About the Chief

Chief: Gateway’s stable putt & approach

The Gateway Chief is a low-profile putt and approach disc designed for players seeking precision and comfort. With its rounded nose and beaded rim, the Chief offers excellent control, making it ideal for off-the-tee shots or approach situations that demand accuracy. Its slim profile and flat top cater to players who prefer a putter without the bulk of a deep rim, ensuring a comfortable grip and consistent release.

Described as a “low-profile Wizard,” the Chief maintains the same nose shape and bead as its popular counterpart while offering a thinner, more streamlined design. This makes it an excellent choice for players who struggle with deeper putters or want a versatile disc for both putting and throwing. Its predictable flight path and reliable stability make it suitable for a wide range of shot types.

Approved by the PDGA on January 11, 2003, the Chief is crafted with specifications including a rim depth of 1.5cm and rim thickness of 1.0cm, providing a secure and comfortable feel. Whether you’re looking for a dependable putting putter or a control-focused approach disc, the Gateway Chief is a reliable option that delivers precision and versatility.
