Max height (apex) is the highest point the ball reaches during flight, measured in feet from ground level. Apex is a key indicator of trajectory shape and is critical for hitting greens that require a steep landing angle to hold. Elite ball strikers can control their apex — flighting irons down in wind or hitting towering high cuts to soft greens.
Apex tells you how steeply the ball will land, which determines whether it stops on the green or rolls off the back. Tour players tour-fit their irons to land at specific apex heights for predictable green-holding behavior.
TrackMan iO captures the entire 3D ball trajectory including apex height to within ±2 feet. This is true measured data, not estimated from impact conditions.
