    The Apache is a fairly straight and smooth flying control driver.  It's one of the straighter 9/10 speed drivers that I have thrown, with pretty good distance potential and a mellow amount of fade.  I have one in diamond plastic, it's pearly and feels very durable, but also feels very stiff and a little on the slick side.  It has a moderate dome.

    I don't quite agree with the flight numbers, though of course it may vary depending on the plastic.  In diamond plastic I would give the Apache flight numbers of 9/5/-.5/2.  Gateway calls it a 10 speed but it doesn't fly farther/faster than any of my 9 speeds.  I suppose the rim feels a little wider than most 9 speeds.  When thrown with a little bit of hyzer the disc will flip up to flat and go straight for a while, before finishing with a very mild fade.  It will hold an anhyzer line for most of the flight, and is not stable enough to fight out of most flex shots.

    My main complaint with the disc is that I really do not like the hand feel.  This batch of diamond is very stiff and doesn't have the best grip.  Also the disc is kind of odd feeling to me, it feels pretty deep with a wide rim, and the tall shoulder/dome make gripping it feel awkward.  My discs also had some flashing on the bottom.   This is is a good option if you are looking for a straight 9/10 speed without too much fade.

    This is my favorite relatively straight fairway driver. I use it for backhands and forehands. Many Apaches in previous types of plastics (Evolution) had fairly extreme domes. Newer ones in diamond plastic have some dome but are less extreme. I think new diamond Apaches are excellent workhorse fairway drivers. They are fairly neutral and can hold most lines. You can hyzer flip them for a straight flight for distance.

    I've been playing for about 7 months and this is my favorite driver in my bag. It flies super straight and fast with little fade at the end. I don't have the biggest arm, so this disc is perfect for me, It turns ever so slightly, then has a very gentle fade... Like I said, super straight.
