The Gateway Warrior is a versatile midrange disc, combining glide, control, and reliability. Designed as a faster, more overstable counterpart to the Element, the Warrior handles greater power and excels at long upshots, hyzer approaches, and light headwind throws. With excellent glide and a dependable fade, it is a trusted choice for precision and versatility on the course.
A newer version of the Warrior was approved on April 9, 2010, features a larger diameter (22.0cm vs. 21.0cm), a flatter profile, and increased speed compared to the original 1999 release. These updates enhance torque resistance and modernize the feel, making it more effective for power throws and controlled flights. The older version, while still reliable, offered a smaller diameter and a less overstable flight, catering to a different style of play.
With a rim depth of 1.2cm and a rim thickness of 1.4cm, the new Warrior delivers a comfortable grip and superior performance. As the most overstable midrange in Gateway’s lineup, it’s ideal for carving technical lines, navigating windy conditions, and ensuring reliable finishes. The Gateway Warrior is a must-have for players seeking power and precision in a midrange disc.
How much the Warrior turns and fades depends on how hard it is thrown. These three shapes are drawn from the manufacturer’s numbers, not from measured throws.
Measured by the PDGA when the Warrior was certified. Each card names discs that share the number, so you can feel it in the hand.
