Pick My Putter

[cfair]

Hah, I broke the wizard/ion tie... I voted wizard, I just really like the feel of them in my hand

you also double posted for no reason... trying to get your post count up?

I know youve put a lot of effort in picking your listed molds. Looking at those leads me to the challenger for you. Its flight is similar to the roc and clone with a touch of predness, and like those molds the challenger beats in amazingly. I carry 3-5 in a full bag. There are a ton of putters that i like but with a well worn challenger theres no need for them.

pred? no, Roc, sure. Challenger does beat in nice, and I like it's bead in my hand better than the wiz or aviar. I almost want to kick the wiz out of the option... I kinda wish I wouldn't have included it because it gets the "generic advice" nod by a lot of people...

On that note the Warlock will beat into being the most versatile of all of them. So Warlock, Challenger, Ion is pretty much it. Me thinks the wizard will be out.

"touch of pred" meaning that its one of the more overstable putters...

Warlock for me. I like the stiffer feeling red ones.

I carry a Wizard but only really use it on very stiff into the face wind putts.

It just might have been a case of a pot calling the kettle black unless you missed it

 

[EeBeKay]

Lolz....... Wait.. Uh ... Hmmmm no, I dont get your kettle reference? Is that some kind of racial remark??



















J/k....I'm just having fun

 

[cfair]

KK. Wizard is out. I shouldn't have included it to begin with.

Did you ever try Magics cfair? lol Like you need another putter to think about. With the off season I have been in thought similar to you on changing putters.

I was tempted to try Ions again as I love to drive with them, but I don't know. They are pricey and seem to only run a little heavy for my tastes and that makes me think maybe its time I start learning from the ground up with heavier discs. Then theres also a thought on if I can adjust to how I used to get spit outs and how much of it was me before and if I can fix that.

I have my stack of Magics and they are ok yet Gateway also bugs me when it comes to selecting ones I like and contacting Dave is not that helpful as sometime he seems to not acknowledge the different firmness or at very least kind of evade it. Best luck I had was contacting Discspeed and explaining to him what I was looking for. Thats nice and all, but more effort than it should be.

Been using Summits since. I like regular x-links and soft for specific roles and can approach/putt well with them but they are my least favorite driving putter out of the bunch. It makes me require a slower mid while the 2 above allow me to use a faster mid with the Ion covering the most range consistently.

Why not putt with a Summit and drive with an Ion? Seems like it would be the best combination for you.

Because I can just get a slower mid and cover more range.

 

[cfair]

I like Mike's idea for you Tech. I have been considering driving with Ions if I like them and putting with something else. But I would rather just keep one mold, not using an Ion won't make me unhappy.

 

[cfair]

Also, no Magic. Second, I don't think I would mind gateway's stuff for the warlock. Not because it is so great but because most people go hunting wizards. So there is a larger sample selection of the warlock. That and I like how the warlock will beat in. Starts out just a touch under the wiz in stability. Then beats into being something like the magic.

Booyah. That's what I do. Works great for me. :thmbup: I use my Ions as short midranges more anyway.

 

[chuckdisc]

Kc pro Aviar or if i had to use another putter it would be the WIZARD

I will see where it goes as I am again rebuilding my throw from putters up. It does make sense in a way that I don't want to mess with my putting I don't think and the Summits have been fine in the putt and approach department.

My Summit has been stepping on my Ions puttin' business the last few rounds. I see why you like this thing so much.

 

[Midnightbiker]

Soft Focus. Starts off slightly overstable, and breaks it to a nice straight putter with lots of glide

 

[timothyasteele]

Challenger all the way...that is if you don't like KC Aviars.
