Before premium plastic was introduced in the early 2000's players had bags full of baseline. You would typically have multiples of the same mold: a beat up version, a slightly beat version and then a freshie. This allowed you to cover all the shots needed and have a backup or two in case you squared up a tree. It was just a part of the game you had to be prepared for.

When the time came to talk about his next disc, Climo knew exactly what he wanted. His request for the 6th mold in the Climo Disc Golf lineup was simple. He was looking for the following:

• A slightly faster mid range to pair with the Belleair

• Torque resistant, but not too overstable

• Excellent glide

• A slight dome

Some say it is better to give than receive and we tend to agree. This is why for Ken's birthday we're giving every Climo Disc Golf newsletter subscriber $5 to spend on the official Climo Disc Golf Store.

Ken Climo, also known as The Champ, has been playing disc golf and frisbee (catch) at Cliff Stephens park in his hometown of Clearwater, FL since he was a kid. Climo estimates that before the course was installed in 1986 that he had already logged thousands of throws in the park. From childhood, through his entire career and to this very day, Cliff Stephens has been the "Home of the Champ".

Climo Disc Golf and GRIPeq are proud to introduce the Ken Climo Signature Series ATS. GRIPeq signed Climo, a 12-time World Champion, to the GRIPeq Legends Team in 2025. This March 4th, the pair will debut Climo’s first ever signature bag.

Leading up to January of 2025, there was plenty of speculation about what Ken Climo’s next chapter might look like. When the curtain finally lifted, the answer was clear. A partnership with Discraft to honor Climo and the incredible legacy he forged during his multi-decade professional playing career.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from The Champ and everyone at Climo Disc Golf. Holiday hours and shipping expectations have been updated.

The Streak is the 5th mold in the Climo Disc Golf lineup. When the Prototype Streak released in late August, it perfectly filled the first fairway slot in the Climo lineup with its neutral flight numbers of 7|5|0|1. On November 19th the Streak collection grows with the release of the Signature and Major Line Streak. 

Ken Climo was inducted in to the Disc Golf Hall of Fame at only 27 years of age. 

This is the legend of the Iron Leaf.
