Speed Demon | Gateway Disc Sports · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The **Speed Demon** by Gateway Disc Sports is an overstable distance driver built for powerful throws with reliable fade. With a speed of 12, this disc is designed for players who have the arm speed to handle it and need a predictable left finish at the end of the flight. It excels in distance shots with a hard fade and controlled skip shots where the disc aggressively slides forward after landing. The Speed Demon truly shines in forehand throws when maximum power is applied and a sharp break is required. In flight, the disc combines speed 12 with glide 5 and minimal turn (-0.5) before finishing with a strong fade of 3. The flight path remains stable even at high throw speeds, resisting turn to the right. The fade kicks in early, pulling the disc back with noticeable left movement. When thrown on a low angle, the Speed Demon tends to drop quickly and cut hard into the ground. This characteristic demands precise releases but rewards players with exceptional consistency in flight behavior. The Evolution plastic provides a grippy feel, ensuring secure releases even on full-power throws. For forehand-dominant players with intermediate to advanced skill levels, the Speed Demon becomes a reliable tool for long-distance shots with a predictable fade. It’s ideal for situations where a strong left finish is desired or when skip shots offer the best approach. Backhand throws require sufficient arm speed to utilize the disc effectively. Beginners may struggle to control it, while experienced players appreciate its consistency and keep the Speed Demon in their bag for years.
