I've felt them up at a store, very nice. A little softer than I prefer though, and much softer than DX. Felt most similar to Yeti.

Gotcha may be a deal breaker as I like me some harder putters.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a 'soft' putter by any means, just softer than the stiff DX. If you've felt Yeti, XT Pro is almost the same in feel and flex. Or Zero medium if you're more familiar with that.
I almost popped out my dominant putting eye trying this...!

I wish they would make the Aviar-X mold in a plastic other than JK Pro, super awesome mold but i can destroy JK Pro in a week or two with heavy use. I have a feeling a Champion Aviar-X would be a helluva driving putter as well. For those griping about beadless putters, there are also Big Bead Aviars and the Omega, which is an Aviar with a microbead. So why hate?
Lol
The xt aviar feels a lot like yeti but doesn't have that funky top. Good feeling plastic. Not too too soft. couple shades softer then KC. But you get that nice tackiness that some people need while putting where most kc are slick until they wear it off.
JK are much more flimsy. Not a fan of JK feel
So is there two JK aviars? And plain jane and JK-X? I'd like a aviar x.

I channel my inner McBeth when putting with my McPro Aviars. Still nowhere near as good as him... Oh well, I'll keep practicing....

Pretty sure the Aviar-X is JK Pro only, I have only seen the Aviar-X in JK Pro. I love the mold but do not love the plastic, feels like a mix of R-Pro and DX, grabs chains but does not wear well at all.

How do the XTs feel compared to Gateway plastics?
I feel like most gateway plastics have the nice tackiness. Some colors are a bit more waxy then other but most colors (or runs maybe?) are tacky. That's just my experience (wizards)
But I'd say XT aviar is like S or a firmer SS.

No comparison to any of the Gateway S series, IMO. XT Pro feels more like firmer R-Pro, if anything.
Feel like r pro is crap unless it's a r pro dart which are awesome finesse discs. I can bend a r pro into a taco easily while the xt is much harder to bend. Not saying like hard dx or kc pro like either. The tackiness is there in the r pro though.
Maybe there is more differences in XT then I thought. My buddy has three but likely from same run.
I prefer the grip on the XT over DX. If I wasn't putting with x-line P1Xs I'd use an XT Aviar. It has a very Yeti-like feel, but not quite as stiff as the Yeti.
Now if they made the XT Aviar with a sunken top like a Yeti...well, six to midnight, fellas.

I said "a firmer R-Pro". Plastic texture is similar. And yes, I'm sure there are variations in blends/runs...just like any Innova plastic.

I'd venture to say that GStar Aviars, especially in summer heat, are as soft if not softer than JK Aviars...
True true.

Poor OP, getting into the Aviar, asked a question, and...confusion.
