The Ghoul is a Gateway approach disc rated 3/3/0/3. A strong finish gives it a role on hyzer approaches and short shots that need to work back toward the fading side. Players seeking an approach that carries straight with very little finish may find the Ghoul too fade-led for that line. Gateway describes a low profile, a thumb track on top and a rounded wing. The thumb track is a grip feature worth trying on both a backhand and forehand. The manufacturer says strong throwers can get a longer straight section, while lower-power throws show more finishing movement. The PDGA approved the Ghoul on 24 February 2025.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
