Gateway Wizard
The Gateway Wizard is a true, stable workhorse putter with a pronounced bead for control. It holds the line you put it on and finishes with a reliable, gentle fade. Confident into a breeze and trustworthy off the tee, the Wizard excels at putts, approaches, and short drives where shape and land-on-command matter.
Throw it flat for straight carries that settle on center, or put it on slight hyzer for a pushy finish. For touch approaches, the bead and deeper profile give clean, repeatable releases on both backhand and forehand. It’s the disc many players build their entire short game around.
Why throw the Wizard?
- Wind-ready stability with a predictable, late fade.
- Beaded rim = consistent grip, angle control, and confidence.
- Equally at home on putts, standstill approaches, and short tee shots.
- Available in a huge range of plastics and flexes to match feel and season.

FAQs
What are the Gateway Wizard flight numbers and what do they mean?
The Wizard is rated 2 | 3 | 0 | 2. Speed 2 keeps it true to putter pace for precision. Glide 3 provides controlled carry without sailing long. Turn 0 resists early high-speed drift, and Fade 2 adds a reliable, gentle finish that you can trust on the green and on approaches.
Which plastic and flex should I choose?
Sure Grip covers the classic putting feels: Firm (stiffer), SS, SSS, and 4S (softest). RFF offers maximum flexibility for grabby landings. Pure White and Eraser are popular grippy baselines with distinct hand feel; Money and Organic/Hemp blends add unique texture and eco-leaning materials. For tee shots and durability, step up to premium Diamond or Platinum, and choose Superglow for night rounds. Pick the feel you like in hand first—stability across Wizard runs stays close to the 2/3/0/2 core.
Is the Wizard good for tee shots and approaches?
Yes. Many players drive the Wizard because it holds straight with power and still finishes on command. The beaded rim and deeper profile help it accept angle, making 200–280 ft backhand hyzers, straight standstills, and soft forehands very repeatable. Into moderate wind, it stays honest without turning into a meathook.
How does the Wizard compare to Judge and Challenger?
All three live in the stable putter lane. The Wizard tends to feel a touch deeper with a pronounced bead and a firmer, later fade. The Judge often glides a hair more, while the Challenger typically flies similarly stable with a slightly different hand feel. If you like a defined bead and confident finish, the Wizard is the classic choice.
