Wizard

Gateway Wizard Flight Chart

The Gateway Wizard is a beaded, stable putter with flight numbers of 2 | 3 | 0 | 2. It’s built for a straight, controlled flight path with a reliable fade at the end, giving you a classic point-and-shoot putter that can also handle tee shots and approaches. With a huge range of plastics and flexes, the Wizard has become a go-to putter for players who want consistent release, dependable stability, and a disc that holds the line you put it on.

Wizard Flight Path for Newer Players

For newer players, the Wizard offers a predictable and confidence-building flight. On soft putts, it tracks straight with a gentle, trustworthy fade toward the end of the flight. That stability helps beginners avoid accidental turn, especially in light wind, and makes it easier to learn clean form. Inside the circle, the Wizard feels like a classic putting putter—point, aim, and let the stability do the cleanup work.

Stable Wizard Flight Numbers for Intermediate Golfers

Intermediate players will notice how well the Wizard matches its rated flight numbers. Thrown with typical putting or approach power, it flies neutral through the high-speed portion and then finishes with a consistent low-speed fade. This makes it excellent for straight putts, slight hyzer putts, and controlled approaches. Many players also lean on the Wizard Flight Chart to understand how running different plastics (firmer vs softer) can slightly tweak feel and ground play without changing the core stability.

Advanced Players and the Wizard’s Flight Path

Advanced throwers commonly push the Wizard beyond simple putting duties. With more power, it can be used as a driving putter for straight tunnel shots, dependable hyzers, and controlled anhyzers that flex out. The 2 | 3 | 0 | 2 profile means it can handle firm releases and mild headwinds better than many neutral putters, while still giving you enough glide to cover distance without needing a midrange.

Forehand Approaches and Utility Use

While it’s not an overstable meat-hook, the Wizard’s beaded rim and stable flight make it comfortable for short forehand shots. Clean forehand approaches will hold their release angle and finish predictably, making the Wizard useful for touch flicks, scramble shots, and tight-gap approaches. It’s especially handy if you prefer to keep one mold for both backhand and forehand putter duties.

Puttheads Notes

The Wizard is one of those “benchmark” putters we use as a reference point. It’s a true stable putter: straight when thrown clean, with a dependable fade that doesn’t feel dumpy. The bead gives great angle feedback and helps it hold power for tee shots, while the plastic menu lets you pick anything from board-flat and brick-stiff to floppy and grippy.
