Diamond Element

5 | 5 | -1 | 1

As dependable as Daylight Savings Time every year, the Gateway Element slots into the workhorse midrange disc that every skill level can appreciate. Workable to hold the line you send it on but capable enough and loaded with high-speed torque resistance to help maintain that point-and-shoot lifestyle, this Element paired with some one-of-a-kind artwork
is poised to stay in the bag until the season ends. Art work by Chris Dyer.

 

Diamond Hemp Journey

11.5 | 6 | -2 | 1

The Journey has long been a staple of the Gateway driver lineup and offers something that everyone can enjoy; new players can look forward to a long and floaty drive that delivers a solid finish while seasoned arms achieve easy hyzer-flips and long, full flights ending with effortless forward-pushes. Paired with our unique and durable Diamond Hemp Blend and some truly impressive artwork, this Journey is ready to take you and your game to new places.

Proto #124

As Gateway Disc Sports continues to pursue the next big disc or blend, we create plenty of prototypes along the way which help provide feedback for us to use and change molds and plastics for the best outcome we can manage. Here we have one of the latest distance driver prototypes currently undergoing in-house testing, the 124. Originally crafted to be the less-stable sibling to the Realm and Spell, we see a very workable disc with an easy turnover ability and long, full flights for all arm speeds. Feel free to let us know what you think about it on our Instagram or Facebook page and look for other prototypes released all the time! Only Premier+ members received Proto #124.

Features the Hemp Warspear, HD Spear and Apex+

Suregrip Hemp Warspear 

3 | 3 | 0 | 2

Cupid delivers true love in the form of reliability with our popular approach disc and Premier members have access to it in our tried-and-true Hemp blend first! The Warspear delivers the point-and-shoot accuracy you need from your approach slot and retains enough torque-resistance to handle everything from teepad drives to powerful forehand flicks while maintaining minimal ground play so you can always feel confident running the chains.

 

Hyper Diamond Spear

9 | 6 | -2 | 1

One of the farthest-flying and most versatile 9-speed discs on the market, the Spear shows why it’s one of our top-sellers and most bagged molds right out of the box. Lower arm-speeds will see straight and floating drives while more powerful throws easily achieve long, panning flights and can even turn into an extremely capable roller. Our tested HD blend keeps the profile low to fit into any hand or grip while also enduring severe use without degrading or losing its flight pattern.
The understand reads -1.5 this is due to the red colorant but also debateable. Lets us know what you think in the facebook group. 

Diamond APEX

11.5 | 6 | -1 | 1.5

Essentially the ‘big brother’ to our Journey, the Apex is a great entry-level high-speed distance driver. With a medium rim-depth and moderate high-speed turn resistance, any level of player can find success with its ability to take on long, full flights with endless glide and a fading-forward finish you can count on to keep you on the green at all times. Paired with our traditional and enduring Diamond Blend, you have a disc that can be used in almost any situation and the durability to handle it.  
Everyone also received a White Platinum Lil Wizard. 

How do I apply a transfer sticker?

To apply a transfer sticker, remove it from the paper backing by peeling away the transfer tape. The tape will hold the individual pieces of your sticker design in place while you position it on your desired surface. Once your sticker is positioned correctly you can press the transfer tape onto a surface to adhere it. Next use a credit card to apply pressure to the entire design to make sure it’s fully adhered. Finally, slowly peel the transfer tape away at a 180 degree angle to leave the sticker adhered.

If your design is especially delicate, let it sit for 24 hours before removing the transfer tape. This gives your sticker time to adhere more strongly to the surface and makes it easier to remove the tape while leaving the design intact.  Need more instructions? Watch this Video.

Features Animated Illusions

Cobalt Illusion 

12 | 5 | -0.5 | 2.5

One of Gateways most iconic control drivers, the Illusion provides fade and finish you can rely on, packed into a sleek profile that makes it ideal for power-forehands and fan-griped control shots off the teepad or from the fairway. Paired with our new Cobalt blend to give that deep blue color and squishy grip, this disc is sure to start your new year right.

Mystic Diamond

An under-stable workhorse that floats wherever you aim it, the Mystic continues to be the go-to for anybody looking for a mid-range that compliments beginners, creates long, sweeping turns and makes hyzer-flipping your new favorite hobby. Paired up with our durable Diamond blend you have a disc that stays true to the numbers and keeps your confidence high.

Voodoo SSSs

5.5 | 5 | -3 | 0
One of the best on the market, the Voodoo has gained popularity through its sustainable use from circle two or as a lay-up option from the rough. Combining the versatility of its effortless neutrality with our extra-soft SSSS blend, you can expect the best grip on your card with minimal ground play and point-and-shoot accuracy. 

Over Mold Assassin

Aka Prototype 93
Created in the yester-years of disc golf, this prototype came during an age when overmold technology was still in its infancy. Never officially released, this disc was originally cast in the shadow of the Gateway Assassin to mimic its profile and feel but have the customizable aspects of using two different materials to drastically change the flight and stability; some combinations being aggressive and stable while others are cut-rollers out of the box.

Superglow Retro Warlock Set

Happy Holidays!

This box includes a pair of Superglow “Retro” Warlocks, a Diamond Metal Flake Prophecy, and Premier + Members received the brand new Diamond Metal Flake Superglow Assassin. Read more about these discs below.

The “Retro” Warlock

We turned the clocks back on our putters and are reintroducing the classic profiles for that original Gateway feel! Sitting a little shorter and a bit more shallow than the current iteration, our Retro series helps bridge the gap between putters and approach discs by being just a tick faster and fitting like a warm glove in your hands. Our Superglow formula helps make sure you can find this disc even after the end of Daylight Savings and stay in your bag for seasons to come.

 

Prophecy – Diamond Metal Flake

Flight Numbers: 5 | 5 | 0 | 2

A workhorse of all sorts, the Prophecy remains one of our most workable mid-range discs. With low-power shots achieving a steady fade and finish, power shots will see a long straight flight path with a strong push forward finish and in combination with our durable Diamond blend, a long-lasting lifespan staying true to the numbers for months.

 

Assassin – Superglow Metal Flake

Flight Numbers: 9 | 6 | -1.5 | 1

One of the farthest flying 9 speed discs on the market, the Assassin provides the neutrality needed for ultimate control with your fairway game or off the pad. Our Diamond blend offers the perfect amount of dome and grip while the Superglow addition helps light the way at night and stays brighter than most other types available. 

November’s Premier Box

The Realm & Ether

Our farthest
flying drivers yet.

This box includes an NXT Realm, Diamond Ether, with special edition artwork and a limited edition 3 disc Lightweight Starter Set. Don’t forget to use your 20% off discount code on your next gatewaydiscsports.com purchase before it expires.

Realm:

Flight Numbers: 12 | 5 |  -1  | 3
The Realm is one of our latest driver prototypes that has been recently PDGA approved! Similar to the Ether, one of the best distance driver molds ever created by Gateway and will be a game changer for anyone looking to throw a full GDS bag.
Similar to a Destroyer, Cloudbreaker, Force, and Emperor the Realm has unmatched glide in this slot while also maintaining resistance to turn making this the ultimate max distance driver for even the biggest arms in the world. This is a must buy for power throwers both forehand and backhand.
NXT (Nylon Xtra Tuff) is a prototype material developed in collaboration with the fine crew at NYCO. This is made with the most durable plastic blend on the market, and it is only available at Gateway Disc Sports. 

Ether:

Flight Numbers: 12 | 6 |  -1  | 2

This is one of our latest driver prototypes that has been recently PDGA approved! This is no doubt one of the best distance driver molds ever created by Gateway and will be a game changer for anyone looking to throw a full GDS bag.

Similar to a DD3, Wraith, Zeus, Scorpius these have tremendous distance potential and torque resistance while also featuring an incredible amount of glide for max distance shots.

NXT (Nylon Xtra Tuff) is a prototype material developed in collaboration with the fine crew at NYCO. This is made with the most durable plastic blend on the market, and it is only available at Gateway Disc Sports.

Both the Realm and the Ether have a deeper rim than some of our previous distance drivers and feel absolutely amazing in the hand. The glide on both of these molds get me farther up the fairway than my destroyers have in years past. I’m so excited for what 2024 is going to bring with these two new staples in my bag.

- Cory F

Team G Platinum Captain, Gateway Disc Sports

“The Realm will immediately replace my overstable 12 speed slot (Destroyer, stable Wraith) and is great for anyone with a high arm speed, or power sidearm. The Ether is an absolute bomber, and will replace my max distance flip up 12 speed driver (beat in Wraith, Grace, or Nuke) Both of the discs are incredible, and I couldn’t be more excited for what’s to come at Gateway.”

- Alex S.

Team G Platinum Player & Sales Agent, Gateway Disc Sports

“The Realm is version 4 of our resent prototypes developed from the Spell. The Realm has more lift, which could be helpful with forced over nose down flex shots if you do that with the Ether and have the right nose angle and power; it doesn’t come out as quickly because of the longer mid-flight glide.”

October’s Premier Box

The Airstrike & Warrior

Happy Halloween and thanks for being a Premier Member!

This box includes the Airstrike and Warrior themed for the Halloween Season. Premier Plus members also received a limited edition Disc in the Dark 4S Superglow Wizard. Plus everyone got a mini marker set with a Gateway sticker. Don’t forget to use your 20% off discount code on your next gatewaydiscsports.com purchase before it expires.

‘Airstrike’ Prototype

In tandem with other prototypes like the Cyborg and Morningstar, the Airstrike is the fastest and farthest-flying of the bunch with the high-speed turn and finish to help strafe the fairway with ease. Internal reviews suggest a rating of 13/5/-2.5/1 and great for all arm speeds. Capable of riding tailwinds or hyzer-flipping to long, sailing turnovers, the Airstrike prototype is a disc we are contemplating adding to the GDS lineup so keep an eye out for future updates!

“The airstrike is a 12-13 speed  under stable long range driver with lots of glide.  Don’t let the wide rim scare you off. This disc is very easy to turn over and with so much glide it can still be a great beginners or for  Hyzer flip shots in the woods.”

Owner & Developer, Gateway Disc Sports

Suregrip Warrior

Flight Numbers: 5 | 4 | 0 | 3
A staple of every GDS players bag, the Warrior is our torque-resistant midrange that flies true in any condition with a dependable fade that you can trust for both backhand shots and forehand flicks. Combined with another stellar piece of art from the mind of James Zimmerman, this combo is a Halloween classic.

Suregrip SSSS Superglow Wizard

Flight Numbers: 2 | 3 | 0 | 2
A putter that is as familiar and established as a round is long, the Wizard needs very little introduction as most are wildly familiar with its ideal stability and feel in the hand. We figured what better way to help prepare for the colder days than make some in the grippiest 4S plastic ever and combined with our bright superglow formula, those cold nights as well! We’ve partnered with Disc in the Dark to help promote their own release this month so be sure to check them out for your glow needs this season!
