FAQ
This disc golf driver excels at distance, with customers reporting gains of 50+ feet. "Great for beginners" achieving 240ft straight throws, while experienced players reach 400ft+. The disc requires proper technique as it can flip without correct form. Some found it "too flippy," needing skill to control. Praised for quality and versatility across arm speeds.
- I've went from 275 to 365 ft, my form has improved a lot
- I was struggling to reach 200 feet, but not with this one. A couple of throws hitting 240ft
- 50+ feet extra on my best distance shot before it. Love it!

Sooo good distance for me

The disc does flip over if not right technique but on the up side it has transformed my game. I'm 59 years old and I've went from 275 to on my last throw 365 ft....my form has improved alot by mostly using my lower half of my body more...

This disc is fantastic. As a low-speed beginner, I was struggling to reach 200 feet, but not with this one. A couple of throws as I was hitting 240ft and keeping it nice and straight. As time goes on, it's only going to get even better.

Opto Bolts fly! I can easily get par 3 on holes that are 300-400ft away. I recommend the Opto over thr Gold if you understand the disc better. Opto is less forgiving as the gold but you trade the forgivness for performance.

I get the length every throw with Bolt

We bought the disc because we watch and enjoy Jonathan's videos. So we needed something from Latitude 64. Plus my husband really likes it.
Hello Deb,
Thank you for your review.
Great to hear that you are enjoying Jonathan's videos and the Opto Bolt. :)

The bolt is my go to driver.

There really isn’t much to say other than BUY A FUSE I mean bolt. It is a great disc for just about any arm speed and the quality is unmatched. But also buy a fuse.

Unfortunately for me the Bolt is way too flippy throwing backhand shots. Perhaps I lack the required technique to throw it properly but out of 100ish throws there's only a handful of times where it didn't flip out of control and roll for eternity. Therefore it's too unreliable for my liking.
Love the River though, that disc is like a cheat code for the technically challenged.
Hello Rasmus,
Thank you for your review.
I'm sorry to hear that the Bolt dosen't suit you.
However, it's great to hear that you like the River. :)
Have a great day!

I saw Jonathan at Latitude 64 using it so I wanted one myself. I like it alot and get quite some distance out of it.

I throw around 130-140m, and for me, the Bolt is a great under-stable utility disc. Also great for any low-arm speed players.

I don't have a very strong forehand, so I lean pretty heavily on really understable discs. One of the first shots I ever threw with my Opto orbit Bolt was a gnarly hole with 5-6 trees straight ahead, about 30' off the tee pad. For my RHBH shot, I had to throw it about 15-20 degrees to the left of the basket line to clear the trees, but the Bolt made a huge right turn, then glided all the way to the basket, nearly acing it. It's the only disc I use on that hole now.
This has become my go-to for anything requiring a huge right turn, however, the flight numbers I get are closer to 13/6/-3/1. I have a pretty fast arm, I can hit the 400' mark with a Ballista, which may have some impact on the flight path of my Bolt, but I personally get a much stronger turn with very little fade at the end.
Love it, no notes for y'all on this one.

I am a Bolt lover for over 15 years. This one is another winner. I am 63 and still getting personal bests on my distance by prefecting my form and throwing good plastic like the Bolt.

My go to for open long lines. I use to use a opto fury but it got to where I can't throw it without burning it over so i read about this disc and bought 1. 50+ feet extra on my best distance shot before it. Love it!

I had two of them earlier, threw them away. Bought 3 more online, allready lost 2. 5/5 good disc

Cabt quite seem to get the distance I thought I could. I can throw the Opto River further 🤔
R
The disc is more understable than expected, but with play it will get more stable.

So I had an old bolt in frost plastic and every so often I would get a super max distance line with it 400ft+ when my average is 350ft. Wanted to try a brand new one so chose Opto and it is so flippy. I can throw it on hyzer and still get a roller out of it. Might be a great roller disc but no giant long range S lines I was hoping for. Great color ( orange) and great service and shipping from Lat. would recommend for someone with 250-300ft of distance and expect 40+ft to your longest drive .

I think this disc will be fucking nasty once I get my form right. As it stands now I just don’t have the arm to get it to work like it’s supposed to.

I was eagerly expecting perfect throws, which I nearly accomplished, except for that GODDAMN tree that rose out of the ground as if Jesus felt like pissing on my exceptional throw. Bolt took it like a champ, ricocheted right off the GODDAMN tree and flew straight into the water and sank to the bottom. Goodbye forever, Bolt.

Love it!

I'm moving up to higher rated distance discs and the Opto Bolt is the perfect one to help improve my game!
