The Aura is Gateway's understable distance driver, rated 12/6/-2/1, created as the less stable sibling to the Realm and the Spell.

Gateway calls it a glide machine: the easy turnover and generous glide let players hold long, full lines across a range of arm speeds, which makes it a distance option for throwers who cannot yet power an overstable 12-speed.

It is offered in NXT, Diamond, Platinum, and lightweight Sure Grip runs. Note that Gateway's signature-series Aura runs have carried a slightly different 12/6/-1.5/2 rating than the base mold.
