A fresh chief def. have a good amount of LSS. After using mine exclusively this weekend however it's quickly seasoned into a dead straight flyer. I agree with Geo that the chief is a slight bit less HSS than the wizard as it can get a little turn on a rip but overall it's a rock solid disc. My most used chief is also a SSS feeling blend whereas most have been in the firm SS range.
I am really enjoying mine for low ceiling approaches, window hyzers and putter skips. Overall I think these can coexist with wizards bc the py can achieve similar distance and lines, albeit with a different height & speed. I will say I am throwing my chief a lot farther than my wizards, but wizards are a tick too deep for me, thus losing a bit of confidence in my grip. Great mold off the tee.
In the circle, however, the chief is simply too fast. Blow bys are very easy to achieve and without giving it enough pop, you'll fade off early. I don't see these being a go to putting for too many players. I would imagine the cut through so would also become common occurrence bc of the slim profile.
Verdict: amazing driving putter for the masses. Really shallow & EASY to throw distance lines w/ control. Going to be a very versatile disc off the tee for short drives. I've parked holes using it from sweeping hyzers to panning annys and everything in between. In the circle, it doesn't come close to matching it's legendary brother (Wiz). I also love than the width of two Chiefs are about the same bag space as one wizard!
