The "Assassin" by Gateway Disc Sports is a versatile fairway driver with a speed of 9, designed for controlled distance throws on straight to slightly turned lines. With a glide of 6, it stays airborne longer, making it ideal for players seeking distance without high arm speed. Its range of use includes precise fairway shots, hyzer flips, and controlled turnover lines, catering to both beginners and advanced players who need a reliable all-rounder in their bag. In flight, the "Assassin" exhibits a slight understability with a turn of -1.5 and fade of 1, though actual flight behavior varies by plastic. Evolution Diamond offers more stability than expected and resists unwanted turnovers, while Hemp Blend and Sure Grip allow for a bit more turn. At medium throwing speed, the disc drifts gently right before finishing with a subtle fade. Hyzer flips benefit from the high glide, resulting in long, flat flights, while flat releases produce controlled turnovers. Overall, the disc is slightly more stable than the flight numbers suggest, making precise line shaping easier. Suitable for both forehand and backhand throws, the "Assassin" performs best at reduced power around speeds 6 to 7, where it offers maximum control with good distance. Beginners benefit from its forgiving flight path and can achieve new distance records with moderate effort, while intermediate players use it for technical fairway shots and precise turnovers. Advanced throwers also appreciate it for controlled anhyzer lines and shots under trees. The Evolution Diamond plastic combines grip with durability, while Hemp Blend stands out for its natural feel.
