It holds whatever line you throw it on with very little fade during its drop. It also works as a great putter in windy conditions and handles controlled power very well. This makes it an excellent choice off the tee for mid-range drives in addition to upshots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Wizard is available in many different plastic blends:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePure White (PW)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Pure White blends are created by using a talc filled popypropelene which reduces shrinkage to produce a flatter, lower profile driving putter. This blend is firm on the rim for durability and grippy on the surface. The PW runs are mostly on the stiffer side are are slightly more over stable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirm (F)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe firm putt \u0026amp; approach discs have a firm rim with a slight flex in the flight plate. These discs flex in half at 19-24 lbs of pressure and are typically used for a driving and lay up putter. More firm discs like this are preferred by players who use a pendulum style or a push putt and low spin putting style. They also hold up really well when throwing shots on wooded holes and do not get too flexible when playing in warmer temperatures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuper Soft (SS)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2S putt \u0026amp; approach discs are slightly stiff in the rim and pliable in the flight plate. These discs flex in half at 14-18 lbs of pressure and cover a wide range of putting styles and are still firm enough to be used for driving and lay up shots.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuper Stupid Soft (SSS)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 3S putt \u0026amp; approach discs are flexible in both the rim and flight plate. Flexing in half at 9-13 lbs of pressure. This flex is perfect for flick putters and chest putting where thumb pressure is applied to the flight plate and the discs are sprung out of the hand upon release.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuper Stupid Silly Soft (SSSS)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4S putters are just about as flexible as a disc can be made and still hold its shape. These discs flex in half under 5 lbs of pressure and are very popular among newer players who need the extra grip in the chains on slightly off center hits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuperglow (GLO)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Superglow blends are made using the element strontium which produces the longest lasting brightest glow on the market. We use a heavy loading of the glow to assure our discs glow the best. Most runs of Superglow putters over the years fall between F and SS. More flexible runs are now being marked with accurate flex.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic (OG)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrganic runs are made using a combination of recycled rubber and a renewable resource (corn based bio-polymer) making an eco-friendly product. Most organic discs produce a very chalky surface and fall in between S and 2S. Some older runs that are more flexible may or may not be marked. Plans to accurately mark all future runs with the appropriate flex.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEraser (ER)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Eraser blend is a special mix of polymers that creates an “Eraser-like” grip on the surface of the disc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMoney ($)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe money blend of putt and approach discs are marked with a $ and can range from 2S to 4S. This blend is quite different from our regular suregrip blends as we use a very flexible elastomer which causes the discs to look shiny on the surface and become very gummy with use. The $ blend is great for wet conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Blend (SB)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe often sample materials that are sent to us by suppliers that are either entirely new components or additives to our existing blends. We started labeling special blends after several years of running them with the first being SB-6 and are now up to SB-30. These prototype batches range in quantities from 60 to 300 discs. Unfortunately it’s not always possible to recreate the runs due to their experimental nature. The current blend of SB-30 is something we can recreate and could end up becoming the final Special Blend.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gateway","offers":[{"title":"Vivid Color - Forehand Wizard","offer_id":47964448129263,"sku":"GW0169","price":27.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Vivid Color - Green Cloak Wizard","offer_id":47964448162031,"sku":"GW0170","price":27.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Vivid Color - Jump Putt Wizard","offer_id":47964475621615,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0426\/7628\/9702\/files\/IMG_0164.png?v=1724879910","url":"https:\/\/wildmandiscgolf.com\/products\/wizard-gateway-discs-vivid-color-barnard-artist-series","provider":"Wildman Enterprises","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
