Flight Numbers & Performance
The Apogee features a 2.4 cm rim width and operates on flight numbers of 12 | 5 | -2 | 1. Designed to emphasize clean mechanics and shot-shaping, it turns the speed up a notch to deliver serious yardage.
| Speed | Glide | Turn | Fade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 5 | -2 | 1 |
How the Apogee elevates your game:
- For Slower Arms & Intermediate Players: The -2 turn allows developing players to leverage their current arm speed into a true, sweeping S-curve flight rather than suffering a hard, early fade. It maximizes carry without overpowering the thrower.
- For Advanced Throwers: Out of the box, it excels at massive, long-turning distance lines and effortless hyzer-flips. For bigger arms, it serves as a phenomenal tailwind bomber or a dedicated long-distance roller.
- Smooth, Clean Power: True to the Climo Line philosophy, the Apogee emphasizes glide and shot-shaping control, letting the disc do the work for you.
A Tribute to Aerospace Engineering
The Apogee is much more than just a disc; it carries a deeply personal meaning for Ken Climo. The mold's name is a tribute to his late father, who worked as an avionics engineer at Honeywell Aerospace. In aerospace terminology, "apogee" refers to the exact point where an orbiting object reaches its maximum distance from Earth. When Climo set out to design a tool that could deliver one specific result—absolute maximum distance—the name was a perfect fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the name "Apogee" mean?
In aerospace terms, the "apogee" is the point at which an object in orbit reaches its furthest distance from Earth. Ken Climo chose the name to honor his late father, who worked as an avionics engineer at Honeywell Aerospace, perfectly representing the disc's goal of achieving absolute maximum distance.
Is the Climo Apogee a good distance driver for beginners?
While a 12-speed driver with a 2.4 cm rim typically requires significant arm speed, the Apogee's understable nature (-2 turn, 1 fade) makes it much more accessible than standard overstable bombers. It is a fantastic choice for intermediate players looking to step up to their first true maximum distance driver and achieve full S-curve flights.
How does the Apogee compare to the Skyway?
The Apogee is designed to be the faster, longer counterpart to the Skyway. While the Skyway is an 11-speed driver that focuses heavily on control, the Apogee turns the speed up to 12, demanding slightly more power but rewarding the thrower with a wider, further-pushing flight path.
