Slayer | Gateway Disc Sports · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Slayer" from Gateway Disc Sports operates in the high-speed segment as a distance driver with a speed rating of 13, demanding corresponding arm speed. With a glide of 5, turn of -1, and fade of 2, it covers the overstable spectrum without slipping into the utility category. It provides a reliable foundation for controlled distance throws in windy conditions or on long fairways, though it will quickly dive into the ground with insufficient power. The Evolution plastic and Diamond variants dominate the lineup, offering varying levels of grip and durability. In flight, the "Slayer" exhibits behavior reminiscent of discs like the Innova Archon or Beast, but with higher speed. The -1 turn allows for a slight flip out of hyzer when thrown with enough power, leading into a long, straight flight phase. The moderate fade of 2 ensures a predictable finish without a hard hook. It holds anhyzer lines steadily as long as arm speed is sufficient, but weaker throws will highlight its overstability, making turnovers difficult. The high-speed stability is slightly less pronounced than in extreme overstable drivers, granting the disc more versatility across different lines. For advanced players with consistent power, it serves as a workhorse for both distance and control. Backhand hyzer flips that transition to flat maximize its potential, while forehand players benefit from its stability in headwinds. Beginners will hit clear limitations—without the necessary arm speed, the "Slayer" remains overstable, delivering neither distance nor learning opportunities. Those already experienced with speed 11 or 12 drivers looking to take the next step will find this a solid option for long fairways and windy conditions.
