    Love this disc. Ever since I recieved it in the Holiday Disc Swap it has been a staple in my bag. Too bad they're so hard to find (check ebay). When I throw this flat it has a nice S line and is very glidey. On hyzer it flips up to flat and and pushes forward forever. 375 ft max

    The Falchion is easily the most slept on disc ever. I have played disc golf for a few years and not once has anyone said "ah man my falchion is literally the most money disc ever" and after purchasing one I am honestly very confused by that. I mean come on it is epic. The falchion is like a one size fits all sock. I could take out all the nine speeds in my bag and just throw the falchion. (As context I bag a fire bird, thunderbird, FALCHION, getaway, and Valkyrie as my 9 speeds). Thrown full power, like FULL power with a tad of anhyzer release, the Falchion will turn and turn before flattening out and fading back in the last 20% of flight. Thrown a little slower, a more typical speed, it will go straight as an arrow before giving a fair amount of fade at the end. And finally, with just a touch of hyzer, the falchion becomes that very reliable overstable disc. 

    I bag the falchion as a swiss army knife. There are many times when I'm faced with a tough hole, or scramble situation where I think "gee I just don't know what to throw" and then I think "Oh wait, duh, its time to grab the Falchion". Normally, the falchion sits between my thunderbird and a very flippy getaway. 

    Definitely buy one of these, you won't regret it.

    The Falchion was one of the most reliable and consistent discs in my bag when i was throwing from a standstill.    Thrown slower it goes straight for about 200' then fades forward about 15'.   As my speed has improved, I can get a nice sweeping S flight out of the falchion or turn it over pretty far. I can throw it with a little Hyzer or Anhyzer to shape the line without rolling over or fading early. If I throw it forehand, it becomes a roller every time so I no longer try that.

    My falchion is a max weight from the trilogy challenge. I heard a lot of groaning during the challenge about how people wish they would have given a "real driver" but I personally had a lot of fun with it! It can get 350+ feet of distance if you have enough space for it to pull a full s curve, but it can be a little touchy in terms of stability. I would say its a great disc for beginners that are working on building enough power to throw distance drivers but aren't quite there yet. The rim is wide enough that it feels like a driver, but its definitely an in-between type of driver that isn't quite a fairway or a distance driver. I think this disc can also be very useful for intermediate to advanced players, but you have to be careful not to overpower it. With some good power it will turn over and ride a nice anny line, and will finish flat, but never really fight out of the turn. One of the more underrated control drivers from Lat64, and is in my opinion better than the saint, but doesn't get as much attention because they are almost the same, but saint has been around longer.

    The Falchion is one of the most underrated drivers in the Trilogy family. Perhaps overshadowed by the Saint? It has great glide and the perfect amount of predictable turn. I have thrown 330' laser beams with this disc that continue straight until hitting the ground. It has a very comfortable rim and always seems to go where I want it and do what I want it to do. It will ride an anhyzer to the ground but has enough stability for a consistent soft hyzer line as well. Besides all that, it has a cool name and a great stamp. What's not to love?

    I love this disc. It's become my favorite fairway driver. Super comfortable feel in the hand. For me, it holds whatever line I put it on with a slight turn and soft fade just as the numbers would suggest. The 6 glide is legit! Shots that I have accidentally threw too low this disc does not want to touch the ground. The Falchion has taken 3 strokes off my game at my local course..and for a course that you play reguarly that is huge! Just buy one.

    I have the Falchion in Opto plastic at 174 g.

    I would say this disc is very similar to the Saint but with a tiny bit less early turn and a little more fade.

    I'm a huge fan of the Saint and bag them in many different plastics and weights.

    The Falchion stays in my bag (along side the Saints) for when I need a little more fade or when I need a disc that will hyzer a little easier than the Saint.

    In a head wind this disc gets pretty flippy.

    For me the Falchion is just a bit more stable than the -1 rating it has.  I was looking for something that had just a bit more turn. That said, the Falchion is a nice disc: comfortable for all hand sizes, good glide and distance. Very slight turn if any, and a slight fade to finish. Overall quite straight. Decent in normal wind, no surprises.

    Right now it's fighting for a spot in my bag with an Escape, they both fly about the same. Both are good, but not wowing me.  I'm going to try the Saint next, as I was looking for that -1 turn.

    Got this disc on a whim, but I'm really glad I did.  The Falchion feels really good in the hand.  The Falchion is for me like a somewhat more stable Sidewinder, but the Falchion has tremendous glide and really eats up distance.  It will hold hyzer lines and anhyzer lines well, but also can be used for nice flex shots.  It can be bagged for versatility, or distance, or both.  It has made my bag, and i recommend everyone give it a shot.

    The Opto Line Falchion (mine is 171g) is another great disc from Latitude 64 with fantastic speed and glide and a minimal amount of turn and fade, making it an incredibly straight-flying and easy-to-control fairway driver. It features a smaller, easy to grip rim and a more neutral flight path which is somewhat beginner friendly (though I would definitely recommend the DGA Sail over this one if you're looking for a completely beginner friendly disc). It's fairly easy to throw and control and it goes a long distance with minimal effort, it's an overall great disc. I also think the flight numbers are pretty accurate (Speed: 9.0, Glide: 6.0, Turn: -1.0, and Fade: 2.0). Like I said earlier, it's easier to use than most discs out there and it's very straight with just a little bit of fade at the end of it's throw (for lower arm speeds). I recommend this disc for anyone, including seasoned beginners, who are looking for a straight control driver that can be thrown for good distance.

    Another very nice fairway driver from from Latitude 64°. Mine is a 171 Opto, and it does bear a lot of simialrity to a Saint. I'd say a fresh Saint is overall more high speed stable and has a tad more fade. Fresh, the Falchion has the same high-speed stability as a Saint, but less fade. I could see this disc beating into something similar to a new Underworld. Overall a nice easy disc to control, can handle some power, solid.

    Another great disc from LATT64. I like this disc for nice fade shots. I throw RHBH and I have a weaker arm and this disc has a very predictable fade that I use to my advantage. I am just starting to develop a forehand and this disc works well for that also. The FALCHION along with the other LAT64 discs that I bag, I am prepared for about any shot that comes my way. I love the opto plastic also. I raised my fade rating to 2.5 because I think it fades a little harder than the other LAT 64 discs that have a fade 2 rating, just my opinion.

    I bag two of these. I can't not throw these guys bad. They are very controllably understable for a decent arm. They glide for days and their action isn't too fast to get you in trouble.

    I have really been trying to love the Saint which has almost the same exact flight on in-flight guide but the darn thing turns over too much and too violently for me. Even the saint pro flips a little too hard.

    All in all I would highly recommend this disc for great distance and pretty shape. Nice and easy level throws net really good length and nice shape for a lot of fairways.

    I ha e two 174G blue with trilogy challenge red stamps.  I would have three identical,  but sadly lost one.  I actually aced a 265' hole during the trilogy challenge in the pouring rain with the disc.  So needless to say I am a huge huge huge fan.  It goes the distance for me.  Just a few feet shy of my bolts with more consistency.  Even into a little wind it does well.  I keep two because once I beat this one in I have a brand new one again.  I plan to always keep a few on hand.

    Flat and glidey is a uncommon but, (I think) an awesome combination. This disc feels like an 8 speed but cuts the air like a 9. I can throw the Falchion 320' foot from a standstill. Thrown  flat, it turns slightly, holds that turn and then dependably fades left of a straight line. A hyzer release will eliminate the turn and pronounce the fade. An anhyzer angle will cause it to turn for most of the flight then fade forwards. Definitely a disc you should try!

    This disc was not one that I could control. It would everytime that I threw the disc do something different each time. Hyzer flip it would also not do the same thing twice for me. This disc just does not fit with either my arm speed or technique. Other people that were throwing this disc at the Trilogy had great success with it I was just not one of them. I finished first in my division using basically the midrange(Sling) and the putter(Marshal).

    Unfortunately I did not get to throw this disc very much at the trilogy challenge in my town. The holes were shorter so I stuck to throwing mostly the putter and the longer holes still only required the midrange for me. There were a few holes where I would use a baby forehand with the Falchion and it worked out well for me, it did exactly what I wanted and I had parked them, I just am not sure what the disc would do for anybody who put power on it.

    I did watch a friend throw his and it worked out pretty well for him. The disc held its line pretty well with a decent amount of fade to it at the end. He described it best as a slightly less stable thunderbird, which I could see in its flight.

    Got the disc at the Trilogy Challenge in Scottsdale, Arizona this weekend. Worked great at the tournament for the majority of the shots. Thrown hard it did tend to turn earlier but had decent fade to fight back. Really comfortable to use and will be a go to fairway driver for accuracy.

    For me this disc was just too power dependent.  If I threw it as full power (80%) I got inconstant results.  I really had to dial it back to 60% to get a decent flight out of it.  This is a great beginner forehand disc, I think that's the best niche for it.  It would also be a good disc to upgrade from if you are new and having been throwing something like the Diamond.

    I got this disc from the trilogy challenge and it has definitely found a place in my bag.  This disc is very comfortable in the hand and seems to fly forever.  I get more distance out of this disc than many of my other discs.  I'm still getting used to it as I expect it to fade a little harder than it does. I'd knock the fade from a 2 to a 1.5 or lower. It seems odd for a driver to be that stable but I often find myself overthrowing the pin because I put it on a line expecting it to fade more and it just doesn't, it just keeps going and going.  I don't have a big arm so for distance this disc is great.

    The Falchion flies, and feels, very, very similar to a Saint. They have very similar rim shapes and widths. The only real difference I can discern is that the Falchion has a flatter top (at least the one the I got from the Trilogy Challenge), which makes it feel a touch more comfortable in the hand, at least for me.

    It flies pretty true to the numbers at moderate armspeed. Thrown flat it will fly very straight with a moderate fade at the end. When thrown into a headwind, or for players with a higher armspeed, the Falchion will turn over when thrown flat, and hold a gentle line to the right.

    I think novice-to-intermediate players will find they get a lot of distance out of this disc, and a lot of control over the flight path. For more experienced players, this thing will be a hyzer flip and turnover machine. All in all, a pretty nice disc, although I'm not sure why Lat 64 felt the need to make it, since it's so similar to the Saint. I'd say if the flight characteristics sound appealing to you, get the Falchion if you like a flatter top, get the Saint if you prefer more dome.

    This disc is awesome. The grip on this disc is very comfortable, it fits in my hand wonderfully. The opto plastic is a great plastic and it is quite grippy. 

    The opto plastic is very strong, and is durable. Its a great fit for this disc.

    The stability of this disc holds true to the description above. It flies very straight with a healthy fade at the end. The neutrality of this disc is wonderful. It is able to fly straight and can handle power. The shapability of this disc comes easy. It can hold slight anhyzers very well and it can hold hyzer lines as well. It is a great disc and it is very dependable. 

    Distance for this disc comes easy. It is a disc that can fly very far with little power. I can throw this usually about 300 feet plus.

    Overall this disc is an awesome disc. I love how dependable it is.
