The Prophecy is a Gateway midrange rated 5/5/0/2. It offers a largely straight early flight and a defined fade, useful for approach shots with a planned finish. A player who wants a disc to hold a long turnover with little recovery may be better served by a more understable mid. Gateway identifies the Prophecy as low profile and emphasizes a quick-feeling release with glide and finishing movement. That makes the shape worth checking in the hand, especially for a thrower who prefers less depth beneath the fingers. Its role is controlled midrange distance with some finish, rather than a hard-dropping utility approach. The PDGA approved the Prophecy on 19 January 2018. At lower power the fading section may be more visible; when thrown with enough pace, the player has more opportunity to use the forward portion before the finish.

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.
