Disc Golf putting clinic by David Feldberg (2011)

[@JarrettWBass]

I've had to come back to this video a few times. Best all around putt clinic I've ever seen.

[@ChrisEldridgeKino]

Hey Chris, I shot this video. Glad people are finding it useful.

[@Scott_AI5EF]

This video helped me more than any other putting video on KZbin.

[@CelticDave00]

I had surgery a couple of years ago and took the opportunity during my recovery to change my putting style based on this video. I keep coming back to it to adjust and improve. Thanks Dave Feldberg for taking the time to help all of us :)

[@terryhasseler5127]

Thank you Dave Feldburg. This helps so much. I have watched it three times now and keep adjusting each time I go out. You explain things so well. Thank you again.

[@jjr007]

My putting has improved 100% after watching this video, thanks Dave.

[@jakew37]

This is still the best putting clinic on KZbin

[@briangosnell9521]

I come back to this video when my putting is off

[@nathanhaigler8139]

That double putt method for balance and strength is brilliant. That’s how you get the body mechanics necessary for consistent putting

[@grootafx]

Insane twist ending!

[@cassie1375]

Awesome video. Definitely has helped me improve my putting

[@kevinsBiblicaldiscussions]

I love disc golf! Great video

[@matthewgibson799]

Lmao I always circle back to this amazing video when I find my putt a lil off

[@EchoesOfSummer]

This video is full of great tips on how to properly and consistently make a push putt. Listen close to him!

[@tobin0405]

Dave is rad. This should be the push putters credo. Thanks

[@MegaFlorest]

Push putts add something to the equation: release point along the arc. Most spin putters have a small amount of vertical travel in their stroke: Rico, Anthon, Dunipace, and MJ (who starts the disc just below the sternum, and releases about chin height. 10 inches of travel as seen here:) www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0f-...utu.be&t=3m41s Versus the 30+ inches of travel seen here, on Ricky's last putt before winning World's...well, 2nd to last: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5_Oep93j5mGh6cm8s That's the hardest challenge for me push putting. Next would be spin. A disc doesn't fly without a certain amount of it. A spin putter divides the effort between the elbow and wrist, where as a push putter generates it solely at the wrist or in the extreme, the base knuckle of the hand (finger pop). The closer the force to the fulcrum, the weaker the lever. A lot of required force is left to a smaller lever, and a smaller error has a bigger consequence.

[@discgolfinrude]

There's nothing wrong with trying to learn with your other hand, but it might be difficult task. Other options I can think of is using Nikko's style that is based on a straddle that doesn't move. If you push putt like doss or mccabe you can using a squatting type of motion to generate your power.

[@tiasboi3able]

I would think the softer, flexible putter would grab the chain better than a firm putter. Do they make a firm, "grabby" putter? I currently use the Wizard

[@LexGoChill]

Great video! Glad I stayed til the end so I could see Feldberg getting bonked on the noggin.

[@jjr007]

To Bret Unger, you don't try to eliminate spin, you just don't consciously try to impart it. Your fingers do it I think, as you are lifting it up going from a 10 o'clock position to 12 o'clock.

[@Chris.Davies]

Hello Chris - I am very sorry I could not track you down to seek your permission, and I am super happy you're OK with it being here. Thanks very much for the great video - it's by far the most popular thing I've ever uploaded - sadly. :P One day...

[@JPizzle7409]

Yes its opposite of your dominant eye. I tried this out and it works!

[@bertmollar]

lol who hit him in the head at the end?

[@randallkadish5663]

So when push putting does our arm and thumb point directly at the target or do they point slightly to the side like our front foot? in other words, where is the thumb pointing when the disc is lowered all the way?

[@TheCookiechris]

this is gold!

[@MrMmorpgartard]

Is nobody gonna mention that mr feldburg, who I greatly respect... Was teaching you how to toss salad at around 15 min in.

[@bret1575]

No spin on the disc? How does it fly then? I've tried this technique and can't get it to work unless I put at least a touch of spin on it.

[@wildcat31772]

So by this logic. If i'm right handed but Left Eye dominant I should aim slighting right of pole while putting?

[@asmithers4420]

was this video taken at de la raza?

[@sfincione2000]

Hey Dave, you should do a video with the salad bowl =) it'd be cool!

[@URAJFACE]

So where is he getting his power? His arm or is he pushing over his back leg

[@taylort3471]

power from back leg to front leg to shoulder

[@TG-nu7ii]

What if THEY DIDNT KNOW WHO YOU ARE DAVE

[@drvn1]

So who was it Dave said was the best spin putter ever?

[@Malaki236]

Ron Russell

[@astvaldureinarjonsson1375]

simon lizotte hehe :P

[@dustin85677]

In a different video, Dave mentions that Mike Moser was one of the best spin putters (at one point in his past).. Paul McBeth and Ron Russell are great too.

[@astvaldureinarjonsson1375]

Dustin Peterson paul mcbeth isnt a spin putter tho so thats why he didnt mention him cause he arguably is the best putter in the world tho

[@purchasemail]

What did he say?

[@jamesgregory3593]

I'm confused to as to where he says the bead of the putter should sit on your finger. Could someone clarify?

[@Nitron2097]

The line of your first knuckle on your index finger. It doesn't have to be there, though. As long as your index finger is underneath the rim to allow you to lift the nose of the disc and get it to float, you should be okay. I've started push putting and I use beadless Aviars.

[@sukitbiatch4766]

James Gregory feldberg is so critical on the break down its ridiculous. wherever is comfy.

[@iconone5]

So much info! Is all this info still correct?

[@smokestakz]

of course it is....these types of tips don't change......aslong as putters are putters and baskets are baskets this info is solid.....but, this is Feldberg's method.....as far as im concerned the best putters in DG are Locastro, McBeth and Rico...and those are three polarizing putting styles so start putting how you feel is most comfortable then look at the pros to see which one puts the most like you and try to learn from them...im a spin putter, ive tried this style of putting and all I get is wobbles...im sticking with spin putting, he makes it sound a lot less accurate than it is...aslong as you release the disc at the point in space you intend to you are good...the crosshair point is good but you shouldn't be aiming at invisible crosshairs, just aim at a spot on or around the basket and hit that point in space....now it gets harder the more low speed fade your putter has...but I putt with discmania p1 maniacs (basically they are the original grid stamped aviar molds in star plastic....same mold as far as I can tell.....fn 2-3-0-0...) that's my .02$

[@astvaldureinarjonsson1375]

Synapsis you are really wrong if you are not putting ricky up there with those top putters of yours and yeah i agree with you that sticking with spin putt is not a bad idead just look at lizotte on of the best putters and he is a really agressive spin putter

[@smokestakz]

bro, this is my OPINION....in my OPINION Wysocki isn't in my top 3 putters...hes a great all around player and would be in me top 3 players (McBeast, Wysocki and Lizotte) but im just giving my opinion on putters.

[@a_void]

48:32 headshot

[@sukitbiatch4766]

48:32 LOLOLOL i wish it was a destroyer though,,,,,,

[@matthewl1187]

This makes a Ricky Wysocki clinic look like garbage. Feldberg is a great teacher.

[@tylersherman3256]

matthewl1187 Well Feldberg has a teaching degree and has been around almost as long as Ricky has been alive lol. They are both amazing putters and Ricky is undoubtedly the best in the world.

[@flyingfishsurf]

Feldberg is the king of the illegal walk-through step putt. Change the rules. Please move the circle out to @18 metres, then run it at the basket all day. This guy doinks more putts than he should and he is going to cause the PDGA to redefine the circle with his illegal putts. I like to lift my right heel slightly at the point of follow through. That way I don't doink the bottom of the basket so much on the 30 footers. Also, I don't like the beaded putters. Putting is very personalized and individual. Yoga is great practice for the one footed, balanced follow through without foot faulting. Practice the Dandayamana Dhanurasana pose.

Lamesauce.

[@jameseastham4094]

This has got to be one of the stupidest things I have ever seen, this is not a sport, go try real golf!

[@TheMRFREAK911]

glad to know your opinion.

[@seewhy4395]

go back to watching golf videos little guy

[@mrsir1872]

Hey. Go fuck yourself James.

[@Crypticwolf98]

You're the one who looked up "Disc Golf videos" James. You're the one who clicked on the video. You don't have to get involved with this sport, don't degrade things you know nothing about. So go back to swinging your rods and nailing your balls, wearing your goofy ass golf pants and play your "real golf".

[@GuardiansOfNorth]

Golf is for old farts with too much money
