If you walked into a disc golf shop and asked for the "Industry Standard," the clerk would likely just hand you an SS (Super Soft) Wizard and walk away. Don't let the name fool you, it’s not a noodle. In the world of Gateway, "Super Soft" is a bit of a misnomer; it’s actually the perfect middle ground for players who want structure with a soul.
The SS is the most popular blend in the Wizard family because it strikes that legendary balance between a stiff rim and a velvety, responsive surface.
Why It’s the Legend of the Links:
• The "Just Right" Flex: It’s firm enough to hold its shape on a 250-foot drive, but has just enough "give" that it won't feel like a dinner plate in your hand.
• Chain-Link Velcro: The SS plastic is famous for its "grabby" nature. When it hits the metal, it wants to stay there. It absorbs just enough energy to prevent those heart-breaking spit-outs.
• The Ultimate Workhorse: It’s stable enough to handle a headwind, yet straight enough to hold any line you put it on. Anhyzers? Check. Dead-straight tunnels? Check. Hyzer-flip approaches? Double check.
• Beaded Bliss: That classic Wizard bead on the rim provides a consistent resting spot for your index finger, ensuring your release is as repeatable as a metronome.
