What weight putter do you use?

[chain-addicted]

Max wt all the way.

Yep...

Lots of people here would benefit from carrying a slightly lighter putter, think 170. You really don't lose any stability and gain some easy distance on putter shots.

Also I have a 155 wizard I've been using for fun and I can crank on that thing with a power grip and not flip it over, it's awesome.

I am starting to like everything heavier...except my women.

I don't mind a tad lighter putter but certain putters, like the VP's I use (they come in 170-172 or 173-175), I can tell when they're not max weight, they just feel lighter in my hands (that's when you know I play a little too much DG) and I like the bulky feeling.

Honestly I don't know anyone that doesn't use putters above 170. I've always used Challengers 172-174 by convention.

Something I've always wanted to try. I just always think wind would be an issue.

Wind is a factor for any putter.

Wind is a factor for any putter.

This is true. Putters are the bluntest discs, and therefore influenced by the wind more than any other discs. This is exactly why I use heavier putters. Even 170 gets tossed around a lot more than 173+. They stability is the same, but wind resistance is not. Blake talked me into trying some lighter putters, but I did not stick with them due to the swirling and gusty winds we have here on the coast where I live. I also don't care too much about making long putts (outside 40-50'), which is where the lighter putters provide more advantage.

170 soft magnets. They have good glide, i just need to get more accurate to use that glide. Possibly switching to a Aviar putt and approach.

 

[Jukeshoe]

168g

 

[dmalexander]

I have a 176 soft focus that is my go to, but I also have a 171 and a 173. I just like the stability of that putter. I have a challenger on the way that weights 174. My focus is pretty straight, so I'm hoping the challenger has a little more fade.

 

[teebob]

175 Soft wizard for approaches aind short drives.
175 SS omegas for anyting insde 50 feet.
I carry 2 of each.

 

[Frank Delicious]

I just played two very open courses in the wind and my 167 wizard was just as good as the other guys' max weight putters.

 

[Trashthrasher]

175g SSS Wizard

 

[Marmoset]

All 150, all the time.
I'll echo the 150 Wizard comments... they make awesome putt/approach/short-midrange discs.
FWIW, I like my 143 SS Voodoo better than the 150 Wizards. I got one in the same blend as Discspeed's favorite Voodoos and I feel it is spot on for everything I ever wanted in a putter.

 

[sloppydisc]

175. It handles the wind well, and one weight for anything makes sense to me.

 

[howardb]

all my putters are 172-175. aviar and nothing but. Handles windy conditions well and i like to throw them off the tee as well.

 

[gkeberhart]

when putting I dont think it makes that huge of a differnce as Frank Delicious pointed out. I know a guy that actually prefers in the high 160s for his overstable putters because he can keep it on a straighter line longer (push putter). I dont throw anything super overstable so I am happy with the 174/175 range because that is what feels best in my hands.

Those other guys suck.

 

[Frank Delicious]

Those other guys suck.

Well yeah. I make sure I only play with guys worse than me.
