I've found that throwing lighter putters with a pitch putt doesn't really change the putt to a floaty type putt, it just makes it easier to throw a bit farther. You don't have to glide a 165g Wizard into the chains, it's still like tossing a brick, it's just that you can throw the brick farther.black udder said:Edit: Oh, reason I throw the heavier ones is because after hearing Climo, at some point, somewhere, say it's like tossing a brick into the basket, I wanted something heavy that I'd feel the weight of, not something I'd have to fly/glide into the chains. This way, it's more about the human's natural ability to hit a target with an object and less about my ability to float a disc into a target

Holy balls dude, you carry a lot of putters!
I carry a 175 SSS Wiz for putting and a 174 E Wiz for driving. I'm thinking about picking up a 165ish also though.
That depends on the mold, too. I don't know anything about the Reef, but I do know that stable, big beaded putters tend to be less dependent on weight when it comes to wind stability. Granted, if you get too light it will become an issue, but with the Wizard I've found that it doesn't become an issue until you're lighter than 165g. If you're using something like a Aviar P&A or APX, then I agree with you. Lighter won't work as well into the wind.SkaBob said:There's a delicate balance between light enough to glide great and too light not to get tossed around by the wind.
