disc with a great feel and many uses on the course. I think I will always have at least one in my bag, if not more.

One of my favorite discs ever.My first non-Innova disc, I've bagged it (opto line) for a while but didn't really start using midranges often until this year... thanks covid for giving me time to work on my technique. I use it literally on 95% percent of the holes I play. I can throw it flat, on a hyzer line, or an anny. At this point, it has been beaten in to where it doesn't have hardly any fade unless I throw at a sharp hyzer angle; it actually hooks to the right most of the time now. It's lost a bit of the glide it once had, but is my workhorse. I love it with all my heart. 

One of my favorite discs of all time. Not that it's any better than any other disc, but objectively to me it is the luckiest disc of all time. I got my first claymore when I had just began playing and it acted as a middy, driver, and putter all in one. This thing bangs chains on a windy day with a long putt. This thing bangs chains if you hyzer it hard around a group of trees on a 200fter. This thing bangs chains if you send it 100% at the basket from any distance. In all seriousness, this thing will fly straight enough to be very useful for beginner players and experienced players alike. Definitely recommend picking one of these up and trying it. You can find some really cool stamps for it as well.

I don't know what happened. This disc got lost some how not literally.  This came in a black Friday mid-madness that I was treating myself to!  I remember how spot on this was right out of the box magical and lustrous hyzers and anhyzer.  Then it got lost in the mix of other mids and when it finally came out it went way off line.  It seems to me I don't have the touch that this requires.  Good disc all in all but I think I just like more overstable mids.

My first Claymore was one of my first discs.  Back then it flew with reliable fade and I could throw entire rounds with it.   At this point I have a new-ish Opto Claymore that flies consistently understable and fills a key spot in my bag.  I can throw a sidehill shot laser straight since it will fight gravity with its turn.   I can also depend on it to turn 10-15 degrees when thrown full power.  It is not my main mid but it is a good utility disc when needed. I cannot throw it forehand since it turns and rolls quickly, even with extreme hyzer.  

If youve been looking for a disc that flies like the Discraft Comet, but feels better in the hand. I used to love throwing Beaded midranges, like rocs. But lately my game has evolved and now I prefer no or small beaded mids. Im getting smooth clean releases. The Claymore is so nice for a Turnover Drive. It almost Flies like a Leopard in how far you can get it to go. The disc seems to Turn with confidence, rather than glidey and unsure. If you are a pro looking for a mid to throw turnovers with, or AM looking for straight, try this one.

I have been using this as my primary midrange for well over a year now. I would absolutely recommend this disc. I love it very much. It follows any line you put on it. I use it for short straight drives, it's great for a hyzer curve around a tree, anything you could possibly need it for. Phenomenal disc.

Love this disc.  It does everything I want it to do.  Every throw and angle works for me.  Dead straight throw - no problem, Need hyzer - no problem, Need anny - no prob, etc

You get the picture.  I love this disc

I had this disc in in the biofuzion with the TC stamp on it, but I have also thrown a opto several times. This is a very good disc in my opinion for a beginner to get. It's not super overstable or super fast and they will be able to get some distance with it. It's also more a shallow mid and felt super comfortable in the hand. I wouldn't say it had a 5 glide more of a 4.5 and the speed would be 4.5-5 but not any faster. As it broke in I could get some good turn out of it and then just a baby fade to break it out of the turn and it would gently land flat and not go much further than where it came in contact with the ground.

I can say the opto was a little more stable when I threw it, and it had a little more dome and just a tad more glide to really see a 5 glide. I really enjoyed it as well but I already had a seasoned eMac that did the same and the opto didn't make the bag due to that. I kept the bio in the bag till I lost it one day on a terrible utility shot. 

Overall a very good disc for beginners and can be a versatile utility disc for more advanced players. 

I've thrown the Claymore in Opto plastic.

The disc feels fairly shallow for a mid range. The one I have is as flat as a disc can be and feels really good in the hand. On 60-80m it flies as straight as a disc can fly, with as little fade as you could image. A real point and shoot disc. It is however a little more on the under stable side, as it will turn a fair bit on me if thrown with 80-100m of power. 

I would bag it if I didn't prefer my G-line (super grippy) MD3. If I was to lose that disc, the Claymore would most likely fill the spot.

Due to the rim being shallow and the disc being flat, it feels great for sidearm flicks.

5/5 Stars, would find an unmarked one on the ground again.

What a great disc, from the feel in your hand to the flight it is just that, a great disc. Very similar to a compass in my opinion, but a beat in compass, just a tough of high speed turn. Very predicable, very versatile. not a whole lot can be said more. Every bag needs that turn over/hyzer flip disc and for me this is it.  

Prolly the sneakiest midrange in the game.

Sometimes they go like 350-400 feet....

Id get one and start messing with it, for me its my do what ever i want disc

Honestly one of the best midranges out there. Dead straight, with a slight fade at the very end. I personally use it around 230' to 270'

As someone who has been playing for a few years now, this disc is one of the better ones I've thrown. You can put this disc on any kind of line and it will pretty much hold to it. I throw mid ranges off the tee box more than anything and this is my go to disc if I need an accurate throw with a reliable fade at the end. Has enough glide that you can bomb it if needed. I'd recommend you bag this disc

Fantastic disc! I throw a very mixed bag, and this is the best understable mid that I've used to date. I use it for midrange shots that I want to end right, to go with my Elite Z Buzzz for straight shots, and my Champion Roc3 for shots that need a slight left finish. The Opto Claymore comes out of the box only a tad less stable than the Buzzz, but settles in rather quickly to the perfect stability for a slow left to right finish (for right hand backhand). Without needing much power at all, it can be thrown flat, and then it will turn over slightly to get that slow right drift, much like that of a finesse midrange flick, which I find much more difficult to accomplish. On top of that, this is the most comfortable disc in my hand out of any I've ever thrown. I highly recommend this midrange for any skill level, though I suggest experienced players have at least one additional midrange, that has more stability to complement the Claymore. 

Great disc but it has been surpassed by the compass.  Still great though.  can handle just about any line but can't handle to much power, glides nice but not to much.  Awesome feel. good stability. The extra stability of the compass just makes it more universal.

very straight flying mid-range holds any line it's thrown on with a gentle finish great for beginners

Very neutral/straight mid.  The opto plastic feels great.  This disc brand new was fantastic, but after hitting a few trees I found it to be more understable than I'd prefer.  Similar flight to the original truth but the rims feel very different.  Great disc.

This is one of the best mids in terms of feel in the hand.  Its got a very comfortable rim and consistant clean release.  This is a great disc for those low ceiling straight shots.  Dont expect much turn or fade initially.  The max weight Optos are a touch more stable than the Gold Lines, and hold that stability for a while.  These will actually be a direct replacement for my seasoned McPro Roc3s.  They have almost identical flights as a seasoned McRoc3 (IME), but can be had at a reasonable cost.  The Claymore isn't the disc you want if you're looking to cycle a few of them to cover shots, or if your're looking for a versitile disc.  In my opinion, they dont start off stable enough to bag more than two, if you beat one in to US. 

As for the numbers, the speed is right, but I dont think they have quite as much glide as represented on the disc.  I give it a 4 instead of a 5 there. 

This disc to me is what the old CE Comets were of yesteryear.  After a few good tree strikes, you can put this disc on any line and it'll hold.  I currently bag 2, a regular Opto stamped and a Hand Eye stamped disc.  The Hand Eye stamped disc for me is a little more flippy since I've beat it in over time.  She'll hold a long 250ft anhyzer shot with ease and lay nicely.  You can hyzer flip the crap out of this disc, and the glide is awesome.  This is my go to mid for any shot I need in an open area 200-275ft.  

I have a 174 opto claymore ita not broke in yet but it flies just like the numbers suggest. I believe its between the buzzz and buzzz ss. I recommend it for anyone looking for an all purpose midrange.

I dare say straighter than an arrow. I've over thrown on shorter holes with this disc, not becasue it's easy to over power but becasue it's pretty easy to throw. Not sure what else can be said, it's a solid disc and probably my favorite straight midrange. 

I tried this disc in Recycled plastic during the first Trilogy Challenge and I wasn't in love. I kept trying to bag the disc but I already had things in my bag that were similar so it never stuck...then I tried the Opto Claymore. This thing is exactly what I've been hoping the Truth would be: a freakin' laser beam. I haven't really ripped into this disc full power yet but at 70-80% power it still holds a dead straight line and finishes dead straight. I have yet to use a disc like this. It is DEFINITELY staying in the bag now. I have a bright green 177g mold.

This disc will hold any line you throw it on... I highly recommend it!

This disc is straight as hell, a little more snap and it turns slight right. Great controllable disc.

This guy, this guy has it going on.  Replaced my M4 within a few throws.  It's that great "middle" mid.  Falls right between the Core and the Fuse.  It is just understable enough to turn it (unlike the Core), but will come back (unlike the Fuse).  It flies a lot like a stiff M4 or an MVP Axis.  But, like every Latt64 disc, it has an extra bit of glide.
