Apex Height

The maximum height the ball reaches during its flight, measured in feet or yards from the ground. Apex height is determined by launch angle, ball speed, and spin rate.

Apex matters indoors because it affects how a shot behaves when it hits the impact screen — high-apex shots strike the screen at a steeper angle and concentrate force in a smaller area. It also matters for course management on the real course: a higher apex stops faster on greens, while a lower apex holds up better in wind.

Tour-average driver apex is roughly 90–110 feet. A scratch amateur is usually 75–95 feet.
