Gatekeeper Flight Path for Beginners

Flight Numbers Explained for Intermediate Players

Intermediate throwers begin to unlock the Gatekeeper’s true straight-to-stable flight. With moderate power, it flies flat with minimal turn before finishing with a smooth, controlled fade. This makes it excellent for tunnel shots, shaping lines in the woods, and dependable midrange approaches that must avoid late movement.

Advanced & Pro-Level Flight Characteristics

Advanced players will appreciate the Gatekeeper’s torque resistance, accuracy, and workable stability. It can be thrown hard without flipping, maintains laser-straight flights, and finishes with a dependable fade that does not dump early. In premium plastics, many reviewers praise its ability to handle power while staying on-line, making it a staple midrange for technical fairways.

Forehand Flight Path

The Gatekeeper performs surprisingly well forehand thanks to its clean rim and steady, torque-resistant profile.
