Chief | Gateway Disc Sports · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Chief" from Gateway Disc Sports is an overstable putter with a flat profile and a bead rim, making it especially suited for precise upshots and controlled approaches. With a speed of 3, glide of 3, turn of 0, and fade of 1, it covers the spectrum between straight flight and reliable finish. The flat top and shallow depth make it a top choice for players with smaller hands or a preference for slim putter profiles. Popular plastic options include Diamond, Sure Grip, and Hyper Diamond, with Diamond standing out for its excellent grip and comfortable stiffness. In flight, the "Chief" exhibits a stable, straight trajectory that resists turning over even on powerful throws. The moderate glide of 3 ensures controlled distances without excessive float, while the fade of 1 provides a gentle, predictable finish at the end of the line. This combination makes it ideal for upshots in the mid-range, where precision matters more than maximum distance. The low profile reduces drag and allows for a clean release, offering advantages in low tunnel shots or flat approaches to the basket. For putting and approach shots, the "Chief" delivers a reliable platform across various skill levels. Beginners benefit from its forgiveness and straight flight, while advanced players can use it for precise hyzer and anhyzer lines. The flat shape sits comfortably in the hand and ensures a consistent release for both backhand and forehand throws. As a versatile putter, it works equally well for mid-range putting and as a dependable thrower when straight lines with controlled fade are needed.
