Meridian Discs Marbled Clarus Altitude

Meridian Discs Altitude 12 | 6 | -3 | 1

The Meridian Discs Altitude is an understable maximum distance driver designed to do one thing above all else: bomb. Featuring a pronounced, domey profile that traps air for an incredible 6 glide rating, this 12-speed driver maximizes distance even for players with lower or intermediate arm speeds. When you need a disc to flip up effortlessly, carry down the fairway, and hold a beautiful panning turnover line, it stands as the ultimate choice. This high-glide weapon provides a massive distance upgrade to your starting distance drivers lineup and serves as a standout addition to your growing Meridian Discs collection.

Flight Numbers

Boasting flight numbers of 12 | 6 | -3 | 1, the Altitude offers a highly workable, high-speed flight path on the course. The extreme -3 high-speed turn allows the disc to easily showcase a natural turn when thrown flat, or stand up from a hyzer angle into a flat, screaming straight push. At the tail end of its flight, the soft 1 low-speed fade ensures it finishes gently rather than dumping hard, tracking maximum forward distance down the lane.

The Altitude delivers:

• Massive Dome-Induced Glide: The elevated center profile creates elite lift, keeping the disc airborne far longer with less physical throwing exertion.
• Effortless Hyzer-Flips: Seamlessly stands up from an edge release, turning a high-angle pull into a straight-line laser down narrow fairways.
• Superior Tailwind Trajectory: The understable design cuts beautifully through tailwinds, utilizing the moving air to push your distance personal bests.

It excels at:

• Long, sweeping S-curve shots that require the disc to track far down the right side (for right-handed backhand throws) before returning smoothly.
• Max-distance field drives for intermediate and developing arms looking to break past their current distance plateaus.
• Controlled sky-turnover lines where an overstable driver would fight out and dump too early.

The Marbled Clarus Plastic Advantage

Debuting in Meridian's premium Marbled Clarus plastic, this run of the Altitude brings a stunning visual aesthetic directly to your bag. Clarus is a high-grade, translucent polymer blend known for its exceptional stiffness and robust durability, ensuring the disc holds its understable "sweet spot" for seasons without seasoning too quickly. The "Marbled" variant infuses eye-catching, ocean-like swirls right into the mold. Despite its polished and premium look, the material gives a clean, slip-free release plate in the hand, giving you total velocity confidence across changing weather conditions.

How the Altitude Fits in the Meridian Discs Lineup

• Vs the Meridian Discs Marbled Clarus Chasm: The Chasm is a stable-to-overstable 11-speed control distance driver built to resist torque and finish with a strong, dependable fade. While the Chasm handles aggressive headwind drives and heavy power flexes, the Altitude is its perfect understable counterpart—built to flip up, glide effortlessly, and push maximum distance down the right side of the lane.
• Vs the Innova Tern: While both discs share a fast, high-glide, understable profile, the Altitude features a more prominent dome out of the box. This provides a touch more airtime and an even gentler finish than a standard Tern, making it easier to keep tracking forward at lower speeds.
• Vs the Discraft Hades: The Hades offers a wide-rim understable push but can occasionally dump into a roller if given too much torque. The Altitude’s 6 glide and clean wing design allow it to ride the turn a fraction longer before its subtle 1 fade stabilizes the landing layout.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Meridian Altitude

How does the domey profile alter the way this disc flies?

The domey flight plate creates a larger volume of low pressure over the top of the disc, directly generating more aerodynamic lift. This gives the Altitude its immense 6 glide rating, allowing it to coast over long distances using the wind's natural currents rather than relying purely on sheer human power.

Is the Altitude a good fit for beginners or lower arm speeds?

Yes, absolutely. Because of its high -3 turn rating, players who struggle to get high-speed overstable drivers flat will find that the Altitude naturally resists fading early. It allows developing players to maximize their throwing distance with cleaner, smoother mechanics.

Will advanced power throwers find a use for the Altitude?

While optimized for maximum distance at average speeds, high-velocity players can utilize the Altitude as a premier long-distance roller or as a high-release sky-turnover weapon that drifts continuously downfield without ever fighting back to the left.
