Meridian Altitude
The Complete Meridian Altitude Collection Hub
The Altitude is Meridian's understable, high-glide distance driver. Its domey profile and 6 glide make it easy to get distance without having to throw it as hard, so it's perfect for hyzer flips, long turnovers and newer players looking for more distance.

Understanding the Flight Dynamics
Boasting flight numbers of 12 | 6 | -3 | 1, the Altitude offers a highly workable, high-speed flight. The -3 turn lets it turn over when thrown flat, or stand up from a hyzer angle into a flat, straight push. At the end of its flight, the soft 1 fade lets it finish gently rather than dumping hard. It's 21.1 cm across and 1.7 cm tall with a 1.1 cm rim depth and a 2.3 cm rim width, with a noticeable dome that adds a lot of glide.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 6 | -3 | 1 |
What the Altitude brings to your bag:
- Dome-Induced Glide: The domey profile keeps the disc in the air longer without having to throw it as hard.
- Easy Hyzer Flips: It stands up from a hyzer release and turns a high-angle pull into a straight line down narrow fairways.
- Tailwind Distance: The understable design rides tailwinds really well, helping you push your distance.
Choose the Right Altitude Plastic
Each plastic and run offers a different feel and look. Compare your options:
- Marbled Clarus Altitude - Firm, translucent Marbled Clarus plastic that holds its flight the longest.
- Marbled Slate Altitude - Grippier, gummier Marbled Slate plastic with a two-color burst.
How the Altitude Plays on the Course
The Altitude fills the understable distance driver slot. Throw it on a hyzer and it flips up flat and glides, throw it flat and it turns over, and it rides tailwinds really well. Power throwers can use it for long turnovers and rollers, while slower arm speeds get a straighter max-distance driver.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Meridian Altitude
Which Altitude plastic should I get?
Marbled Clarus is firm and holds the Altitude's flight the longest. Marbled Slate is grippier and a little gummy, so it gives you a more secure hold on big drives and in cold weather.
Who should throw the Altitude?
Newer players and slower arm speeds who want easy distance, plus power throwers who want a long turnover or roller disc.
How does the domey profile change the way the Altitude flies?
The dome creates more lift over the top of the disc, which gives the Altitude its 6 glide. It floats a long way without relying on raw power.
