Gateway wizard.is the best putter on the market. With the best design for overall flight, whether its throwing off the tee or throwing an upshot. Or actual putting from inside or outside the circle. I can’t seem to find a putter that can do every throw as well as the Gateway Wizard does. For flat top putters, a ringer from discraft or any rhino is great. And the mcpro aviars especially the 1132 magenta ones are dead on straight putters. Challengers are great for throwing up shots. And I see a lot of nice broke in aviars flyng real nice for a perfect anhyzer off the tee. But get a Wizard and you can put all those other putters in the used disc bin at play it again. Because whether its a g9i, organic, hpp, medium, soft, supersoft, super stupid soft, ssss, rff, medium stiff or super glow wizard, you’ll be finding the chains a whole lot more with them in your bag. Guaranteed. And if you don’t believe me, try one out. I dare you!:-)
I have been DGing for about 2 years. In that time, I have experimented with a variety of discs, from a variety of companies. I have tried the following: Innova Aviar (Star and DX), Millennium Omega super soft, MVP Anode and Ion, Gateway Wizard, and Vibram VP, Sole, Ridge and Summit.
My favorite one, and the one I pull out the most is the Vibram VP. I like how overstable it is, and with my butting style (snake-strike putt) I am able to release the VP with a slight anhyzer in order to hit longer putts. I also like the gummy feeling that the disc has so that when it hits the chains it has a minimal chance of slipping out of the basket.
I have never used a Prodigy before, but I would be interested in checking it out.
The MVP Ion is my go to putter. It is stable enough to always fade back on the long putts amd it just seems to love going in the basket. I can drive with this disc very consistently as well. It feels great in my hand and looks sexy as all get out. LOVE my MVP Ion!
I started of probablylike most people with an Aviar and it was fine for years. One day I found a Rhino with no ink on it so I put it in my bag to try and that had become my long range putter. A year ago I bought some discs from a guy who couldn’t play anymore and in the discs I got from him was a Gateway Warlock SS and I know it is an Aviar copy but this is by far my best disc for putting at any range and on short holes I use it as my driver. I own eleven of them in different weights and plastics.
My favorite putter is the Money Putter in Bronze plastic, but I really like the Wizard/Voodoo combo for all different types of putts. Anode is my favorite driving putter.
I personally love the aviar. Im a relatively new player that would use a flipped driver to putt. With the aviar my game has improved drastically. Im looking forward to expanding and trying other putters to improve my game. But for now an aviar is all a beginner needs.
I voted for, and rely on, Innova’s Rhyno. I throw the Special Edition soft version because it’s predictable in any conditions, holds whatever turn you slap on it, and really doesn’t have much fade. The soft edition has that slightly rubbery texture to it that helps it grab the chains and, if you do miss, stick right where it lands. For me, it’s been one of those rare discs that as it takes more hits and dings it just seems to become more an extension of my mind and arm, rather than lose any of its flight characteristics. SE soft Rhyno- scorecutter!
the gateway wizard has helped my game by not changing putters often. sticking with the wizard to stick it in the hole ss or medium is fine
I have to give my vote to the MVP Anode. Mine is in soft Proton plastic. It fits in my hand as if it were designed for me, and I know where it’s going as soon as it leaves my hand. It’s got just enough glide that I can trust it when my putt is a little lengthy, but not so much that I worry about sailing past the basket. If you haven’t found a putter you love, give an Anode a shot!
I gotta give it to Aviar. Just a nice beat in DX aviar.ion is a close second. Tryin the anode this spring.
Gateway magic for all my birdie needs.
I love Joker coz it is stable in every conditions. I love to use it on windy condition. Joker can be used approaching and even opening shot. Joker is one of the best putter for Finlands weather (even winter).
I like a lot of the Gateway putters…. the Voodoo and the Wizard feel really good in my hand. But my favorite has to be the Magic…. it’s a bit understable and I can make it turn right or left. Its a little floaty in the wind but small adjustments are easy with the Magic.
I like Banger GTs. If I had to pick just one, that would probably be my choice. But I also carry an Aerobie Arrow, which is excellent as well. And if floats in water. : -)
Aerobie Arrow for the win! 😀
My putter of choice is the Gateway Warlock. I have 3 in my back. A beat in warlock for approach shots provides a great disc that is slightly understable, but provides a nice hyzer flip if not thrown too hard. The other two are my putters, one is a newer putter that is less warn that has a nice glide turn finish for longer putts, and a older, more worn warlock that is a nice stable putter that I can bang into the chains and can count on it to stick~ it is a grippy, soft plastic that loves the chains.
Obviously the #1 putter in disc golf is the Innova Aviar P&A. I have more than one in my bag in different plastics. This is due to the stiffness difference between the plastics. If it’s windy, I have to throw something a little more rigid. I tend to only put with my putters, but when an occasional approach shot is necessary and I don’t feel comfortable throwing a midrange.
This was my first putter and will probably be my last. I have thrown a few other types, such as a voodoo, a dart, and a soft-banger. None of these other discs compare to the Aviar.
Well, that’s my opinion on all things putters. Now if only my body would let the disc do what it’s made to do… GO IN THE BASKET!!
By far the best putter to use is the 3x JK Pro Aviar. I have tried many other putters in the past such as a Champion Aviar, a Polecat, a Whamo 69, just to name a few. The 3x JK feels like butter and I have noticed that a lot of players are using them. I do want to try the Prodigy putter, it just may replace my gem.
Love the Innova Aavair “Yetti”. I have hit several long putts with it as well as using it as a nice set up.
Its soft and grips the chains while being stiff enough to use as a mid-range “get me closer” disc.
I am playing in the Vibram birdie baash so I will get to try out the sole and see how it stacks up, but it would have to be a super disc to change my mind!
I’d have to give it to MVP and their putter line up. Both Ion and Anode have their uses. I used to be a firm believer in the Aviar line up but switched to MVP and haven’t been back since. Consistent in both quality and intended flight. Best putters out there that can be used for a ton of different shots.
