I cracked my main putter, a 175 soft Wizard yesterday, right before an Ice Bowl today. It was the only putter I'd actually put into a basket in the last 6 months. It had a dimple where I put my thumb everytime I threw.

RIP

What have you guys done in the past when cracking such an essential disc to your game? Just go through the long arduous process of getting such a perfect putter again?

I have been using a rattler for a while, and it's beat in just right. As I realize that it may break, I have been slowly breaking in three other rattlers while I practice. While this doesn't help your immediate situation, it may be useful in the long run. More Wizards. Buy them five at a time!

You sound like a guy whos girlfriend/wife just left him. Mourn for awhile then go out and find a new putter and fall in love all over again. :p

Seriously tho, it's (partially) a mental thing. I keep 2 putters in my bag. One heavy (175) and one lighter (mid 160s). I favor one over the other but if the shot or conditions call for the other putter I'm not afraid to go with it. Plus if I'm not putting well I have something else to try.

I'm sorry for your loss.

The same thing happend to me with my aviar not to long ago. But this is how I discovered Wizards, so it's not that bad of a thing. Now I do what Erik said, always have some backups ready incase you lose or damage one. Also I think having one just for putting and one for driving helps too.

That's why I have 15 big bead grid aviars. One real beat up soon retired. Other 5 are slighty used. 9 are brand new for later since it is discontinued :(

Shane,

Sounds like someone needs to call the Wambulence.

Waaaa, waaaaa, waaaaa... (insert flashing lights)

Shane, sorry to hear about your loss. Hope you find another wizard that works (just kidding ... i'm sure you will). Good luck.
PS. Very nice job on your website. Looks awesome. I bookmarked it!
