You can shatter fossil, I've done it. I don't think you can taco or warp it tho.

I think there is a lot of truth to this. What it boils down to is that the PDGA is pretty limited in its ability to enforce the standards after a mold gets approved, and that 99% of the time disc manufactures get that and choose to stay within the standards anyway. This arrangement is inevitably going to cause some drama every once in a while
Kinda what I was thinking. Never felt G9i, but fossil has got to close in stiffness.

The new fossils are softer, the blue fossil fuels are pretty close
I warped a grey proto scale pretty badly from a tree hit. The area bent down but was hard to work back flat again due to being so stiff. I do see it being more susceptible to breaking though vs deforming being such a firm blend.
I really didn't care so much about the G9i's, but I really miss medium Wizards. I've had to switch to the soft Wizards, which...it might be me but when a soft is new it's fine in terms of being firm, but they beat in and get softer. I hate soft putters. I really can't beat up a Wizard anymore.Hopefully the beat up mediums I have will last me.
Have you tried the Dog Toy Wizards? It's the closest blend to medium I've found recently.

My main putter is an old medium wizard, and the first run fossil lizards I picked up from RDG are significantly stiffer. More like the original G9i.
Y'all need to shut up about how stiff the Fossil plastic is. Just sayin'. :|

Thank you! I been hoarding RDG just in case the jig is up. Let's all just agree to call it a firm soft blend.

"BROKE". Not sure if all capitals are needed but that is how it was originally posted.
Bingo! Buy em up boys! The more stuff y'all buy this week the sooner we all get to throw the Tyrant, which is the only 2016 mold release I care about.
Does gateway still use 4S plastic?
They do occasional runs of it. I had a few from the first run (before RFF), and they did a run of it in the last few months. Not sure if there has been any in between, but I don't think so.
There was a recent run of it, so for now they're decently easy to find. I don't think it's a regular thing tho.
My main putter is a wizard but it has no tooling on the back at all it just 172 soft albeit the plastic is not really "soft" I have had it for probably close to ten years. What plastic would this be or what run? The color looks like terra cotta. There are so many blends runs etc etc it s hard to know what ya got. Any info on old wizards with absolutely no tooling on the back?
