Javelin | Gateway Disc Sports · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Javelin" by Gateway Disc Sports is a distance driver designed for maximum distance with a controllable flight path. With a speed rating of 13, this disc is aimed at throwers who can generate high arm speed and seek a reliably overstable flight for long distances. It excels in situations requiring both length and predictability—such as headwinds or when targeting precise landing zones on long fairways. In flight, the "Javelin" demonstrates consistently stable behavior. Its glide rating of 5 provides sufficient lift during the mid-flight phase, while a turn of 0 means the disc resists drifting right even on powerful throws. A fade of 3 ensures a strong left finish, reliably concluding the flight path. This combination of stability and moderate glide makes the disc particularly predictable when consistent flight shapes are needed. For hyzer throws, the "Javelin" delivers a predictable path with a strong finish, while flat releases or slight anhyzers are quickly corrected by its overstability. Forehand throws benefit from its resistance to unwanted turn. This disc is best suited for experienced players with a skill level of 5, who can execute clean throws at high speeds and utilize its stability effectively. For throwers with lower arm speed, the "Javelin" tends to be too resistant and won’t reach its full potential.
