How to Putt consistent with Gannon Buhr!

[@ryanholmes6601]

@@DC-zg8jk That's cool to hear, how did you know? They way he breaks down the mechanics of putting, is just awesome. His ability to explain it and translate how it should feel really made the difference. The first time I tried it on the course, the disc just flw completely different than it ever has for me. Low laser that felt too low out of the hand that just hit dead center from @ 35 feet. I normally have to lob them from that distance.

[@EugeeFGII]

Uh... holy shit. I've been playing for like 10 years and this is the first putting tip video in probably 6 years that was actually helpful. Initiating the putt with the elbow was like a straight up AHA! moment.

[@PWheat23]

Drive for show, putt for dough! They should be calling you Gannon Buhrdie!

[@maxray29]

I've consumed a ton of instructional disc golf content since picking up the sport in the past year, and these were all incredibly novel points I hadn't seen before, and you explained and demonstrated each of them extremely well. I look forward to continuing to learn from you as well as watch you have a tremendous amount of success on the course this season!

[@peterashworth5875]

16yo kid teaching me, a grown-ass man new stuff that really resonates! Great video Gannon!

[@mortendmortensen]

The most impressive thing is that it's just one take and still it's very well organized and clear. Any other 7 minute one taker on youtube is a mess.

[@lukenelson1931]

I couldn't agree more with this - picked up the sport about this summer and have watched a lot of stuff on KZbin. Watching two of Gannon's videos and I've heard him mention a few things already that I've not heard from anyone else.

[@affe15396]

This is probably the best putting advice i have ever heard👌

[@jordandavis3310]

"Bring the disc to your left knee" - Wow, I'm in awe. That change alone has really lined up my putts and given me a the few more feet of distance I needed! Thanks Gannon, you're killing it buddy. Keep it up.

[@joeillingworth1141]

This is great. This really helps dispel some of the historically bad DG teachings that we come across but fail to challenge hard enough because people say them so confidently. These videos are really breathing some fresh air into disc golf for me

[@Christopher-Lenz]

Scott stokely is a nice guy but never listen to his instructionals

[@ClarkPotter]

Like what?

[@ClarkPotter]

​@@Christopher-LenzHow come?

[@Christopher-Lenz]

@ClarkPotter Stokely: 1. admits on camera to teaching the wrong putting technique for years. 2. Sidearm, approaches target with square shoulders. That is awful form. No other pro does this. 3. Sidearm, encourages strange ritualistic neurotic habits & arm swings before throw. 4. Sidearm, claims elbow should only EVER be tight to body on hyzer throw only. Reality is it s/b for a straight shot as well. He really embellishes to newbs that ur elbow should rarely ever be tight to the body. What he shud say is elbow shud be away from body on reach back & follow thru and anny. 5. Encourages never to do field work. Only practice by playing rounds. Ridiculous. 6. Teaches u shud not throw it hard. States smooth form will get you distance. Well no shit it will. Arm speed on top of smooth release will yield max results. 7. Teaches u shud throw every disc in ur bag FH & BH. Reality is most pros have specific moulds for FH. My beef with this tip is he doesnt explain to newbs FHers like OS discs to prevent turnover. Turnover = speed > spin + stability. 8. Claims 600' throw in a vid where it was clearly no more than 350. 9. Lives off a distance record he set in 100 mph winds in the 90s. 10. Claims you should never have elbow pain from throwing forehand if you have the correct form. That is complete nonsense. Your putting max pressure in tiny ligaments you are going to have pain over time. 11. Believes Paige Pierce's play hasn't downgraded, just that all the competition has gotten better and she's stayed the same. Mind blowing takeaway.

[@micahcavender6073]

I got so many birdies today from doing this. I changed my putting to this form, and it is incredible. Thank you. Old dogs can learn new tricks.

[@YogiTRiCK]

I had to come back and comment. This seemingly simple and straightforward video did more for me than pretty much any other putting video I've seen. I took what you said went out back and was cashing putts left and right! I had been in a weird funk where I was trying all kinds of different things and the elbow and finger placement seemed to make all the difference. Thank you sir I'm excited to watch your career and appreciate you sharing!

[@YogiTRiCK]

Came back again after USDGC this is gonna blow up 😆 congrats... Buhr 🥶 ice cold ❄️ sir!!!

[@bbd1254]

Would love to see an updated version of this video with any new info you’ve incorporated or changes you’ve made.

[@JazzInATinCan]

I second this a lot

[@CHEFyeah]

Would love to see a “how to aim consistently” as your next installment! Thanks for sharing your insight & God bless!

[@blainegallant1063]

he looks at the top band, and that is where he aims evert time. He has a bullseye on the band, that is where he is looking. Just like a pitcher in baseball, they have a bullseye inside the glove and they try to aim at a spec inside the bullseye.

[@CHEFyeah]

@@blainegallant1063 Yea to be more specific I mean aim consistently off the tee

[@Postermaestro]

@@blainegallant1063 are you gannon buhr?

[@NovaChan07]

I had the same question regarding the horizontal axis. Keeping your elbow in line with the basket makes sense but how do you best develop consistency with your release at the end of the whip?

[@stokesj2]

Great instruction presented with logic and detail. Appreciate you taking the time to make these. 👍🏻

[@karl6458]

OMG. OMG. I have been putting somewhat like you and ricky for 5years. Have been practising for countless hours and never even once I hadnt put my attention so specifically on elbow. Now if I focused on my inner elbow. my oh my, the putter comes out of hand with such velocity it could harm the bystanders. man I appreciate! good luck on tour!

[@tuukkahuikari5332]

Thanks Gannon! Bringing the disc to the left and leading with the elbow to make it pop was a total game changer for me! I've been banging in putts like never before!

[@hades_mc3752]

wow honestly i think this is the best putting video I've every seen

[@NickSJenkins]

Best putting video I've seen! Love to see a forehand video from you as well.

[@frankstevens2026]

Dude! Been trying to dial in my putts and these tips helped right away! Logical and well communicated thank you!

[@Bulldog8760]

Very informative. I like hearing about the in depth mechanics of how to do things!

[@shawnmeuse9640]

Watched this today. FIRST: GREAT instruction. Mr Burr is a natural teacher. SECOND: Immediate and dramatic improvement in my putting. Literally started making EVERY put in my yard, dead center and with power with very little effort. Amazing! Thank you. 😊

[@zachcloxton6151]

A other awesome teaching video, thanks Gannon! Gonna go get some work in now!

[@MrCole114]

Had to opportunity to score Gannon's card on UDisc Live at the Texas State Championships for round one. Very mature young man! Will be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come. Thanks for the video!

[@MutualGambit]

This guy is going to be a force on the tour for many years to come. A real student of the game. As a new player I love the passion Gannon. Thanks for the advice.

[@ouisla]

Great Video! Could you make a video on how to have a more accurate backhand drive? Also, could you mention how to power down on shots?

[@djcrook6641]

The psychology between the body and the brain is crazy. Way to really explain that in this video. Good habits go a long way.

[@spencerplunkett9920]

I thought he was going to say ya just gotta be tall and have long arms and the putter goes! But he gave great advice thank you!

[@ScogginsDiscGolf]

This video has literally changed my putting game by leaps and bounds! I have so much confidence from 40ft and in! Thank you for sharing!

[@Discgolfanatic]

Just tried this after watching half the video, and wow, the disc actually spins like it wants to. Before, it felt like I was brute force spinning it, but now Im popping it with less velocity but it spins and carries so much better right into the center of the basket. Great video.

[@aubreyjones2076]

This is the new age putting style. This is the way.

[@jime2304]

[@bobbyshizz2138]

Back after the win at USDGC. The putter was incredible. Made everything.

[@kwik5150]

Can’t wait to try some of these. I heard Calvin talking about the pop as well and I’ve been working on it. Made a lot of putts last weekend. Thanks for sharing the tips.

[@tonysacco4105]

Hey bro, you literally fixed my problem with putting. I cannot thank you enough for the tips. You're the true MVP and a huge influence at the age of 17. Keep staying a head of the game and inspiring.

[@erakfishfishfish]

My favorite part is at 5:03 when Gannon misses and you can see him pause and wrestle with the thought of whether or not he should start the video over or not! (Great video though-I’m looking forward to trying these tips out, particularly bringing the disc to the back leg on the back swing, and focusing on extending my fingers rather than snapping my wrist.)

[@lllforgelll2421]

THE ELBOW IS THE KEY! Concentrated on it today on the course and made all C1 putts except one. This kid is on to somethin' lol

[@4dwyn]

The fingers are spinning the disc! Dude that is money. Thanks Gannon

[@chaf]

The things you explained are exactly what I feel when I throw a good putt. This is going to level up my putting game. Thanks for growing the sport.

[@67iguana]

There's a lot of people at the top level of any given sport that are PHENOMENAL players. But TERRIBLE teachers. But this guy has such a natural ability to teach. Absolutely amazing, keep up the good work man, I'm looking forward to watching you play this season!

[@Wallcrawler616]

That elbow tip while putting is huge. I tend to leave my putts too left and have to actively think about straightening my arm while putting. I need to go practice this now!

[@stevencolbert6663]

I rarely comment, but Gannon, I had to leave this to tell you this is the best piece of putting advice I’ve ever heard! I’ve always had issues knowing where to release the disc when putting, but now I’m (for two days) consistently smashing the shit out of the chains. Thanks man!

[@MutualGambit]

Would love a video covering your fore-hand technic. I'm just starting to learn and find the way you articulate to be the most understandable coaching I've come across so far. Cheers bro

[@lubsyb82]

this is the best putting tutorial i have ever seen on youtube. it helps that he is insane at it as well.

[@CDX7]

Now this is the dg content I’ve been looking for. As a beginner I related to everything in this video. This is someone who has encountered the problems we all face and spent serious time correcting and overcoming them. Real wisdom. Great stuff

[@BeauJee.]

Hell yeah man, Great tips. I’ve been trying that ‘left knee’ thing too and you just helped me understand why it works. Thanks Gannon!

[@jannesalmi3587]

Thanks Gannon! The finger tip 😏 was game changing for me! I used to yank putts to the right with my wrist.

[@discgolflife]

Wow!!! You're definitely the future of the game brother!!!! Maybe explain the pressures of the big stage? How you deal with the spot light so gracefully at such a young age? I'm subscribed now boom!!! I can't wait for the next video! Watching tips from real professionals really improved my game!!! thanks brother!!!!

[@thediscbrothers5797]

Superb video, I got distracted part way through and putted for an hour or so the two things I was focused on was curling my fingers and then extending which seemed to give my releases a lot more snap and especially a lot more consistency. I also started putting to the side, bringing the disc almost down to my left knee, allowing me to keep my elbow inside which already seems so much more consistent. Already my put is feeling better, thanks!!!

[@timothybeerbower6436]

Dude keeps dropping knowledge on us what a helpful video!

[@JoshuaHMatos]

Great explanation of the "pop" I am looking forward to incorporating that into practice. Thanks so much for this video

[@kevincruz7857]

I think my favorite putting video I've watched

[@timacton3355]

The little tip about pulling to your left knee was a huge help. That weird elbow angle you describe has been bugging me for a long time. That simple shift really helped, mentally if nothing else. Great insight.

[@gagefend7424]

wow. never even thought of any of this. i’ve been so focused on trying to flick my wrist as hard as possible i even thought about speeding down on putters. i also felt a really weird fluidity with putting from my side instead of straight down my body. this was the best video i’ve ever seen cover any sort of putting. thank you so much

[@LiftOperator52]

You are a phenomenal teacher and GREAT at breaking form down to understandable pieces. Thanks so much!

Gannon, you are an excellent communicator! Keep up the good attitude at ALL times.

[@robertmortensen3989]

LEAD THE MOTION WITH THE ELBOW!!! Big time game changer. Thanks bro!

[@albertlongoria4824]

You have taught me 2 new things that no other instructor has mentioned, or maybe they did mention but you emphasized and demonstrated. In the first video you mentioned leading with the shoulders, mind blown! And this putting video you actually show us your grip and demonstrate the finger pop, again mind blown. Two new things that I know will help my game tremendously. Thanks Gannon!

[@matth3416]

Yeah, me too! A whole lotta clean and comfortable things going on here. I think I'm finally sold on a style after 16 years of searching.

[@Bluepanther80]

Well who am I to argue with a guy who's winning basically everything atm. Kudos man and great instruction

[@jeffreydheere4737]

After seeing you putt at the JoMez Mall of America Putting Game episode, I wanted to see a breakdown of your putting stroke. Thank you for laying it out so well.

[@kristofferbjernman5219]

Great video, thanks! 👍👍

[@daemn42]

Watching the slow-mo putts on coverage, the other thing I notice Gannon doing differently than most others is that he brings the disc back and holds it vertically, nearly flat against his leg or body, nose down tail up, rather than holding it level and stopping when the back edge touches body or leg as most others do. Why is this important? Because it gives him another 9 inches of stroke right where it can do the most good. I tried it myself and initially it feels weird because the disc has to flip up from vertical to horizontal every time, but it seems to make a huge difference in how much power I can generate while keeping the disc on a lower dead straight line. To see if this was really the key for me, I did a practice putting session this evening and committed to just this change for every putt, the whole session. It does introduce a little hyzer that I'd like to flatten out a bit more, but I definitely felt the "pop" he was talking about for the first time, and the direction of release (azimuth) was really consistent. I hit like 15 putts in a row at 20+ feet moving between each putt, and was getting 3-4 in a row from circle's edge pretty consistently which is way above my norm. It feels and looks a little odd to start with the putter held vertically like that touching or nearly touching my body, but I can't argue with the results. I gotta see how it holds up in the wind, but I'm almost ready to switch. I already hold the putter the same as Gannon, except I do curl my pinky, so I need to see if I can stop that. Maybe I'll get even more power. Maybe it'll help with the hyzer angle.

[@sabrewolf479]

You helped my putting SO MUCH with this video. Please do more.

[@chiebert290]

I've struggled so much with putting. Months of practice and I got worse! This is so helpful. 75% from 33' with my first 20 putts and my putt just feels better. Crazy. Thank you Gannon!

[@Notadoc22]

Best putting video I’ve seen, hands down! Made some recommended changes and I saw immediate results. Thanks!

[@scottmcarthur983]

This is what is comfortable for me but I’ve been trying to relate small things to remember when putting. The elbow is that small thing. Thank you!

[@haydenfrederiksen2005]

This guys understanding of the disc and form are crazy. Keep making videos!

[@natebell4764]

Thanks for the vid, I just 5 putted at leagues yesterday and I hope to never have to experience that ever again. If you see this Gannon can you talk about your mindset and how you handle wind when you putt. I feel like this is a gap in any YT tutorial.

Great great video! As someone who tried a million things and never got a comfortable motion down, this one helped me the most immediately. Just tried a few putts and it feels a lot more powerful und the aim is pretty easy. Thanks so much and keep it up!

[@Meta-Drew]

Turns out I've been handicapping myself with my backswing of my putting motion. I was drawing it back to the same side of my body, which made it accurate when I got it right, but also sacrificed a lot of power and could make it inconsistent if I wasn't perfect. I changed my backswing to go down to my opposite leg just a few days ago and though I am still getting used to it I can tell I am putting so much better this way. Thanks so much!!

Went out today to try this on an actual course and it works great. Practiced at home for a couple days. Went out to the course today and rang up 3 30 footers (rare ash for me) and hit all my short putts. Only putts I missed were 2 20 footers on elevated baskets and a 30 footer downhill.

[@bkindglassworks]

Perfect, thanks Gannon. This is the style I already throw and I’m hoping these points will dial it in some more.
