Platinum plastic

Platinum is one of Gateway Disc Sports' premium plastics and the grippiest of its main blends, with a soft feel and good durability. It also appears on Black Zombie and Hobby Discs molds, both produced by Gateway.

Within Gateway's unusually deep range it sits at the high-grip end, opposite the harder Diamond and Firm grades.
