Gateway Samurai Flight Chart
The Gateway Samurai is a fast, workable distance driver with flight numbers of 12.5 | 5 | -2 | 1. Sitting in the stable-to-slightly-understable slot, it pairs easy turn with a gentle finish, yielding long S-curves for a wide range of powers. In premium blends (Platinum, Evolution, Diamond), the Samurai keeps its bite longer; in Sure Grip it beats into a buttery hyzer-flip machine.
Beginner Lines and First Distance
For newer arms, the Samurai will start out more stable. Expect a straight push and a dependable fade. Lighter weights or baseline plastic help unlock flight path confidence without overpowering the disc.
Flight Chart Notes for Intermediates
At moderate power, you’ll see effortless hyzer flips, gentle turnovers, and straight lasers that finish soft. The glide lets you cover distance without forcing the throw—great for low-ceiling fairways and shaping through gaps.
Flight Numbers at Advanced Power
Power throwers can lean on the Samurai for controlled distance: a touch of high-speed turn that holds before a late, reliable check-up. It’s a go-to for long flex lines, tailwind bombs, and stand-up shots that need to stay on axis.
Forehand Control and Utility
Forehanders will appreciate the comfortable rim and torque tolerance. Smooth sidearms produce flat rides with a gentle finish; power flicks can carve flexible S-curves or set controlled rollers when needed.
