The Charm is Gateway's point-and-shoot approach disc, rated 3/3/0/0, with an unusual flight for its class.

Gateway describes a disc that handles a good deal of torque without being especially overstable: it holds up to backhand and sidearm power but will not hyzer or anhyzer into the ground on an angle, instead coming to rest flat. That flat landing is what makes it an approach specialist rather than a putting putter.

It carries a small groove on the top for sidearm control and release angle, and is offered in NXT. The PDGA approved it in October 2025 under certification 25-159.
