[Gateway] gateway discs?

[innovachamp09]

what gateway discs compare to a destroyer?

What gateway discs compare to an eagle?

What gateway discs compare to a roc?

What gateway discs compare to a dx aviar?

I'm wondering because i throw all innova but i heard that gateway is for experienced power players so i want to give it a try

I'm pretty inexperienced but I would use this to see what's similar: Marshall Street Flight Guide, there are some others at Gottagogottathrow.com and primediscs.com but I find this one the easiest to read and interpret.

thnx

Those flight charts don't really tell you much. The element is nothing like a Roc and would be "closest" to it. The element has no glide and drops like a brick...I like it, but it is not a roc or a buzzz.

Aviar, try any one of their putters, Wizard most likely in soft would be closest...you probably would never go back.

Alot of Gateway Power Players used Innova for their big bombs

The sabre would probably compare to the eagle...but the Sabre is a far superior disc. I would argue there is no straighter flying disc out there. Just simply by the speed of the disc, the Diablo is probably the closest thing to a Destroyer...

The Gateway putters are in a league of their own in my opinion...

thanks for the help but do those dimples on the rim make a difference in flight

 

[Ryan P.]

Yes, the dimples sure do make a difference. They help the disc retain the speed that it is going, and it stays faster for longer. Once you are able to throw those discs at their designed speed the correct way, you'll really notice it.

The Savage could be a close match or an illusion but even Nikko throws destroyers and wraiths.

What gateway discs compare to a destroyer? E Blurr

What gateway discs compare to an eagle? S Blaze

What gateway discs compare to a roc? E Warrior

What gateway discs compare to a dx aviar? Warlock


These are the most comparable disc I think you would find, but no disc is the same and both companies have unique characteristics for each of there models. The blaze will be more overstable then an eagle, but I recomend the S plastic since it will beat up faster. Out of the box it would be more like a hybrid, but those are no longer being made, so its Sabre or Blaze, and a Sabre is more along the lines of straighter teebird. Also, the E Warrior will be more like a champion roc, but has a little more glide. Nice overstable mid.

False. Yes, everybody knows Nikko carries destroyers, thats great since he likes them, but remember Garrett Gurthie threw the Illusion to win the 07 distance title, and alot of the current gateway team carries all gateway.

thanks, ill try these suggestions.

HPP Warrior is a great mid range. nice alternative to a Roc.

 

[garublador]

IMO, Gateway doesn't have a disc comparable to the Eagle if you can't count the Hybrid. Sabres and Blazes are too slow to be a good comparison. Gateway actually has a pretty large jump in speed between the Sabre/Blaze and Assassin.

Hybrid's are discontinued.

 

[STSgoalie]

Hybrid's are discontinued.

Yes, but you can still manage to find them. I never use mine though, to much overlap between having a sabre, hybrid and 2 blazes. But that is why they were discontinued though. Still a very good quality disc if you dont have all three, but I prefer blazes into a head wind anyday

 

[billnchristy]

I had a Hybrid and liked it but it flew like the striker to me.

Also, the E Warrior will be more like a champion roc, but has a little more glide. Nice overstable mid.

No way, that thing has no glide AT ALL!!!!

 

[billnchristy]

Yeah if it is anything like the Element it goes up and comes down...plop.

Get a wizard in Super Soft (SS) or Super Stupid Soft (SSS). I would personally recommend the SSS...if you are used to Aviars, these stick to the chains so much better. Plus, the stable flight is perfect for the wind
