This is probably dumb, but I jut rub a little dirt on there to cut down on the tackiness. Not a bunch and I clean off my fingers after I do it so I don't have the dirt on my fingertips, just a film of it on the underside of the putter.

What do you guys do on hot humid days to lose some of the tackiness with gateway putters? I was using firm warlocks and I felt like there was glue on my discs today with it being 90 and really humid. It was really getting in my head that I wasn't going to release right. By the way, what a great mold.
Why disc golfers are the best; Warlock edition.
This is my putter:

I got a voucher in 2011 for a local store that had golf discs; the selection was bad and all I could find that I might kinda sorta want to try out was this Warlock. I ended up liking it and it accidentally became my main putter. After I had it for eight years I threw it on a short hole at Creve Coeur; that park might have an interesting history because in that fairway were two small open holes that lead down to an abandoned sewer. My disc went straight in one of the holes and was gone. I don't live in St. Louis anymore, and I didn't have any equipment to get down far enough the reach the disc. I had to leave it, so I posted an RIP putter thing to Facebook.
I played league at White Birch when I lived in St. Louis so I know Bob Waidmann, he's the longtime course pro there. I moved in 2000 so at the time that I lost the disc I hadn't been around for 19 years. Bob saw my post and made a special trip over to Creve Coeur with something to pull the disc out for me. You can't ask for a better guy than that.
At the time I pretty regularly went to St. Louis so we were just going to meet up in the spring sometime. Then we had COVID and we never met up. Finally 15 months after I lost it I was going to be in St. Louis, so I got ahold of Bob and today at long last I'm the proud re-owner of a now almost 10-year-old putter.
He said it didn't look very beat up for a disc that old; I told him it is MY putter so all it ever hits is the ground. :\
I've never had an issue with hot stamps on base plastic. I think every putter I've ever owned has an intact hot stamp.The Stamp is still very well preserved for 10 years.

Drift but whatever...Not me, my Magnet in the old Stiff Pro D from 2005 had the ring of stamp wearing off after just a few years after I got the disc in mid 2006 and drew in with red Sharpie the ring over the years for the 6-7 I was really playing disc golf with disc in parts more since I used that ring to mark where the thumb goes on disc. The Stamp you could feel the stamp raised on the disc rather then stamped into the disc, But the inner part is still good as disc is in my beginner bag.

The only real issue I've ever had on base plastic discs was purple Innova stamps; the purple rubs off leaving the silver base.
Ontario Roc; the stamp started out as purple.

I've had a few discs that did that, but otherwise the hot stamps are pretty solid.
The hot stamps on Champ-type plastic rub off, especially around the edges where the disc in front of it in the bag rubs against it. I don't really have an issue with any other plastic.
They finally ran the Warlock in Diamond, bet those are going to be nice driving putters.
What's the most KC Pro-like Warlock?
The PW's?
