Westside Disc Golf Tournament Gatekeeper Midrange 4/5/0/2 - Choose Exact Disc
SKU: DG-WD-TO-GATE (REF251-10)
Description
The Westside Tournament Gatekeeper midrange is a midrange that holds any angle, molded in Tournament plastic. It's built for players who want a predictable, reliable flight, and it's at its best on angle-holding mid shots. Westside Discs is a Finnish brand known for mythology-inspired mold names, molded at Latitude 64's factory in Sweden as part of the Trilogy family alongside Latitude 64 and Dynamic Discs.
Tournament Plastic
Tournament is Westside's grippier premium plastic: opaque, durable, and more comfortable in the hand than VIP. It's comparable to Latitude 64's Gold Line and Dynamic Discs' Fuzion, flies a touch less overstable than VIP in the same mold, and is the premium plastic to choose when grip matters in cold, wet, or humid conditions.
The Mold
The Gatekeeper goes right where you throw it and excels at holding angles. Even with power, it stays true with a slight fade, with surprising high-speed stability and a comfortable rim.
Stability
The Gatekeeper is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits players of every skill level who want a predictable flight.
Flight Numbers
