I know, I know, please forgive the background noise, we couldn’t control it and had a limited time to do this lesson!

[@Picklemedia]

I couldn't find a comment complaining about the noise. Just be yourself and don't apologize

[@BaysingersDiscGolfChannel]

I love how Scott just took this over and made it his own video. He is such a great dude and the best teacher. Hope we see an update on your putting after this video

[@DiscGolfKid]

I know right? That was genuinely unscripted, we were totally prepared to do a forehand tutorial with him 😂

[@freddiecrunk9499]

well, DGK did say he was now going to take over

@@DiscGolfKid lol I don't doubt that one bit. He is awesome lol

[@radagascar1]

Lmao, what a legend. Shows up, scraps the plan, tells you your form sucks and keeps rolling 😂

[@frankhaula]

Biggest lie in this video was that he told you he was going to perfect your put in 30 minutes. He did it in 15.

[@frankhaula]

Absolutely awesome vid, kid. Thank you.

[@DiscGolfKid]

Ahaha thanks man!

[@bretthamaker917]

Lol....might wanna work on your priorities!

[@BillFromAZ]

One thing I noticed was that with his original putt style, the putter wobbled. Once he did the straight back and forward the putter didn't wobble anymore.

[@leksasdf]

Yeah I really hope he himself realized that. That's what the riddance of off axis torque does.

[@nateridgewaymusic]

I noticed that also!

[@Two_Buck]

Every Scott Stokely tutorial is gold.

[@softpool1286]

Your dad telling him 980 off the tee 880 putting is hilarious! Throwing you under the bus! hahaha great video!

[@DiscGolfKid]

😂 I mean he’s not wrong - but yeah I wasn’t ready to hear that! Glad you liked 🤙🏼

[@leevikv]

What do the numbers mean

[@jppbkm]

@@leevikv A 1000 rating is roughly an average/lower level professional rated player. 880 is an average-to-poor amateur player, probably with less than 2 years experience.

[@tillman40]

The greatest players get help with their profession. The late Neil Peart considered one of the greatest drummers, would seek lessons before they went to record their next album. Stay Humble

[@matthewmckinney1043]

Honesty that helped you improve

[@thekeyfox]

I think it’s about time for your one-month follow up video! Boom 💪

[@Wizardboz]

Why is this guy so good at teaching disc golf!! He helped my forehand and now he’s gonna save my putting game. I love how he breaks down the motion and why it’s important vs the wrong motion.

[@DiscGolfKid]

It’s so true, he really does have a gift!

[@alanpipkin8212]

I just did a clinic with him this past Friday in Savannah. He's such a legend, and knows how to simplify the game. As he says, its not easy, but disc golf is simple.

[@rigormortis8974]

Freaking love Scott been following him since the 90s makes my game better with his words.

[@Berigan725]

Scott is the best. Everything he teaches makes sense. Its not like "you need to keep your elbow 90 degrees". How are you ever gonna be able to make your body just do that on queue in 75 mph? Scott is gonna come up with something magic that instead forces your body to do the correct thing instead of you having to think about it. Like, "put your foot like this and your body will do that". Love it!

[@R.L.U.]

I had the pleasure of teaming up with Scott in 2017 Victoria Open pregame Tourney. Thanks to him we got 2nd place haha. Great Guy!

[@Since-UniqueOriginalPersonaliz]

I'm a big fan of sport Godfathers. Kudos to the youngsters for respecting his knowledge.

[@ryry562000]

Scott's a great teacher, I met him in the late 90s and he came by our league every year and did clinics. He thought me how to throw alot further

[@DiscGolfKid]

I love hearing that, I’m so new to the sport that I just learned about him in the past year!

[@rfinnegan7106]

The hold is good for EVERY shot. You will learn way more about how your throws did what they did. Wind knowledge goes way up after that as well.

[@sixstringedwithabowl]

This reminded me of the first time I got a job as a snowboard instructor in Vermont. I thought I was awesome at riding, and the instructors told me I was shit. I knew nothing technical and the way they reworked my form and created a new rider out of me was a magical two month process. He’s a fantastic instructor and this was really cool to watch

[@tkddad71]

This is Golden content. Simplifying your putting form is exactly what you needed. Breaking it down the way he did shows what a great teacher he is. Teaching with the pattern helps you remember it too. Tell you what he’s teaching. Explanation. Have you do it. Teach you. Repeat what he taught you. Verbal repetition. Explain why it’s important to remember what he taught you. Reinforce. A real master instructor if I’ve ever seen one.

[@JustAnteX]

What an absolute lad.. Such good tips.. Gonna use a lot of these good tips!

[@DiscGolfKid]

🤙🏼

[@paxtonneal5]

Being able to hear your form is “awful” and take that criticism to improve, is just as important as good putting and driving💪

[@Meta-Drew]

Wow, I realized I wasn't rocking forwards and backwards in a straight line with the basket, the past two putting sessions I have made a conscious effort to keep everything in line with the basket and I have been making a ton of putts, so glad Scott decided to critique your putting, his stuff was a huge help.

[@DiscGolfKid]

Boomsauce!

[@erknjerk35]

This video instantly upped my putt game. Now I need to drill it in and and translate it to the course.

[@DiscGolfKid]

I’m glad it helped!

[@bryansans2564]

Best coach i've ever listened to. He just makes sense. I've learned all my better form tips from Senor Stokely.

[@JohnDubU]

I threw my first disc 3 weeks ago. Been practicing putting in my basement. Those 3 tips improved my putting dramatically... follow through was my favorite. Smash.

[@philg6115]

He's the best, i was driving 200 ft. Now im driving 500 ft. Go to his clinics, greatest ever

[@dust-yo]

I've watched quite a few putting videos, and this is the one that has the most actionable advice. I'm excited to work on my short game, and that is a first.

[@BIZARBIES]

You're so lucky. Scott is the best teacher I've ever seen break it down. His knowledge of the game, the total game, mechanics, mindset, and history of disc golf is second to none. Legend.

[@DiscGolfKid]

👆🏼facts

[@seandachtler365]

Scott Stokely is a coaching god. So good at simplifying mechanics and approach to technique.

[@DiscGolfKid]

Fact!

[@Precisionmagert]

He definitely is a legend. He great insight and knowledge of the game

[@DiscGolfKid]

For sure 🤙🏼

[@davidrandall8201]

Never heard of this guy, I'm not sure how... dudes a legend, one of the best DG videos I've ever seen!

[@tommytrask777]

Scott is an awesome guy. He is a testament to the sport growing in the massive way that it has.

[@Phoenix22344]

Honestly, the best putting instructional I have watched on youtube.

[@DiscGolfKid]

I’m so happy to hear that!

[@usuallinkinultimate]

Love how he just says it straight as well, if you're doing X it cannot possibly be right. Hate coaches that sugar coat or try to make it seem like you're doing things almost right and just need minor tweaks.

[@TrippPrichard]

Scott is da bomb!! true playa!!

[@TarverKing]

This is gold

[@noerendon1428]

This is some of the BEST disc golf content anywhere! Scott Stokely is the MAN! What a legend. This quick lesson covers all you need to improve your putting game. One of the most complete & accurate putting clinics I've ever seen on any channel. Thank you both DGK & Scott...

[@KingMartus]

Amazing video and thank you so much for taking the time to make it! Shout out to Scott Stokely, he is a phenomenal teacher.

[@DiscGolfKid]

For sure!

[@justinbaucom9815]

Wow this was gold and will change everything I am going to implement these changes today.

[@fernwogteveril6935]

I love how he talked about identifying why you are missing. That helpless feeling of not knowing how to improve can really be discouraging.

[@CentralOSurvival]

Scott is great. Great video man!

[@JDevisMusic]

Nice lesson. Never thought that way about putting! Say hello to Scott from Ukraine. We are always open to seeing him here in Kyiv)

[@rfinnegan7106]

Knowing the best teacher is a great start.

[@DiscGolfKid]

for real😂

[@chadrobinson7234]

"But I'm assuming a lot of you don't know who he is" Wow that's cold bro.

[@DiscGolfKid]

3 years ago when I filmed this, most disc golfers didn’t. If you did that’s great, but my viewers (especially back then) were mostly newer players like myself at that time

[@chadrobinson7234]

@@DiscGolfKid Ok, but if you think people don't know him, you don't need to say that. Just go ahead with the introduction. Because otherwise it might seem insulting to someone that's been around so long and contributed so much to the sport, but Stokely being the classy guy that he is certainly wouldn't show it outright.

[@DiscGolfKid]

@@chadrobinson7234 definitely not living my life worried about someone reading into everything lol

[@chadrobinson7234]

@@DiscGolfKid Ok, fair enough. I wish you good luck on your disc golf journey!

[@rjwalker4153]

I have seen some of his vids before and I like the way Scott keeps it simple. I can always understand what he's saying. It doesn't always mean I'm going to do it right, but at least I know what I'm supposed to do.

[@DiscGolfKid]

He’s so good at keeping it simple.

[@ventarfield7115]

Been a fan of Scott. Will keep being a fan. Great job getting the legend on. I bet you got better. I know I did.

[@DiscGolfKid]

Yeah man that’s what it’s all about 🤙🏽

[@BLAZEX09]

Great tutorial, very valuable information!

[@BillFromAZ]

Okay....watched the video and I've seen other ones from Scott on putting, but this was the first time I heard him talk about finding your balance. I just tried it in my house, picked a spot 6 feet away, started rocking, closed my eyes, kept rocking for a bit, and opened my eyes while still rocking. My aim point was one foot to the right. Now guess where my common miss from 6 foot is....yep, one foot right. I kept adjusting my stance and returning until I didn't move off line. Saw how my feet and body were positioned so I can take the new stance to the course. I'm excited to test it out. Thank you for this video.

[@titledisc6486]

I loved the rocking back and forth thing. THAT really has me thinking. Thanks for having such a legend on the channel. I remember way back in the late 90's watching him throw (forehand!) X-Clone's across the Brazos river (~500') in Waco while we waited for scores to be tabulated.

[@cowboyclip]

Damn Scott bringing the heat right off the bat lmao “nah son, today we’re gonna putt”

[@dineshanblazahan9843]

Can’t agree more to it … his teaching is perfect , my putting improved a lot by just following his process …

[@tonymalikowski4902]

So good to see you getting help from a great teacher. After 20 years of playing good practice rounds and putting badly in tournaments I found a video of a Scott Stokely putting clinic on KZbin and it changed my disc golf life. Added 40 points to my player rating with some of those same simple ideas. Upshots get a lot easier if you don't have to put it in the bullseye every time.

[@TheGunnarsig]

This video was amazing, he did such a great job breaking this down in easy steps.

[@yourdudemoose]

Posting this now on 4/13/21 I vow to follow those 3 rules and next month on the same day i will post my results here. See yall next month, lets get the work in guys and gals!!

Lets see it dude! Been a month and 2 days, hows it going?

[@tristinpowell1818]

This is golden information

[@notbhavn]

To correct my left and right misses, I've adopted the "Nut to Putt" mindset. I bring it down to my midsection and then propel it forward. Still working on the spin and release, but I'm not missing left or right anymore. Thank you Phil B.

[@DiscGolfKid]

😂😂😂

[@ZillaCrew]

Living legend! That was awesome advice and instruction. He broke that form down quickly and precisely and showed easy to understand fundamentals in a way that translated almost instantly. That's a teacher.

[@DiscGolfKid]

He was so helpful!!

[@Reality9111]

This really is the best putting tutorial I've ever seen. Thanks!

[@robertcasko281]

I wish I had just one 5 minute lesson from a guy like this 20 years ago!

[@bmfj3104]

I hope to get a personal lesson from Scott someday. He was one of the best in his day...an OG for sure and a great teacher.

[@DiscGolfKid]

Dude hit him up, he’s such an interesting and helpful guy 🤙🏼

[@route5discgolf]

Another great video, awesome you had Scott on, he has so much great thoughts on the game and really cool to see one of his paid lessons. I think it would be worth it for any player to have him critique their form.

[@Vanbulance89]

This was fantastic. I can't wait to see the one month update video!

[@ryanwright4287]

Sometimes the truth absolutely sucks to hear but I was impressed with your ability to set aside your frustration and hear his words for what they were and not as a personal attack. Scott was impressive but you were even more impressive because I don't think you looked away from him the entire video... Completely focused on the chance to get some trade secrets and on the spot form correction, and you took full advantage. I can't wait to see you on some tournament coverage.

I appreciate the help , I do. It just seems that having a pro giving a lesson/demonstration that you would have a basket for better visual. Thank you

[@DiscGolfKid]

Definitely appreciate the comment, but we were telling the truth about this being a forehand lesson. This wasn’t staged, or we definitely would have had a basket, it was planned to be a forehand lesson where obviously a basket wouldn’t be needed. 🤙🏽

[@truthseeker0219]

This was awesome! A legend and a future legend working on their craft! Love it

[@DiscGolfKid]

I sure hope you’re right, glad you liked it!

[@timhorton8085]

The lightswitch moment for me, i started putting my left hand on my belly and using that to feel the angle of my upper body. I used to put just slightly bladed from the target. I started putting with my shoulders square and my left foot dropped back like half a step. You have to rotate your hips just a bit to get back to square, but putts started feeling automatic. Its harder to miss left or right than it is to hit the basket.

[@LetsGoDiscGolf]
