Gateway Apex Flight Chart
The Gateway Apex is a high-speed distance driver with flight numbers of 12 | 6 | -1 | 2. Designed for long, straight drives with plenty of glide and a moderate fade, it fills the role of a workhorse driver for players who have the arm speed to push a Speed 12 mold. In premium Gateway plastics, the Apex offers durability, grip, and a consistent flight path for both backhand and forehand throwers.
Apex Flight Path for Beginners
For newer players, the Apex will often fly more overstable than the flight numbers suggest. Without enough arm speed, expect a shorter flight that pushes forward briefly before finishing with a strong fade. Beginners are usually better served treating the Apex as a wind-fighting or utility driver rather than a max-distance option.
Flight Chart for Intermediate Players
Intermediate players with decent power can start to see the designed Apex flight path. Thrown flat, it will show a touch of high-speed turn, ride its glide, and then finish with a reliable but not extreme fade. It works well for controlled distance lines, long hyzers, and drives where you want both distance and accuracy.
Flight Numbers for Advanced and Pro Players
Advanced and professional players will get the full benefit of the Apex’s 12 | 6 | -1 | 2 flight numbers. At higher release speeds, it holds a stable-to-slight-turning line with excellent glide before a clean, forward-penetrating fade. This makes it a strong choice for long fairway carries, shaping lines in light wind, and pushing controlled distance without the harsh dump of very overstable drivers.
Forehand Flight Path and Utility Lines
The Apex’s wide rim and moderate fade give it solid forehand potential for players with clean form. On forehand lines, it resists turning too hard, glides forward, and finishes predictably. It’s especially useful for flex forehands, forced-over shots that need to fight back, and long forehand drives where you still want some workable turn.

Try the Gateway Apex
The Gateway Apex is built as a straight-to-stable distance driver with lots of glide and a dependable finish. It’s a strong fit for intermediate and advanced players who want a primary driver that can cover long tee shots, controlled fairway bombs, and flex lines without excessive fade.
Puttheads Notes
The Apex sits in that sweet spot of fast, glidey, and not overly dumpy at the end of the flight. It behaves like a workable high-speed driver rather than a pure meat hook, which makes it a strong candidate for a main distance driver in many bags.
