Disc Spotlight - Climo Discs Belleair
Jon Jones
The Climo Discs Belleair is a straight, stable 5-speed beaded midrange built for clean control and effortless placement. It shines on laser-straight midrange lines, tight fairway shots, and controlled approaches that finish softly. It also works well for forehand and backhand when you want a mid that stays honest.

What the Belleair Is Designed to Do
The Climo Discs Belleair is designed as a dependable "workhorse" midrange. It holds the line you put it on and finishes with a gentle, forward fade. The beaded rim gives it a classic midrange feel and a confident release.
If you want a mid that sits between modern point-and-shoot mids and classic beaded molds, the Belleair fits that slot.
How the Belleair Flies (By Power Level)
~200–260 ft
Straight flight with a reliable fade finish. Great for approaches and controlled tee shots that must land in-bounds.
~260–320 ft
Long straight push with a late, gentle fade. Excellent for tight fairways and "hit the gap" midrange lines.
320+ ft
Holds straight longer with less visible fade. Seasoned ones can fly very neutral with a clean, forward finish.
Best Uses for the Belleair
- Straight fairway control (signature shot) — Throw it flat and let it cruise. It stays on line with minimal drift and a calm finish. This is the mid you lean on when accuracy matters more than flair.
- Tight gaps and placement tee shots — The Belleair excels when the fairway is narrow. It's predictable and doesn't demand full power to hold shape.
- Gentle hyzers and finishing approaches — Put it on a small hyzer angle and trust it. It finishes reliably without dumping hard or skipping wildly.
- Torque-resistant midrange approaches — When understable mids want to turn, the Belleair stays composed. Great for controlled forehands and confident backhand upshots.
