i think the cryztal z challengers are the best for all around putting circumstances....

they fly slow - so you can run at the basket and not have to worry about cruising too far by if you miss

they are stable as hell - from any distance you can start them on an anhyzer and they will finish by cutting left (for righty throwers) which allows for the putter to stay chain high for longer through the flight pattern

they're beefy - they wont get consumed by the wind and when they hit the chains they stay there

runners up - 9x kc avair, first run ce aviar small beads, gateway wizard

Wizards,  you can get them in many types of plastics and stiffness.  Around here about half my tee shots are with an E Wizard or a firm wizard, and I putt with a black soft wizard or a glow wizard.

I use soft Wizards for putting and most everything under 250.  I guess tight tunnel shots or low ceiling shots are the only things I dont use them for.

I'm all about the ching juju.  i have the fusion in 175g.  i like the thumb grooves because you get the same feeling everytime you throw it with a good consistant flight.  it is a slow glide as an approach disc so you wont ever go too far past the hole.  not great for super long distances because if you put too much behind them they tend to flip.  but great as an approach disc.  i have made many more approach shots from 40-60 feet with this disc since switching from an aero because it is so consistant in your hand as well as the flight path.

I always forget to order XDs but I have some Bulldogs.  I like soft putters for putting and hard putters for upshots, but I'm lazy and don't like to learn or carry that many discs. 

I'm fickle with putters.  Something works for awhile.  Then I have a bad streak, lose confidence and try something different.  Right now I'm mostly relying on two really soft and well worn Magnets.

Nothing is better than a beat glow aviar.  And a little Champ Rhino for approach/windy days since it takes alot of wind to move it and when it hits it stops.

Wizard.  Stable off the tee.  Handles wind.  Flys far and exactly where you throw it.  Soft ones are my favorite.  Grab chains well.

 Gotta echo the wizard praise.

I putted with 86 molds for 17 years. Then I decided I needed a putter that could perform in windy conditions. The wizard is very good in the wind, very stable, feels great in my hand and can be used as a midrange and driver up to about 315'. Kinda like an aviar but longer and straighter.

Most gass stations that carry them usually tend to have some. I know the club should have some as well.
