Meridian Discs Marbled Slate Altitude

Meridian Discs Marbled Slate Altitude 12 | 6 | -3 | 1

The Marbled Slate Altitude is Meridian's understable, high-glide distance driver in their grippier, gummier Marbled Slate plastic. The domey profile traps air for a 6 glide, so it flips up, carries down the fairway and holds a long turnover line without having to throw it as hard.

Flight Numbers

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.

The Altitude delivers:

• 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.

It excels at:

• Long S-curve shots that track down the right side (for right-handed backhand throws) before coming back
• Max-distance drives for intermediate and developing arm speeds
• Controlled turnover lines where an overstable driver would fade out too early

The Marbled Slate Plastic Advantage

Marbled Slate is a new plastic from Meridian with a slightly grippier, gummier feel than their firmer premium blends. It also features a bold two-color kaleidoscope burst pattern, giving each disc a unique look while keeping it comfortable and confident in the hand. Because of the Altitude's dome, some discs in this run may have a little stamp dropout. It's cosmetic only and won't affect the flight.

How the Altitude Fits in the Meridian Lineup

• Vs the Marbled Clarus Altitude: Same mold and flight numbers in firm, translucent Marbled Clarus plastic that holds its flight the longest.
• Vs the Meridian Chasm: The Chasm (11 | 5 | -1 | 3) is a stable to overstable distance driver built to handle torque and finish with a strong fade. The Altitude is its understable counterpart, built to flip up, glide and push max distance.
• Vs the Meridian Rip Current: The Rip Current is Meridian's understable fairway driver. It's slower and easier to control, and the Altitude gives you that same easy turn with a lot more distance.
• Vs the Innova Tern: Both share a fast, high-glide, understable profile, but the Altitude has more dome out of the box. That gives it a touch more airtime and an even gentler finish, so it keeps tracking forward at lower speeds.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Meridian Marbled Slate Altitude

How does Marbled Slate change the Altitude?

Marbled Slate is grippier and a little gummier than Marbled Clarus plastic, so it gives you a secure hold on big drives and in cold or damp weather. The flight is the same understable, high-glide Altitude.

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.

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

Yes. Because of its -3 turn, players who can't get faster overstable drivers to fly flat will find the Altitude doesn't fade out early. It helps developing players get more distance with smoother form.
