Gateway says this about the Magic: "The Magic is one of our most popular putters, and one of the best all-around discs for both new players and those with more experience. It is a straight-flying putter/approach disc that can be easily used by beginners because of its great glide and small amount of low speed fade. This is also an easy disc to turn over and will hold just about any line it is thrown without hyzering out.
The Magic has a blunter nose than the other Gateway putters, which allows it to maintain longer spinning action thanks to the added gyroscopic weight distribution in the rim."
Flight Metrics
Speed
The velocity required to reach a disc's optimal flight path. Range: 1 to 15.
Glide
The measure of lift generated by a disc to stay aloft. Range: 1 to 7.
Turn
The velocity, relative to the speed of the disc, required to cause the disc to turn with the direction of spin. Range: +1 to -5.
Fade
The low-velocity stability that causes a disc to hook at the end of its flight. Range: 0 to 5.
There’s a bit of a grippy finish that helps grab the chains, I find it best to slam it in for the best aim, it also is sturdy yet flexible so that the times it hits a tree or the band or nubbs, it doesn’t go far after the hit. Awesome disc
