Another putting question

Over the last week or so i've kinda felt my putting has been slipping away I'm still solid out to 20 but i used be alot better. I was wondering what your putting form is, and what putter you use. I have been putting with soft bangers but i'm switching to r pro aviars because my banger is two years old so the aviars are the same stabillity and same softness. I really struggle to come close to the basket outside of 60'. Help me out!

i would just watch some of your local pros and ask questions, use what works best for you. another idea is go to youtube and watch the best players in the world putt and take the best from them. I would help you but it is very hard without seeing you throw and showing you how to fix it. don't be afraid to ask questions from people around you area.

Practice, practice, practice !!! Having said that, what Brad said is good advice, see what your local pro's are doing, ask lots of questions, and use what works for you. Over the years I've tried several different styles, and several different putters. What works for me might not work for you, but the 1 thing that works for everyone is PRACTICE ! I make a little game out of it, 10 throws from 15' 10 from 20' 10 from 25' and 10 from 30' then 10 from 50' then I'll move back to 15' and start over. 100 putts, how many did I make? Other days I'll work on approach shots. 10 from 75' 10 from 100' 10 from 125' 10 from 150' putt out for all of them. Can I get everything inside 20' ? that's my goal, it's helped my short game a lot.

it can be the smallest detail. when someone told me to use my body for putting instead of just my arm i improved a lot. then i started missing a lot again and someone commented i had started to angle my disk towards me unconsciously and therefore i hit the roof of the basket a lot. and then its the mental thing, you have to really belive and thrust you will hit that basket, otherwhise you will miss no mather how close you are... practising a lot sure helps with that last bit!

CONFIDENCE, CONFIDENCE, CONFIDENCE, AND PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE.

Ditto! In most cases when someone losses consistency, something has changed. If you play with one person on a regular basis ask them to observe you to look for anything different about your technique. If you can't find it that way, you may have to start over making sure you do it the same way every time. I find that the discraft videos help a lot, especially "Putting Confidence." And as has already been stated practice, practice, practice.

[The FORCE]

Confidence. Trust that you are about to make that putt! If it is for deuce or if it is for double bogey, they are all just putts. When I tell myself I am about to putt I do the same thing everytime. I grab my putter. I put my foot behind the disc. I line up my putt. I make sure I am lined up and I look at the basket. I line up my putt and then I putt. Making sure I am in line with the basket takes a lot of the guess work out of my putting. If I feel like I don't know the distance of the putt I grip my disc hard which registers in my brain as how much grip I need to get the putt there. It makes my hand feel like the disc is secure and once I have that I am confident to putt. After that all you have to do is throw it straight until it rocks the chains. AND PRACTICE!!!

clear the mind,blank slate,and in a big round or tourney dont watch others putt,find your style-tech and stick with that,dont get involved how others putt,im starting to see guy immitate nate doss now,with the big wrist curl,thats his thing,every players different..so hit the practice basket and let your body show you how your form is.
