[Recommend] Wizard Throwers, Help!

[aajpity]

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

That is true. $8 a putter. That's not a bad deal.

I like my ace run sss wizards. They feel way better then the normal sss wizards for some reason.they feel Almost like the eraser plastic

 

[solomon.trenton]

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

too bad rff varies by color and run. oh wait that is all gateway, they dont even know what the recipe is:wall:

which are now considered illegal for tournaments..correct me if im wrong?

And you'd say this, why?

 

[solomon.trenton]

And you'd say this, why?

the mediums and g9is dont pass the flex test and therefore arent pdga approved

 

[Gonnagal]

I personally throw the Chalky wizards, but I think the SS Wizard is a great starting point. Usually they are a little firm with some give. Like others have stated, Gateway is wildly inconsistent with their plastic stiffness. However, if you call them they are awesome to help you out. I really would like to try some of their grape eraser Wizards myself.

This is wrong. As I said earlier, Dave was asked to stop making more. They were never declared to be illegal for competition.

glow

 

[Bardu]

Yeah I prefer glow too.

Gateway may be 'inconsistent,' but each Wizard is still great! I prefer stiff ones, but if you like floppy, they make great floppy ones too.

...a velvety feel.

Perfect! I have a pair of SSS that I will want to replace some day. This is the perfect descriptor. I imagined the conversation going something like:

Hey, I wanna get 5 SSS's that feel the same as the ones I have.

"How do the ones you have feel?"

Umm. ..good?

"Could you be more descriptive?"

...Really good.

 

[whentherainscome]

But you gotta feel 'em up. They vary a lot which is annoying, but it also means there's a Wizard for everyone. I found a pair of SSS that feel great for putting, and I like the grittier feeling S for approaches and drives.

I just added an RFF for impact reduction on really wooded approaches and hill-side landings/roll-away minimization. I've used it once so far... it bounced off a tree and rolled down a hill. :|

They're so floppy I literally MADE 6 finger dimples on top like a frigin ching disc by repeatedly folding it completely in half. Sweet glorious floppyness...

 

[cacriswell2]

Personally I like the normal soft wizards best for throwing. They just seem to best off the tee in my opinion a little straighter than the glows but I feel like that handle power a little better but that is just my opinion

 

[Phantom Discs]

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.

:clap::clap::clap:

We're still talking about discs, right? Floppy, firm, stiff, velvety feel... this thread's gonna get landfilled.
