I'm just waiting until I have the funds to buy about 10 more backups, and then I will let you guys know whether they are any good or not.

anyone have a glow and a PW they'd be willing to post side by side pics of?

When you all say high/low shoulder what are you referring to?
The area on the top of the flight plate that transitions to the side.
I don't think I'm describing that well

Shoulder is the edge of the flight plate. If you feel a PW it feels "tall" if you feel a regular Wiz (S,SS,SSS,OG,ER,RFF) it's much "slimmer" this is created by the shoulder. If you call the leading edge the nose the shoulder is the top of t he nose where it meets the flight plate. Hope this helps.

Mine are very flat. My yellow SS has a little bit of give to the flight plate and my red firms have little/none. The yellow SS feels more or less like standard S plastic to me. The red firm is more rubbery and chalky. The flight plate is noticeably thinner than other recent wizards and the tooling is more pronounced. I sanded it down on one of mine, and it feels much better. Flight is fast and straight stable, I think the SS will be a thrower for me and the firms will be backups for the old mediums that I am still using as my primary putters. The new firms are pretty much drop in replacements for those.

Sweet. Exactly what I wanted to hear. I outt with old thin flight plateMediums as well, so glad they ran these Nikko's.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one sanding down the tooling. I'll have to try the firmer run, the first run of these have been great throwers for me.
How is the wizard for a driving/approach putter? I currently putt with warlocks and I'm looking for an upshot disc. In the past I used a classic marshal and now I've been using a plasma envy. I'm not 100% satisfied with the envy for approaching. Was thinking of trying out a wizard in this spot.

I've been doing the same. Way too much text.

They're phenomenal.
Pair one with a Reptilian Disc Golf Scale (WizardOS) and you're pretty much set for 99% of upshots.

Wizards are great throwers for both drives and approaches. But, have you tried throwing your warlock? I havent thrown one, but I would think it would be a similar flight, the way KC and P&A aviars are. Also, what didn't you like about the Marshall and envy? I had both for a short time after getting them in players packs, but got rid of them because I thought they were similar to, but not as good as wizards.

I don't personally feel like Wizards and Warlocks fly that similar, maybe if you beat a Wizard waaaay way in.

The Wizard is that all around putter. Drives, upshot and putting it does it all and really well. Just pick a blend you like load up on them and you're set.
I'm super tempted to try and switch to wizards but I keep changing molds and I need to just stick with one mold I think. Going to try and pick up another warlock (in premium) if I can find one to use as a thrower.
That's what I heard over and over here. Tried it. And went with the Westside Shield. The Shield worked better in windy conditions, went 10m further and felt better in my hands. Now my children play with the Wizards because of the stamp...
