[Gateway] Gateway Wizard

[Three Putt]

Those are the putters I use as well, stiff organic, same tooling. I always thought they were circa 2012.

I've had mine at least as long as that. Black mini recycle stamp.

Life is kinda funny. In 2010 I got a terrible driving Wizard in a players pack. Not as fast or as stable as a Wizard should be. I thought it was a dud. A little after that we got Ice Bowl discs. Same thing, I took a Roc instead. A few months later we got Club discs. Same thing. They were just bad Wizards. By 2012 they fixed whatever was going on with them and started making good Wizards again. The tournament and club discs I got that were not good drivers I stuck in the bag as putting Wizards since they putted and approached fine, they just were not good driving discs. Those two "bad" Wizards are going to end up being in my bag twice as long as any of the "good" Wizards I've had.

Bad Wizards are just ones you haven't figured out the proper use for yet.

So a short while back I bought a 5 pack of misprint PW wizards. Upon inspection I noticed they were mistrimmed (knick in the bead) which is why I got them so cheap. I didnt care much, they feel great.

Today I finally decided it was time to rotate a fresh one in and grabbed one of my misprints. Well it's flippy. I mean my 2009 am world's clovered soft Wizard flys similarly. It's actually a useful flight and I may end up using them as my putting putters. I noticed they feel flatter which I like for putting.

My question. This is not typical of PW wizards correct, just my flat double stamped mistrimmed? I need to find some stock PWs to throw, they are a great throwing stability. Is there another current run that is stiff and stable/over-stable?

My three felt overstable in the hand, high shoulder, flat top. They were all lighter than marked and wore in super fast. They rip out the hand and go far. Not what I expected but good discs. Big wizard holding an orb for a stamp iirc.

Fossil Wizards

Theyre not quite as firm as PWP but they're better in most every other aspect. They're gritty, tight shouldered & just fantastic Wizards.

 

[myllys]

Wanted to get a hold of some fossil lizards, scales and gilas but then I remembered I'm no millionaire and they're nowhere to be found in Europe :'(

 

[Flick Maniac]

My full color Mike Barnard platinum wiz is by far the most overstable. Great for stable upshots.

 

[thatdirtykid]

Fossil is probably just what I want. Sounds like it will be softer than my first run fossil scales?

Maybe the fossil blend changed, but the ones I threw a year or two ago were crazy stiff. Like the old G9i stiffness.

Thats how my FR scales are as well

As with anything run by Gateway, there is variation in flex. The very first Fossils (marked TF) were G9i firm but with an amazing grip. The first RDG run of Fossil (no stamps) were considerably softer without being flexy. There was just some give in the flightplate whereas the TFs had none. Haven't bought any from any other runs.

Wanted to show off some old reliables and new go to's I love the jumpman stamp on them.

The purples are soft, the greens are og, and the whites are glow.

So is this the "low shoulder" I keep hearing. Both are firm. Left is way older.

That's how I understand it. It's definitely a spectrum, though, rather than just two distinct variants. My current putting Wizard is right in the middle between my lowest- and highest-shouldered Wizards.

Maybe. There is a difference between a domed top and a high shoulder. That looks like a domey top. It's mostly about how it feels in the hand - high shoulders have more to get your hand around, and low shoulders feel really fast and sleek.

Man these red Nikko sigs go faaar...

As I've stated to Dom and Dave quite a few times lately...the red circle chain stamped Nikko Wizards might be the best run they've ever done.

I am really loving mine as a thrower. I just checked and they are sold out at Gateway Underground. I picked up a couple more backups from OTB, get 'em before they are gone!

I'm really liking Super Soft Wizards right now...

 

[bananas1023]

I just picked up two 2016 soft wizards from play it again sports. They were in the used bin for $5.99, but were brand new. Digging the "soft" plastic as I've used RFF, SS, and SSS in the past.
