Whatever feels good to you. Putters are a personal preference. I use a soft magnet. Lot of peeps like the wizard. But really whatever feels comfortable to you.

Whichever one of those goes in the basket the most for you. Use that one.

I did the same thing and bought about 20 different kinds of putters to try before I settled on the one I like the most. I practice with them in the yard, some days they all go in and other days none of them do. I think putting's all about technique and confidence, and not so much about what you're throwing. So yeah...what Kenji said.

Same I had 10 different putters at one point and I settled on the Champion Aviar A&P not to many people love it but I've hit some distant birdies with it. Practice putting find what works best for you.

definitely personal preference- but your style has a lot to do with it- do you throw level and straight at the chains with little to no spin? or do you tilt the disc a little and throw hyzers at the basket?


kc aviar and wizard are thrown with a hyzer by a lot of folks
the magnet is very straight in comparison

a putter that everyone is saying is stable will take more power to fly straight, and may be more reliable in the wind

My point was that I don't really think it matters what kind of putter you use. I always use the same 3 on the course and most days I can putt pretty well. But I probably would make close to the same percentage of my putts regardless of which one's I put in my bag.

yeah, i love the paper plates line- i stole it from a friend a few years ago... so much so that one of these days i'm going to show up to a tournament (NSC since it's not sanctioned!) with a stack of about 10 plates stapled together and toss them in... obviously with a sick graphic too...
