3 Reasons Your Putting Practice Isn't Working!! | Beginner Disc Golf Tips

[@mhoovair89]

Big agree that same mold same weight same plastic is a big help. Once I finally started doing that I noticed a considerable change in the effectiveness of my putting practice on the actual course. Even practicing got better too.

[@AdamsRosebreak]

I've been putting in my basement when I have free time. I have a cheap basket with barely any chains, so it's really forcing me to putt at the pole or else I spit out. Guess my cheapness has been helping me all along 😂

[@chrisdavies7564]

Hey Robbie, I combined a few of your putting tips from the past with what you spoke to hear and thought I’d share. I’ve adopted your 3 putter practice for what feels like a year now (a tremendous help by itself). If I make all 3 I take a step back. If I miss all three I take a step forward. 1-2 misses and I stay put. What I’ve tried recently is only moving back if all three putts feel good (no wobble out of the hand, right side of the chains, etc.). More than just making the putt, I want to adopt what you’re saying in the video and make good putts and develop a sense of what feels right and what doesn’t. So far so good!

[@kevinlewis9906]

My new years resolution is 30,000 practice putts, and just got some chains for the backyard. I am a bit behind schedule, but it is winter in Colorado, and at 2,822 total so far I will get there. Robbie C, this video was perfect for what I needed to hear.

[@danielnichter49]

Apologies in advance if this gets wordsy. I took your advice and got ten copies of my putter. I set up a home made basket that has two configurations. The goal is either 14x14 or much smaller at 10x12. I shoot 100 putts every other day and track my % at 15 and 20 feet. When the weather and my % improve, I will be doing 20 and 25 feet. I puked myself out of entering a tournament in December because my putt game had no confidence. Well now I have thrown 1000 more putts and my confidence is improving every day. I know it doesn't sound impressive, but yesterday I went 10/10 during practice and it felt incredible.

[@bernan1]

it is amazing how quick one can see results. When I started my goal was 200 a day. Within a week the difference was notable. Literally. Which is what got me to practice even more. Eventually the improvement curve begins to flatten a bit, but usually not for some time. I'd also recommend Brodie Smith's vid on putting. Some fantastic ideas in it.

[@ChristopherWadsworth_]

As someone who is newer to disc golf, I feel like a deep dive into a ton of different putting terms and forms would be super helpful

[@johnshepherd6925]

Push putt is more of almost a horseshoe throw with not much spin. Spin putting is opposite. Instead of popping it off of your fingers, it's more of a direct spin towards the basket. Not sure if this helped but there ya go 😂

[@nicholaslott4575]

Reason my putting practice isn't working, is because I simply haven't practiced my putting... Life happens. Lol! Love your content man! We should throw in GA one day. Boundary Waters is home course.

[@bernan1]

one of the most honest comments I've seen. :D

[@nicholaslott4575]

Lol, yeah, gotta hold yourself accountable sometimes!

[@curtisyoung7947]

You basically confirmed that how I practice is a good thing. I get bored with only practicing straight to the basket, so I started thinking about scramble shots and courses I play that have unique basket placement. I change it up and it brings fun into practice. Thanks for all you do!! - Curtis

[@Jim3Mix]

Great video! I’m just starting to develop a putting practice routine, and I really didn’t know what to do to help me to improve my putting. The video has some great tips that I’ve never heard anywhere else. Thanks very much!

[@wishbon77]

I got a basket for Christmas so I have been putting in my carport. Diffenely have the 10, 15 and 25 set up. This was a very helpful video today.

[@kieronmckay4276]

I would highly recommend yes buying a couple putters in the same plastic and same weight any time you're trying out a new putter...If you've only got the hodge podge set of putters, rank them from least stable to most stable, and throw them in order of stability. Throwing randomly, particularly if you're practice 25-30+ ft will decrease your effectiveness. While ranking and throwing them in order of stability will give your body the chance to slowly make adjustments, and potentially help you find the right putter stability more clearly for you. Regardless of what you do though, the best thing you can do is focus on what about your putt makes your putt go in, and what happened when you miss. Slow down and really focus on the fine motor details, the setup of your body, shoulders, feet, amount of pop, everything. You'll figure out fairly quickly what about your individual putt stroke gives you better chances to go in if you do, which will help you self correct when things feel off. Ie... most of my off days I pull them right, which can be a few things, but a vast majority of the time it's simply a late/high release. So I can focus on lowering that release point and usually correct it, and worst case I'll put a slight hyzer on my putt if it's really pulling right.

[@timlieder9324]

Would like a stage two video discussing strategies to expand your comfortable putting range. I'm happy with my 20-25 ft putts, 25-30 I can make them frequently but I don't count on them. Outside C1 I'm probably better off laying up.

[@robertgordon8912]

The disc golf gods heard you!! Infinite Discs has a putter pack sale going on right now

[@zacharyclemons9167]

Perfectly timed for my lunch break, thanks Robbie!

[@LerrinB]

Robbie C = Putting GOAT!

[@stephenscott4687]

This makes a lot of sense. Thanks Robbie. I feel like my putting stroke is good but I forget to use my legs when I get to the course.

[@thebr0wnhornet]

I had that problem until I switched to straddle putting. You absolutely have to use your legs. Another plus, Kristin Tattar said she does it bc then when you have to straddle around something it’s just your normal putt

[@thebr0wnhornet]

I’m a musician and the best advice about practicing gets to the heart of what you’re saying - perfect practice makes perfect Repetitions don’t matter if you’re making a ton of mistakes. You will get better faster if you play slow and perfect than at tempo with errors

[@user-ql4le5pc4j]

Wizards are awesome. I throw different wizards in different temps. Winter: 3s glow or Lunar soft Fall: Coffee or Hemp 2s Summer: Special blend, Lunar Firm or Eraser

[@TimVTDG]

The beginning of January has been refinding my putting form and find which putter will be my 2024 putter. Finally think I found it with the cohort. Now it's time for weekly putting practice to dial it.

[@FreshMattyJ]

I kind of missed the chain sounds but thanks for reminding me to stay consistent! I basket in my yard has helped so much for just getting out and putting everytime I take the dog out or something

[@OverthrowDiscGolf]

This video is for me. I haven’t even watched it yet.

[@jamesfarabaugh6669]

I have so many one-off putters wasting away in my field box. I just changed putters again simply because I want a practice stack and couldn't find a multi-pack deal on Logics. So out go my two Logics, even though I do like them, and in come the Marvels because I was able to get two for my bag and a 6-pack for practice at a good price. And they putt well for me.

[@a.j.5108]

I one heard Uli say you should practice hitting the pole and getting the disc to land upside down in the cage. If you can stack 5 upside down discs, you're doing well.

[@baustin612]

the fatigue leads to bad habits due to compensation is a great tip, never thought about that... thanks Robbie.

[@jeffperry6969]

Awsome stuff as usual. Made me think about the way I practice putting.

[@throwdirty]

Hey Robbie! Would love to see you revisit some of your older videos like how to score better and how to win 90% of your cards as a beginner. I think the knowledge you've gained over the last several years since those videos would be interesting to see.

[@listondavis]

Not sure if the mic change was recent or I just haven't watched one of your videos in a while, but the new setup sounds good.

[@82tonypr]

I just want to ask. How you doing Robbie? You having a good one? Love your videos, love your attitude!

[@mhoovair89]

Also agree limiting the "pitch count" helps. And not overdoing it beause you can over do it, sometimes not enough to cause an injury right away but can cause one easier when you’re not getting rest days

[@Ger9ng]

Lots of great tips here, a few I can take with me as well. And that new microphone.. WOW! I did miss the sound of chains, though. You might need one to stick onto the basket as well :D

[@kauisurfer13]

New audio sounds great but maybe a little to close or muting out too much background noise. For instance, we still need to hear those chains!! One of the best parts of disc golf 😄🙏

[@dakotacoates7070]

I am doing good Robbie thank you

[@stevesimer6342]

I use ‘dgputt’ to make the putting practice challenging and so that there is a little pressure. I do use all the same discs, plastic, weight, etc. I have been practicing more for the new year….i. A noodle arm…300-325 is my max distance….so putting is important for me to compete. I’ll never be able to out throw everyone, but there is no reason I can’t out putt them!

[@bhausdorf]

I’m also switching to Wizards! I love the SSS that the Foundation Halloween box has and the SS, can’t decide which one I’m sticking with

[@malamala421]

I love the Wizard! I just got a 4 pack of hemp blend SSS that I’m excited to practice with 🤙🏼 Should help with consistency!

[@ogdiscgolfer]

Really good stuff Robbie! I love the putting tool box reference and the idea of overpracticing. And, yes you need to work on that Flick putt! :D

[@DiscGolfCharlie]

I practice for 15 mins or so. I start with a bunch 15'-20' straight forward putts. then I switch to "odd" putts (over, through or around cat tree since basket is indoor right now). I do seem to struggle translating to course though.

[@nathanmoore7118]

Thing I’ve been doing that’s really helped is true goal setting. Take 100 putts from x distance and mark how many you made. Keep that in a spreadsheet and track your progress. Gives me solid real data to assess and work towards something

[@bernan1]

Brodie Smith has a video that does a similar thing. You throw 100 putts from 'x' distance. If you get 85% 3 times in a row (different days usually) then you move the distance back 5 feet. This is in addition to other practice stuff. I will say, if you're out hitting that at 25 feet, you'll likely be about 80% C1x.

[@patrickpoteete4824]

Robbie welcome to the wizard gang friend.

[@johnshepherd6925]

Interesting! I'm trying to putt daily on my days off. Im kinda a spush putter but more push than spin. Im working on spin putts but damn are they scary. Leaves me long combackers typically 😂

[@DarkRoastDiscGolf]

Doing grand, killing the Wingspan game over here

[@chrisgarbee]

Did a setup in my garage and I can practice 35 footers as well as elevated

[@mikethomas5451]

Thanks for ‘letting me off the hook’ as often when I practice putting I will start decent, get good then slowly get worse and worse. I know why but feel I was supposed to push through it.

[@friscobaldo]

The stack of randomly assorted putters was totally me 😂

[@lesfritzemeier8900]

My normal putt is a hyzer, but it feels tough to aim at distance. Any comments on hyzer vs flat putts for a slush putt?

[@fenrirdiscgolf]

I am at that point where I need to find that "rhythm" when it comes to putting. I have dropped multiple positions into a few different tournaments due to missing a 10 or 15 foot putt and it ruins the rest of my round because I'm over thinking every putt after that

[@austing7820]

Yeah I kinda hurt myself putting with a eclipse envy

[@ToddsDiscGolf]

The quality on your audio 🤌🤌🤌

[@dustinschneider935]

I am trying to get off the struggle bus so bad!!!!

[@Rellik137]

The problem I have with my putting are the following, I have putters yet none are the same mold; and I’m still developing my putting style. When I try to push putt it just drops midair and my spin putt is decent just not very accurate.

[@calebdyer6332]

my putting practice stack are all judges but plastic and weight varies. all are 173-175g and are on the stiffer side. I don't think there is enough difference between and 175 prime judge and a 174 classic judge to affect too much

[@TheZerplex]

Dont forget the naked wizards.

[@leopard3131]

I agree with your tips but I think the most common mistake is practicing missing. If you are not making 100% of your putts you are practicing missing, move closer. Hitting your target 100 % at 10 ft is your goal, then move further. Making 100% should be 80% of your putting practicing. Sure you can, and should, practice your circle 2 putts, but all too often people start at circle edge and spend 30 minutes making 10 % of your putts. I give up on a distance when I miss 50% or more. You also need to practice different types of putts. From a knee. Hyzer. Anhyzer. Nose up. Float.. etc

[@user-rq6zb7mc4d]

If you have a basket take the chains off and practice with it for a bit I swear it works better than any other drill

[@cfrasermusic]

I'm practicing but often times i've got a baby in the other hand adn that's messing with me. Thoughts?

[@thegrizzly52]

Do you spin putt or push putt the baby?

[@cfrasermusic]

@@thegrizzly52 more of a cornhole toss

[@davismorehead2494]

I have found that after 120 putts or so my wrist really hurts. So I stop at 100

[@thomasdivine5825]

Some of my putts, feel smooth and confident. But then the other half feels forced 🤔 Hopefully this stops happening

[@jacobhollingsworth632]

Roll Tide, Robbie.

[@jordanpridemore9618]

First comment. Boom sauce.

[@davismorehead2494]

My biggest problem is not executing my form. I know what I need to do but don’t do it

[@thegrizzly52]

Muscle memory dawg
