I'm having trouble finding a putter that feels good to me, I'm looking for something similar to a rhyno, the "brick" like feeling when you throw it. I'm having trouble finding reviews on the blow fly and gumb putt's, and was wondering if any of you guys have tried them out, and what your experiences are?
Thanks -Nick

I have a gumbputt that sits in a box in the garage. It's just way to soft for me. Think half cooked pasta soft.

Only in the winter because when's it's over 100 in the spring, summer, and most of fall, the Blow Fly gets too soft for me. In the winter I like the grip when my fingers are slick.
The blowfly feels like a flour tortilla.
Waay too soft.
I've used both as my primary putter. I started with the gumputt because I find the softer putter tends to grab the chains better and tends not to get too far away if it doesn't get in the basket. But now I put with the Blowfly because the flatter edge tends to limit 'grip lock'. I don't think of it as throwing a disc. I think more in terms of throwing a baseball in the same way I would throw a disc. It's not so much the angle of release but the amount of force you apply in the direction of the target. I had 3 putts in a round Sat. stick into the side of the basket on long putts to save par.
