If they have lat64 at your local establishment you may want to try fondling the Mercy as well. EZE plastic is great and the disc is similar to the Aviar.

I'm a fan of the r-pro Aviars. I have had a 168g in my bag for quite awhile now. I've found the flexibility of the plastic on the r-pro to be great when an approach or putt misses the mark as the disc tends to sit and stay rather than rolling or bouncing farther away from the basket. I've even made a few drives and long approach shots with it, and it files pretty good! Also, the r-pro Avaiars are beadless, if you prefer a putter without. The only thing I don't like about the r-pro plastic is its response to temperature extremes. If you let your r-pro get really warm (leaving it in a hot car, etc.) the plastic gets too flexible, at least for my tastes, but once it cools down a little it goes back to normal... not a huge deal.

weird that a day later I googled "difference between magnet and aviar" and this is the first hit.

traded my first DX aviar (145G) from my starter set today for a magnet and I really think I like the feel of the Aviar better. Ordered a R-Pro Aviar, borrowed another aviar... and going to see how it goes.

Worst case, I have 4 Aviars to practice putting with and learn later I like a different putter better.

Felt up an R-Pro at a local shop today and I do like the grip on it, feels like it will last a long time, but the 13.99 tag at a retail store is not cool, ill wait for DGC to ship mine out.

Thanks for the info Brinker on letting an r-pro sit in the warm Michigan temps (especially next 4 days, 100 degrees!) I can see your point, they feel very *gummy* even in the stores AC. im in kzoo - not sure where you are but again, thanks guys.
