So here is the deal. When i first started almost a year ago i was putting with an aviar. Since then i have tried the magnet, the challenger, the wizard, and the Omega Supersoft. Just recently i started putting with the aviar again. I seem to putt better with the aviar. Should i stick with with the aviar or should i try something else???

Stick with the Aviar -- the rest are just clones anyways :D
it is like asking what guitar to play. a Les Paul, a Strat, a Telecaster -- you can learn on any of them -- it is all about practice.
find one that feels good and then learn to play well with it.

What's ur putting style? what kind of aviar did u start with bb, classic, p&a? also what plastic? I have found that it really doesnt matter what you putt with as long as you trust it and feel comfortable. I've seen people be amazing with birdies and pirannas and people suck it up with aviars. So pick what you feel comfortable with and putt.

Yeah, but a Paul Reed Smith is better then all of them, and the Wizard is the Paul Reed Smith of discs! :D

Willie hit the nail right on the head. Putting is not about the disc. One of the most consistent putters I have met putts with a Roc.
Go to www.discgolfreview.com (http://www.discgolfreview.com ) and read up on their putting sections. I would also recommend getting 5+ of the same putter in the same weight and plastic, 5-175 Aviar P&As or 5-175g Wizards. Practice with those and you will become more consistent.
You can putt with any putter as long as you really believe that you are going to make the putt.

If your the most comfortable with the Aviar, then stick with that.
Practice your form and get consistent. It physically does not matter what disc you are using. At the extremely slow speeds that most people putt at, all the discs are on the stable side.

Rhyno's - impervious to wind, no glide, only go as far as you WANT them to go, hold any line and always hyzer and stop when they hit the ground, the pro's are so soft they melt when you hit chains and just fall into the cage. I have dropped my scores by an average of 3 strokes with rhyno's, Also, the champs are money midranges inside of 300ft
.....just as walter haney if rhyno's are money

I used to think that the putter did not matter until I found the Rhyno.

It's not the putter, it's the putter. Another way to cut down on the number of putts per round is to throw your shots closer to the basket. The best advice is try them all and use the one that is the most comfortable for you.

Putting is primarily mental.
It is important to be comfortable and confident.
I personally like the wizard. For me it feels very comfortable in my hand. Secondly I feel it is wind resistant without the overstability fade I've experienced with other putters- knowing this gives me confidence.
Once you've made your decision, commit to it and practice your arse off. This helps to boost both comfort and confidence.
If you're having a bad day don't blame your disc. If my normal putt is off, sometimes I'll switch to a straddle or do some putting exercises between rounds that appear to fix my faults. But no matter what stick to that same putter.

Rhyno! Rhyno's are rhyno's, everything else is just a putter.

i tried them all and the spider feels the best and gives me the cleanest release. they also fly like a rhyno from inside 80' or so. that made the mental difference to me.

As someone wrote, putting is mental, but you have to find something that is comfortable. So some tips:
Try out the new Banger, lies very comfortable in the hand (well, that is my hand).
Ching Juju is also a gem, works very well as a approach disc also.
The new Latitude Sinus SP looks like a winner also.
Millenium SSP (Aviar SB Putter mold) is my personal favorite.

EXACTLY! nice call.
go for the arrow by aerobie...that way you can eliminate it immediately and concentrate on real putters...(sorry roberts, nice mini though)
