The new OS fairway from Gateway looks like it'll be named the Blade(Should be PDGA approved in early January). I don't have the measurement spec's on the disc yet. However, I've been throwing this thing around now for a few weeks and am really surprised at this disc. This is a disc that will fill a void in their lineup for sure. The proto's are super flat and made in a Diamond/Platinum mix it seems. The flight numbers published by Gateway are 9, 5, 0, 3. I'd rate it more like 8,4, -.5, 3. Flight-wise, it really reminds me of the 2015 Sexton Firebird's.
The new US fairway from Gateway doesn't have a prospective name just yet, but it is a solid flyer if you have slow to medium are speed. The feel is similar to that of the Assassin, but it looks to have a different top. The initial flight numbers from Gateway are 9, 6, -2, 1. For the most part, I feel like that is a pretty accurate depiction for this disc. A case could be made to adjust the speed to 8. Out of the box, it is a pretty straight flyer with some late turn to it. This disc with a tailwind has the ability to stretch its legs out like a distance driver if you get a hold of it. If you're looking for a competitor mold to compare it to, I'd probably say the closest comparison would be the Discraft Heat.
Both of these disc's are definitely worth checking out as additions to anybody's bag.
