The Wizard is Gateway's beaded putter, rated 2/3/0/2. It pairs a mostly straight beginning with a noticeable fade and suits putts, approaches and short tee shots where a stable finish is part of the intended line. Players seeking a smooth, beadless underside or almost no finishing movement may prefer a different putter shape. Gateway identifies the Wizard as its flagship putter and promotes it for a broad short-game role, from touch shots to drives. The bead is a functional detail: it creates a distinct lower rim edge that can serve as a finger reference. The first Wizard approval dates to 9 January 2002. The PDGA approved a revised Wizard on 30 December 2016. Gateway sells the Wizard in multiple feels, so a familiar stamp is not enough to match a favorite putting disc.

The Gateway Wizard is one of the most-reviewed discs we track.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
