The Ultimate Fairway Workhorse
The Explorer was developed to be the straightest fairway driver on the market, and the Opto Air version brings that championship-winning consistency to a wider range of players. By distributing weight through our micro-bubble process, we’ve maintained the disc's structural stability while reducing the total mass. For players aiming at targets between 80m / 260ft and 110m / 360ft, the Opto Air Explorer offers the confidence to throw hard without fear of the disc turning over prematurely.
Controlled Distance for All
Accuracy is the hallmark of the Explorer. Whether you are navigating a tight wooded gap or playing a controlled placement shot on an open field, this disc reacts to your throw with surgical precision. Because it is PDGA Approved, it is a vital tool for tournament players who need a lightweight fairway driver that won't compromise on stability. The Opto Air plastic ensures that even at a lower weight, the disc feels premium in the hand and stands up to the rigors of competitive play.

Reviews / Q&A
Don't just take our word for it..
Customers praised this lightweight disc for its speed and predictability. Reviewers said it "comes out of my hand so fast" and is "very predictable" for slower arm speeds. One customer gained 5-10m in distance, calling it "very underrated." All reviews gave 5-star ratings, with customers loving the feeling and smooth performance.
- Smooth and fast. I love the way these light weight discs come out of my hand. So fast.
- Very predictable disc for me with my slower arm speed.
- I have gained about 5-10m in distance with the Opto Air Explorer (165g).
If I have only one disc to play a round it's likely the river, my favorite disc.
Love your opto air drivers... they fly straight and far for me!
Hey Paul,
Thank you for your review. I'm happy to hear that you like the opto air drivers!
And wow, that's an impressive disc collection you have there. :)

Bought as a distance driver for low speed hand beginner. Her favorite disc so far. Natural s-curve with minimal effort - for higher speeds keeps turning and turning. Quite soft with very nice feeling.
Bought as a distance/approach for low speed beginner in 145-149g. Still testing but quality and grip is more than good. Pretty deep, definitely on the understable side.
Definitely one of my lighter discs but flies pretty true and the wind in North Dakota doesn't effect it much more than my 170ish discs. High quality plastic and reliable mold.
My wife and I love these discs flies just as advertised. All their discs are the best and the plastics are perfect. I guess you could say that I have a latitude attitude!!!!!
My first Opto air disc and I love the feeling 😉
Great disc works perfect for me.
received the wrong disc and sent a request to exchange but, have not been notified for a return label ?
Hi Joseph,
Thank you for the review.
I'm so sorry to hear this. I have asked my colleague in the US to look into this and reach out to you as soon as possible.
Best regards, Frida.
At age 75, Sapphire (opto) has been my preferred distance driver. I’ve begun using opto airs and can confirm I get my best distance with the opto air plastic.
今までの中で気持ちよく距離が出るdiscです
これでホールインワンを狙います
At 73 years of age I finally have a driver I can use. 220-240 is a long throw for me and the River is delivering success. Appreciating the increased fairway percentage as well. Still learning and improving and looking for that first 250 👍🏻
Great disc. Flies straight for me.
this disc is perfect for learning driving, because it shows directly your progress in nose and hyzer angle, if it flies straight or turns directly
Lost one.. so need a new nice one..perfect as always
Riktigt understabil disc och flyger fint
I love the Opto air plastic. Easy to throw, reliable, and very tough. I smashed a few into a tree (on purpose of course ... not) and not even a scratch. I love the fuse, I tend to use it a lot.
perfectndisc for me for long anhyzers
Great disc for me. Love it. Actually love all my Latitude 64s.. Fuse, Jade, Fury, Grace, Compass, Pure. I have two of most of them in case I lose one.
The Opto air River was my first Opto Air disc now I have almost all of the Opto Air line in my bag, having a lower arm speed due to a foot injury ( I have to wear a full size off loading boot to play) these discs give me some extra distance and are great to build arm speed and learn how to throw better. The plastic is just as good if not better than the normal Opto, Thanks to the Latitude 64 team for making these fantastic mid weight discs and for the videos teaching proper grips and lessons they have helped me to play evn with my disability. Keep up the great Job.
Hello Greg,
Thank you so much for your review.
I'm really happy to hear that you enjoy playing disc golf with the Opto Air discs.
Have a great day!
/Frida
I'm a beginner and find the Jade Opto Air to be easy to use. Regardless of how I through this disc it always seems to consistently fly steady, with few exceptions and then only because of my poor technique.
Får långa kast med River passar min kast arm bra !
Love the opto air!!
Opto Air Diamond
