[@bbwrenn]

@SirVixIsVexed No, the only story here is that David Davidson is full of crap. Avery was top 5 in the world that year, and the courses played for Worlds also really favored his style, which is throwing far both backhand and forehand. The world title was no accident.

I had the exact same thought. "Ok so I have my one putter... " I see a lot of walking back and forth from the basket in my future.

[@otto_jk]

If you have low speed midranges you could also try to putt with them

[@artgarba3108]

Really impressed. I love that you are taking this amazing opportunity seriously. The disc golf community is growing and people are now seeing that it’s a legit sport . Your professionalism will reflect well on our sport. Great work Brodie .

[@EugeeFGII]

Love this advice. When I first started, everyone told me to step away after every putt, reset, etc. I did putting games with two putters and you have to make both in order to advance (to simulate pressure). I was okay at putting, never super confident. I played a round with my state's champion in leagues and asked him what to work on with my putting. He said my stroke seemed inconsistent. Told me to grab all the putters I could find and bang out 100 putts in a row from 15 feet, trying to hit the same spot every time. I went from ~30% at 25ft to 75% in like a week. My confidence in my ability to hit metal in C1 skyrocketed, and my form feels natural and consistent. I still play a 2-disc putting game to simulate pressure, but cranking out mechanically identical putts over and over for muscle memory is *good*.

[@wolfyklassen]

Yeah, the whole "make it like a real putt" thing is like telling a musician "no don't practice scales, practice going on stage and playing a whole concert every time"

[@livingthefreelifeg3713]

I have adopted the scoober for all high wind situations and it has saved my short game. Thanks for bringing that shot into the mainstream of disc golf.

[@livingthefreelifeg3713]

@Some Person all of those situations are escape shots or specialty shots. He used it to drain a regular putt. That's what I meant.

[@robertwakefield4553]

Hey Brodie, please do a forehand tutorial. After watching you do the Simon challenge, I was blow away at the consistency of your mid-range forehands. I can't throw one for anything and you teach in a way that makes sense to me. Thanks for the content and for bringing so many new eyes to disc golf.

[@ExaltedRC]

A collected, systematic method. A lot of people don't realize how much work it takes to become good at things like this. Practice, practice, practice. This is just like practicing basketball. Shoot, shoot shoot. Track progress. It's fun to make games, too. Shoot 5, 10, 15..if you miss 20, back to 15, miss 15, back to 10..etc. But I really love this approach..I'm just now getting back into disc golf, and before I'd practice with 3 discs..not quite as efficient, but financially it was what I had to work with :D Great video, can' t wait to finish it later!

[@worshipfit]

Best putting video ever.... your a natural athlete with body awareness. This gives you a huge advantage on teaching and playing. Match that with a great camera presence and your on your way to be the best disc golfer instructor ever. For real. Passion trumps experience all day.

This reminds me of drills I taught young boys learning to play basketball. (StepBack-StepUp) Putts are like Free Throws. Nobody to block the shot, except the Shooter! Some great foundational drills in this video. Just picked up this game a few weeks back. OldDog learning New Tricks. You two have brought me such joy with your interaction on this videos. BeBlest!

Full disclosure, i'm an "Amateur" at best but have been playing for 10+ years and tried multiple stances/grips, discs with a rim/no rim, stiff vs soft plastic etc .... but after reviewing the video and trying out the grip and repetition alone, I've achieved greater consistency with both my makes and misses regardless of the putter I used .... Thank You for the great video and I look forward to future content!

[@efeeasley9827]

I started a few weeks ago and love it. This helps me tremendously. I just got a starter set. I really need at least 4-8 more putters. That walking back and forth is for the freaking birds. So, I threw and where it landed, and putt from there to cut down on extra walking. Sucks living at an apartment but a course is around the corner from my job. Thanks Brodie! Love your videos so much..you are a great teacher and student. I absolutely love when you say Keep slinging those disks-its the best!!!!!

I too enjoy picking a single link on the chain when putting, improves tighter grouping and accuracy. Bravo

[@CRBoiler]

Advice here is spot on. Boils down to one word (actually just one syllable)... Reps... I've just started this sport (discovered both my sons and I like it), but I've played plenty of other sports, and whether it is "normal" golf putts, free throws, baseball pitches, soccer penalty kicks, or anything... Reps is the way. My current plan as a brand new beginner is to get several different putters (ideally check feel at a shop), work with them and identify a favorite, and then drop some money on a 10-pack of that model & start doing the reps. Thanks Brodie.

Great videos especially for beginners. One thing that always helped me was finding something that u do every time to keep it the same. I push putt so i always made sure to bring my elbow to my hip so every time i putted it was exactly the same.

Love how you talk everyone through the purpose behind each type of practice. Time, focus, reps, and technique all have their place.

Thanks Brodie, great to see you crushin it at Goat Hill this weekend!

Brodie you are only in the beginning of your disc golf career and you are being so competitive and yet transparent with what you have learned.

Dude your a machine! I actually love watching your videos and seeing someone a similar age to me fully dedicate themselves to disc golf (or anything!) and really challenge themselves. You also know what it is to actually practice and train, not just play, they are two VERY different things. Keep your videos coming and best of luck with your career!

[@ryanwright4287]

Didn't learn anything new. But anyone just starting to play or is struggling with their putting will learn soooo much great video well articulated. Reps are so useful it doesn't matter how many go in just get the reps

[@bernan1]

One of the best putting vids I've seen...and I've seen a ton. Great job. Always good to find new insights that aren't overcomplicated. Many little nuggets in here to try. One thing to maybe add in the 100 putt exercise, use 2 spots from the same distance. It can be relatively close, (a foot or 2 between) but enough to where you have to re-set because you're at a 'new' spot. This reduces the temptation to just auto-pilot the throws one after another from the same spot.

[@christopherdosh1999]

This video helped my putts! Love the new grip and no longer missing left. Hyped to practice tonight after field work. Thank you brodie 🙏

Man, your work ethic is crazy... you practice just as hard as the top guys and it will continue to show... Thanks for this video, best one yet!

[@ericfleet9602]

His technique is so different than others I have studied. Those I've watched line up their shot, pull back slowly then release in the same spot that they lined up their disc originally. Brodie starts out with the disc up around his eyes before pulling back. It works for him, and shows that it is all about a technique that is good for you.

[@frolfenuugen4lyfe]

Since you started disc golf you've matured not only as a disc golfer but in the way your vids feel. It's been interesting watching your growth over the last 6 months or so. Keep it up and I'm sure you'll do well. Good luck Brodie Smith.

[@cobiabigfish]

Hey, Brodie for poor folk like me, with no basket. I use a 5 gal bucket that I hang from a wire fence think it helps me with control of angel of the putter to make it fit good for learning aim as well. I hang it with bottom to the fence so the front is horizontal. Thumbs up for your work ethic.

[@MosesJones5]

This helped me so much today!!!!! Changed my holding of the disc like you showed and it WORKED!!!!! I hit my first 20ft birdie with confidence!!! Thank You

[@spideywomack5032]

Makes me a little more confident that I've taken a similar approach to practicing putts. Thanks Brodie!

[@MrSoupMen]

The way you explain things is so good. Keep it up!

[@Aphletic]

Solid advice Brodie! Sometimes I will work on a specific distance like 100 putts from 25', but I like to also mix it up and do sets of 100 where no two putts in a row are from the same distance. It is usually this pattern: 20', 25', 30', 25', 20', 25' 30' etc... I feel like adjusting to the distance on each putt can help with the realistic scenario, similar to how doing the full routine for each putt does.

[@BrodieSmith]

Yes this is great 👍.

I actually do the same type of routines and challenges you do. My small target is a piece of painter tape around the center of the pole. Most of courses by me have that, that is why I do that method on my practice basket. Putting is no longer a worry in my game. I also have implemented the scoober into my game. Loving how consistent it is for approach shots. TY for that video.

[@therealjwil5]

Been doing this for about 2+ months now and am glad by picking A link in the upper middle I wasn't crazy in being too specific.

[@shiftonephoto]

That's some awesome advice! The 3 disc game sounds like an awesome way to put pressure on yourself, that's a cool tip. It will be awesome when you get that lav mic for stuff in the garage and just all your videos in general.

[@metheus108]

There was a putting drill floating around here somewhere from years ago that involved something like this. You took 3 strides (6-7 feet) from the basket in 3 directions and set up stations. You putt X number of putts (10 was the number in the video) using your main putting style at each station then move on to the next station. If you make all of the putts at a station you putt the second time around using your secondary putting style. If you make all of those you take 3 strides back from that station and set up a new one. Repeat. Its a practice that requires some room so its more of an outdoor one, but depending on how things go you end up putting from different angles and lengths in a couple of different putting styles.

[@dustywalker8824]

Great Video! I'd also do practice putting outside- the outside air/wind is closer to "real" and the neighbors watching helps replicate round pressure!

[@espio23ify]

I appreciate you couching your recommendations with the disclaimer that you haven't been playing long - very humble! But honestly don't worry too much about it, like, your views are valid as well.

[@Ruucsa]

I just love that you have the same grip at putting like i do. 5 years ago it just felt a thing to do and it felt good. But lot of times i have been told that i should never keep my index finger on the rim. But if it works, why don't do it. 😊 something else might work for someone else

[@kingkgd01]

Thank you for the grip tip. Moving my index finger placement was the answer. My grip is looser and the release smoother. Went out today with my putting practice basket, and the improvement was immediate!

[@alexcheriel7306]

What you said missing up/down instead of missing left/right is spot on. If I miss my first two putts front rim, I know it's an easy correction where when I my first two putts right side it turns into a bad cycle of doubt, compensation, and dwelling on the previous missed putt. The 20ft come backers are no fun either.
