How to practice follow-through when putting, and why it's so important

One of the most important aspects of proper disc golf putting form also

happens to be counter-intuitive to the way people usually first learn

to throw a flying disc. I'm talking follow-through, which in a classic

putting motion means thrusting the throwing (putting) hand forward

toward the target, as opposed to 'flinging' the disc from the side like

a tossing a Frisbee at the beach.

A different set of muscles are involved, so it not only feels weird… Continue

Putting practice, indoors, without a basket

I travel fairly frequently, and I end up spending a decent

amount of waking hours in a hotel room. Even when I'm in places that

have courses near enough to get in a quick round, I usually just scurry

around the course, note it's highlights despite the fact that it's no

DeLaveaga, then split. When I'm on the road, I rarely get in any putting

practice at all.

So one time I pulled out my putters in the hotel room, wedged myself in one corner, and aimed for a… Continue

A Time to Drill It

I used to over-simplify my approach to putting tempo, using the logic

that the disc should have just enough on it to run out of gas and fall

into the chains with just enough power left to slip into the cage. That way, more marginal putts will fall in, and those that miss will usually end up close enough for a drop-in. But

on further examination, it's clear that different situations… Continue

Played one round with my wife Val and my 5 yr old Jonathan.I played good but I came as close to kicking my bag or throwing a disc than I ever have. I am not frustrated that I dont seem to improve, its that I can't seem to stop missing 3-10ft putts ALL THE TIME!.I must be doing something wrong and I can't seem to iron it out with practice... years of practice!. A few months ago something kinda changed in my attitude. I didn't let it get to me even though it happened all the time, but now I am… Continue

Week 3: Discraft Putting Program

Week 3 ended yesterday and I'm still putting 30 minutes a day.

Even after throwing nearly 100 holes last weekend I still made time. Progress has been great! I started 3 weeks ago only 5 steps away from the basket and now 3 weeks later I'm feeling confident from 8 steps away. Not HUGE gains but undeniable, consistent, DAILY progress toward a goal.

What's the goal? Anything better than 50% from 10 meters. I want to know when I'm inside the circle, I can step up and… Continue
