Rate this Disc

The Gateway Samurai is a high-speed distance driver with moderate turn and moderate low-speed end-of-flight fade. The Samurai is one of Gateway’s farthest flying PDGA approved discs. For newer disc golfers, the Samurai reacts like an overstable disc. For experienced players, it makes a good turnover driver. This disc is also recommended for sidearm throws, rollers, and tomahawk throws.

Platinum Details

Evolution Platinum is a fantastic ultra premium plastic blend by Gateway. The plastic offers a unique metallic shine that not only looks good, but it is also incredibly grippy and flexible (you can literally fold a Evo-P disc). This plastic blend is especially recommended for playing disc golf when it's cold outside.

Didn't mind this one, I can throw it ok, but the bead on the bottom is definitely weird. It's easier to forehand than backhand. Flies pretty similar to my beat in journey and I like the feel of that disc better so the samurai will probably not make the bag.

The Samurai is a high speed distance driver from Gateway. I was not a huge fan of this disc, as I struggled to find any consistency with the disc. It has a lot of turn if you get this thing up to speed, but its fade is significant as well. It reminds me a lot of a Katana. I feel like you really need some room to work this disc, but even then I found it to be inconsistent for me.
