Ninja
The "Ninja" by Gateway is a Speed 10 Distance Driver designed for controlled distance in the fairway and technical long-range shots. With its overstable baseline, it's ideal for players seeking a reliable workhorse for flex shots and precise lines in varying wind conditions. The comfortable grip and moderate rim sharpness make it easy to handle without demanding excessive arm speed. In popular plastics like Diamond and Platinum, it offers excellent grip, with the newer version featuring a textured rim for added control. In flight, the "Ninja" combines Speed 10 with Glide 6, delivering a stable trajectory with a slight turn (-1) before settling into a controlled fade (2). Its flight characteristics resemble classic control drivers like Innova's "Orc," though with slightly more high-speed stability. On backhand throws, it holds a straight line even with strong snap, while advanced players can utilize it for flex lines—the disc takes an anhyzer angle, fights back, and finishes with a reliable fade. For rollers, the "Ninja" provides a predictable curve at the end of the roll phase due to its stability. Both forehand and backhand players will appreciate its solid distance and high control, especially in wooded fairways and technical shots. Beginners may find the "Ninja" challenging—reviews from this group rate it as less beginner-friendly, while intermediate and advanced players value its stability and reliability. If you're looking for a Distance Driver that resists turning over and doesn't require extreme arm speed, the "Ninja" is a versatile companion for mid-to-high skill levels.
