[Gateway] Gateway Wizard

[Three Putt]

Got this off eBay and I am curious as to when this Stamp is from. I've only been around for about a year and a half and hadn't seen this particular one before. Also first time trying to post images so sorry if it doesn't work

They used that stamp in the early part of the 2010's; that tooling didn't come into use until the middle of the 2010's so very rough estimate is that it's probably a 2015-ish sorta vintage.

Thanks for the info! It's definitely anything but soft but given what I've read I fully expected that. Gonna use it as my main putter for now at any rate.

Mail call today.. Got a nice Wizard today.
'Nylon Superglow Wizard - EXCLUSIVE' from T.U.

Great feel and stamp
Apparently nylon is in the blend. Glows nice too. Blueish veins/swirls through it. Pretty cool.
I ordered 2 more.

Forgive the sideways photo.

Got an OG grape Eraser Wizard for sale if anyone is interested.

UNC baby blue Jumpman SS chalky Wizard arrived today. I absolutely love the feel of this one, should have bought another.

Buy another...chances are there will never be a similar feeling run lol

 

[Huk Finn]

I know! It was eBay. There were only 2. I bought one, other is gone. My mistake.

Pretty sure I have close to 50 Wizards. Not too many, but just enough. Predator stamp or Lebowski Jumpman are probably my favorites.

I putt with 175 Wizards. I bought a 156 just to see what would happen at a distance that is much farther out than I can comfortably hit with 175. Anyone else tried this with success?

Have you noticed any ability to make further putts with the light weight one you bought?

Haven't tried yet, just got it. I'm hoping I can do the same exact thing I do now, just from a farther distance and reach the basket.

I ran a kids program for several years and had 156-158g Wizards around for a long, long time. So far as putting with them went, for me they basically did exactly the same thing as heavy Wizards with less wind resistance. They were not noticeably longer, they were just sorta helpless in the wind. Using a heavy Magic from farther out was a better option for me to increase that range.

Good info, makes sense.

I received a Diamond Wizard last month for sponsoring a hole at a tourney. The plastic looks awesome, a nice pearly, semi-opaque pink.

But it's gotta be the worst of all Wizard blends. I've never felt a plastic that was this slick in the hand.

That's interesting, I think most will say Diamond In general is a pretty grippy plastic. I toss a full Diamond bag sometimes and have to say it's ones of the best plastics I've felt.

It's the only Diamond Wizard I've ever had so maybe it's just a bad batch of plastic?

Honestly, Diamond plastic can come in a variety of different (usually good) feeling blends. I recently bought a pair of Diamond Shamans that feel quite different than the pair Diamond Wizards I just bought. It's sort of a Gateway thing. Most of us just sort of lean into it.

Chalky wizards. Explain?

Chalky wizards. Explain?

The chalky ones I've had have all had what looked like white stretch lines going into the rounded portions. Giving it like a chalky look. They also beat in similar looking with more chalky look.

The grip on them is very good, even in slightly wet weather.

I think all mine that were chalky were SSS or more flexy.
