[Gateway] Best gateway approach putter!

[rxflores]

I am currently using my buzz for a mid range and aproach and use sss wizard for puts under 50ft. I kinda dislike my buzz for approach shots cause I always overthrow it. And I don't use my putters for approach cause I don't use them for nothing else. But I love the feel of gateway putters and don't like the speed of buzzz for aproach shots under 100-150. What's a good mold weight ect.
I've used the shark and upgraded to the buzzz after beating my shark to a flipper! List whatever you use for approach shots if u want and weight and such.
Thanks in advance

Why not throw your Wizard then or get another one for approaches/short tees? Putters have the ability to fly a lot further than 50' and don't have the same limitation that a golf putter has. They are also generally more accurate than faster discs too.

I use either a discraft Comet for approach shots because it can be a real finesse/touch disc max weight. For my approach putter I use a FLX Challenger max weight. Regular Wizards or SS are also good for approach/driving putters if you want to keep to the same mold.

zone is a little buzz when broken in. pro d is best after you smash a few trees. esp takes long time to break in.

a latitude 64 opto pure is a slower buzzz in a low profile putter form.

My main reason not using my putter is cause I don't want to beat it up more due to it being at a perfect condition that I'm use to. So a wizard in a diff mold? How does the medium or soft feel? Is it feel like a soft magnet? How does the warlock compare to it I want one that has a lot of glide that I don't have to put much effort to.

Warlock is a beadless Wizard.. Less fade. Magic flies real straight with great glide.

I'm assuming u mean broken in like beat to heck! Cause the zone is crazy overstable.

Isn't the magic a understable wizard without the bead? Or with?

The Magic is its own unique mold. It isn't a stepchild of any other Gateway putter.

My favorite Gateway approach disc is an Evolution HPP Wizard. When I need a predictable hyzer line, this disc is crazy accurate. I use it from 150' - 250' with major confidence. On holes where it helps out, I always aim for a nice hyzer line approach...

Step child? What's its flight path compared to?

 

[Billym]

Wizard, Warlock, Voodoo or Magic (stable to less in order more or less) try some pick one or any other putter for that matter. All putters excel at approaches.

 

[Stetz1010]

With gateway you're prolly gonna have to go feel a couple due to the differences in S-SS-SSS. Some SS are firmer than the S, some are floppier than the SSS, all depends on the exact disc.

i'm the same way, i have a 'putting only' putter that only gets thrown on wide open upshots.

try another sss or maybe a softer ss wizard or warlock. the stiffer plastics have less glide and will be a little harder to throw.

 

[rxflores]

I'm looking for a disc with glide and easily thrown with little effort preferably similar flight path as the wizard. With the bead but I hear a lot of inconsistent molds with ss and soft wizard that's why I went with SSS but does lighter wiz have more glide but will flip in the wind?

Get another Wizard just for driving and approaching. Enjoy

This. I like soft, 170ish for approaches and medium max weight for driving.

Get a second wizard. Extra putting practice putter and a good approach disc

The Wizard (for me) is the best throwing disc I have. I use it for everything 200 and in. It flies the way I tell it and it lays flat, which I want when running baskets. Its stable enough where u can pull on it hard yet it glides like a putter should. I use light weight ones for a lot of upshots as well. Tons of glide but great HSS.

I have some I like for putting and some I like for driving. They're so cheap it doesn't matter, they're easily replaceable...Just ordered another 10 from double D

So yeah, Wizard lol

i putt with organic wizards soft-firm feeling

and I LOVE approaching,driving and just plain throwing the Soft wizard 175g
it has changed my game so much for the better. I used to approach with the buzz up until a few years ago. now I find myself on the course judging holes and shots during the round by..... hmmm am I in wizard range???
