R-Pro Dart is another I've tried recently. It's gummy with lots of glide and very straight. Excellent for longer putts and upshots.

Vibram Ridge (xlink and firm). This thing holds lines so well, it may be shorter driving than other putters but for putting by far it is just as good. I like it a whole whole lot.

Supersoft Wizard - great glide, reliable.

Anything out to 40' I can throw straight at the chains. After that I adjust a bit for fade, but not much really. The fade isn't as bad as you'd think, and I love the way it feels in my hand.

My best friend just got the Rhyno as his first ever putter and likes it. I want it.

Discraft APX Swirl. once broken in it is the straightest flying putter I have used. great for long runs up to 100' and soft enough to catch the chains well.

I started with an Aviar P & A...hated it. Used an Archangel for awhile (don't know, it felt good in my hand and I made some long putts with it, helped in the wind), found a Buzzz and used that for awhile. Tried an XD, and Banger GT, didn't really like those. Now I'm using a Soft Magnet. It seems to grab the chains for me pretty good and I like the feel in my hand.

I've actually been doing this effectively while I wait for my Wizard to come in. It was actually my first ever "effective" dye.
A Zone is a slower Drone so if your outside 15 its gonna turn and hard.
Very surprising there isn't more love for the Challenger. The thing is just so solid, it holds its stability for ever. It feels great in the hand and is basically a Wizard with a smaller bead. Plus the World Champ Emac, USDGC Champs Nate Doss and Cam Todd use it, so that tells you everything you need to know.
i would say my aviar, but im not sure what exactly it is other than pre-05 and starish plastic

I have a tendency to aim right, even if I am staring down the chains on the left side. For the 15 to 35 foot range, the Zone has been surprisingly accurate for me. Anything under 15 feet I can touch putt with my Ridge or Summit. For anything over 35 feet and then the Zone's fade because too unpredictable for guessing when it will cut across the basket and I switch back to the Summit or Ridge again.

When I started out I went through the "lack of confidence while putting" thing also and used Pro Rhynos and Soft Magnets. No Gateway stuff or DGA as the Innova and Discraft putters were more readily available. I then bought a bunch of X-out Aviars (all the same weight and color, got em for $4 a piece) and used those for practice, again an availability thing.
After getting my putting down I realized I didn't need sticky gummy putters to make putts, just a putter that felt comfortable in my hand.
My current Putters
Old beat Glow Aviar for low power putts and approaches.
Black DX Aviar for regular putting duty/ jumpers /short approaches
Black JK for short drives and if its really really windy head wind putts.
I also keep a backup beat Aviar for those danger shots where I don't want to lose a good disc.

A regular aviar for putts and all shots within the 120' range, I don't use any midrange discs.
Wizards. I love them in almost any plastic, and usually have about 6 in my bag. A new one will hold a strong hyzer, they season to beautiful straight discs, and a beat one is an excellent turnover disc. I feel like my wizards fill my putting, approaching and shorter driving roles with a single disc, and that helps me stay more consistent rather than using different molds.

Wizards for approaches under 150 ft.
Magics for straight push putts

Well put. I went with Inn0va's setup (Mag / Wiz) for a while, and I think the Magic is a great putter, but I like the simplicity of just Wizards for everything within a couple hundred feet.
