I need to know what plastic you guys prefer for the Wizard! I have a Polecat in the bag right now and I'm gonna keep it for my lay up putter, but i want to see if i can replace my JK Aviar with a Wizard. I've heard that the Wizard is a very consistent putter and I just want to know what plastic i should get?

This question might be answered better by an email to Gateway directly. You can get any feel and firmness in the Sure Grip plastic (Medium/Soft/SS/SSS/RFF) so it's best for you to decide what you want.
If you want a JK-style feel and firmness, I would suggest a softer SS with a velvety feel.

Hi, I have also replaced my jk aviar with a wizard for throwing. I use a SS super soft and it's more firm than the jk but maybe not as firm as a kc aviar, but close.
the wizard SS is great for drives. Although some of my friends have softer grippier wizards that also drive well.
can't really go wrong driving with any wizard

My favorite is the gummy hpp evo wizards, use them for 130 and in...Hold stability forever great in wind and stick to chains...greatest putter ever made
these might not be so easy to find...
Soft or SuperSoft Wizards are great for putting. I prefer soft, but once it gets cold out i'll probably toss the supersofts.
I like my ions(wizard clone) a little more for the approach.

The Eraser Wizards are my favorite, but I also love my 4S's.
which are now considered illegal for tournaments..correct me if im wrong?
Firm Softs should still be legal.

It doesn't matter. The PDGA asked Dave to stop making discs in Medium and G9i plastic. They didn't declare any existing discs illegal.
I would not, looks like gateway just doesnt make them anymore?
I suppose you could hear a difference in a medium hitting the chains/basket compared to other putters lol.. but i could care less if anyone uses them in a tournament even if they were illegal.

I wouldn't either. I mean really there is no special advantage. I just like the feel and how smooth they come out. You are correct the firmest wizard gateway maes now is the eraser-25 which pass the flex test at 25lbs.
Dude.. The wizard and it's plastics are very inconsistent. You need to go and feel them for yourself.
depends on how you look at it..
Gateway makes some money off these discs.. so why not run it plenty of different types of plastic to offer a good feeling disc for everyone. The tricky part is actually buying them, as others have said you could go directly through gateway.. or just try to specify what you want from other online retailers. Like you said.. buying them in person is the easiest way, but this goes for many discs.
Gateway is the only brand where I would have to go look at it before I purchased. They all feel so different. My old SS Wizard feels perfect. I never found another wizard to feel like it again.. Which is why I no longer use Wizards but that was the best putter, I swear.

closet to jk would be RFF, just dont get a white one, they are way too floppy

no better deal than gateway x-outs, if it isnt "the one" just add it to your practice stack
