[Gateway] Wizard Weights

[Broken Shoulder]

I have no idea. I try not to worry about anyone else's balls.

Did ___'s head come inflated or deflated?

 

[Aim For The Chains]

Deflated. Just like basketballs etc. Only retail packaging is inflated. When you order bulk they come bagged up in my experience. Way too big and heavy being inflated to make sense IMO.

Looks like it depends where purchased. Wilson says to inflate to spec during manufacturing and found both ways. I also have inflated a box of balls before that were new. So yes and no?

Yeah, that wasn't going to change regardless.

Sneaky bugger...you edited.

Agreed. I wasn't changing.

Gateway is not the only company that produces out-of-spec discs tho. Literally every single disc company does it, I don't get this witch hunt against gds

Well Innova owns the PDGA sooooo....

I have a few hundred Wizards

This got lost in all the fun arguing and grabbing of balls.

You have a FEW hundred Wizards? A few is at least 3. That has to be one of the biggest collections out there. Right?

 

[ranger]

Probably not. Once you start throwing wizards it just adds up.

Similar situation here. That Wizard may or may not be proper weight, but it's not the manufacturer's job to check it for tournament usage.

Stamping "PDGA Approved" makes me think that they should not knowingly produce overweight discs.

I get the appeal of trying to bump up against the edge of the rules… but that's one thing. Going past them consistently - even flaunting it a little bit - is too much, IMO.

I doubt it. And no, I don't have 300+. I might have 200 though.

If I can get the Erie Disc Golf Club going (goodness we have anti-progressive, slow-moving, backward thinking people around here in government positions…), I hope to pass many of them out to people who try out the sport or something.

I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I didn't have 200+ extra wizards.

 

[tbird888]

You got me beat. I'm over 100 but doubt I'm near 200.

I realize you're probably just ripping me a little, but…

I got about 20-30 free with other purchases.
I have another 20-30 that are field throwers for practice, etc. This includes the G9i I have.
I have 10 or 15 I'll play with. Some vary in softness depending on temperature, feel, etc. Some are for putting exclusively.
I have 10 or so that are special stamps from events and things I like.

The rest… are quite likely putters I'll give away to people interested in the sport.

Oh, and I have one 247g heavy Wizard.

 

[ranger]

I was serious

Keep an eye out for the next PDGA approved discs update! The Wizard will be on there, up to 176g, with no changes to the mold!

 

[ODRB]

Please write "177" on a bunch of Wizards and send them to me.

 

[tbird888]

Now I can start competing in sanctioned events again!!!





Putt with Wizards or putt with nothing!

Found this thread today...and the updated list from two days ago (Jan 24, 2017) shows the 176g Wizard (revised)
