Style: Stable Workhorse Distance Driver
Plastic: Diamond (Premium Durability & Firm Grip)
The Gateway Realm is a top-tier distance driver, often regarded as one of Gateway's best molds. It fills the crucial "stable bomber" slot in any Gateway-centric disc golf bag, offering exceptional glide for a 12-speed disc and remarkable resistance to turn. It can compete with popular discs like the Destroyer, Cloudbreaker, Force, and Emperor, making it a max-distance driver suitable for even the most powerful throwers.
Molded in Gateway's signature Diamond plastic, the Realm offers excellent durability and grip. This high-grade, scuff-resistant plastic typically results in a slightly more stable disc than those molded in Platinum plastic. This makes the Diamond Realm an ideal choice for power throwers who need a disc that can withstand tree hits and headwinds without compromising its flight characteristics.
Why You Need It:
- The "Destroyer" Slot: If you appreciate the flight of a Destroyer or Force but desire better plastic quality or superior glide, the Realm is an excellent alternative.
- Diamond Durability: The Diamond plastic is engineered to endure high-velocity impacts without warping, ensuring your primary driver maintains consistency season after season.
- Torque Resistance: The Realm can handle high velocity with ease, resisting turning and burning whether you have a powerful forehand or backhand throw.
- Dual-Threat Utility: It's uncommon to find a 12-speed driver that performs and feels equally well for both sidearm and backhand grips.
Best For:
- Power Throwers: An essential disc for players who require a primary distance driver that can handle maximum power without undesirable rollover.
- Forehand Players: Its stability and rim width make it perfectly suited for managing off-axis torque during sidearm flicks.
- Wooded Courses: The superior durability of Diamond plastic makes this disc a safer choice for throws in wooded environments compared to base plastics.
