How to putt with more POWER and CONFIDENCE! | Disc Golf Basics

Hey guys! 😀
I must confess something. My putting as a beginner isn´t strong and has been the weakest area of my game (this is not due to other techniques I've tried. One of the biggest things was just understanding that the disc need some sort of spin, no matter what style of putting).
When I edited the last putting video* I noticed a big difference between how Johannes and me did the putting. I had a lot of flutter and no power to really talked about and he was all like "take this you basket you". So I asked him to teach me his technique. With his 25 yr of playing I figured I can pick up a thing or two. And I think it was a good complement to the things Tomas Ekström taught me. Just trying to find the way that works best for me.
Hope you like this video and do let me know if there´s something you´d like to see on the channel :).

I am TRAPPED with the hyzer

[@11mitz]

the hyzer life chose me

[@durt9872]

Definitely felt that 🤦🏻

[@GStat7]

Same

[@joelleino7350]

Oh god it’s the worst, i can’t get the disc to go flat

[@mattbrown5921]

I to have the curse. Ive started standing with my feet shoulders width apart to help with the hyzer missing right.

[@eidur1234]

"I want confidence... I dont want meh" I feel that

[@Latitude64]

😅 yeah

[@tanner1300]

The look of excited and overall just flat out RELIEF on Jonathan's face after he makes the long putt at the end is amazing. It's almost more like relief that something clicked, than it is like excitement he made it. Amazing video!!!

[@Latitude64]

Cheers, Tanner!! /Jonathan

[@josephmichels6347]

It takes a special sort of someone that makes me think, "I want to be your friend" and, I do, just want to be your friend. Keep being fantastic, I have started throwing more Lat. 64 simply from these videos. I have 2 Zombie Tattar Pures that are the smoothest throwing putters I have ever had. So. Many. Cheers.

[@josephmichels6347]

I am now going to throw aforementioned Pures on straight lines into chains.

[@Johnny-xu7kb]

relatable comment :) i have a similar list of "people i would like to have a beer with", and Johannes has earned a spot on that. Seems like a great guy.

[@Latitude64]

Blushing over here guys. Cheers! 😀 /Jonathan

[@echoli2859]

“Everyone here knows more than I do. And that’s fine! I’m fine!” Made me laugh, love it especially with that accent!

[@modularcuriosity]

I love this series. I've only been playing about 6 months and everything in this series is helping.

[@markadkins9290]

Ain't that the truth!

[@Latitude64]

Cheers! Glad you like it! /Jonathan

[@currymich]

Honestly never looked at or considered Latitude discs before DG Valley and this series, great stuff guys. Been trying these tips in the field and it's been helping a lot. Learning right alongside you Jonathan! Please keep these videos coming!

[@Latitude64]

That´s awesome Michael! Glad that it helps you out! /Jonathan

[@jwmusic7]

Helpful video! I appreciate how these tutorials are from the learner’s perspective. Makes all the tips and techniques more relatable as opposed to tutorials where everyone in the video is already a master.

[@mike-fb4fw]

i love these videos with Johnathan and Johannes they are not quite as dry and informative as some of the dedicated disc golf teaching channels but they are very entertaining and still full of helpful tidbits

[@koroba01]

Watched this video this morning and went out and improved my putting by about 25%, basically this much more confidence on any putt within the circle. I think previously I always overthought the putting process but this simple method allows me to focus better on those 25 to 30’ putts. Excellent advice!

[@Latitude64]

Wow that´s great, Steven!

[@ZOSELY]

The way he says, “Thank you” when Johannes compliments him is like how a shy girl accepts a compliment from a large burly man. LOL Love this.

[@Latitude64]

😂👍. Glad you like it. /jonathan

[@susanjervis277]

“I am trapped by the hyzer” I felt that so much. Great video as always

[@bensieber657]

I'm definitely going to try this technique. My "spin" putts look like yours, Jonathan, "meh", and I have no confidence outside 15 feet. Johannes's "spush" putts look like just what I need as well. The technique is really well demonstrated here too. Another great video for us "noobs", thanks!

[@sandman5359]

Im trapped with this channel! Youre doing great content with an approach i can relate to a lot as i started playing disc golf with wifey just since last spring. The struggle has been real but progress has been made by both of us. Keep up the good work :)!

[@Latitude64]

I'm glad you like it :) /jonathan

[@cupbowlspoonforkknif]

Your initial putts were so wobbly! You needed a little more spin for starters. Glad to see such a quick improvement!

[@rjbarnette7087]

You guys are great!!! I’ve just started playing about 3 months ago and your videos are amazing and helpful. Thanks!!!

[@chesschilla]

I have been struggling with good putting form for over a year and this video has REALLY helped. Thanks for all you do!

[@narwhalabagel]

I have a hard time putting from a distance. This seems like itll be really helpful. Im glad this is so easy to understand

[@davelarue618]

Keep up the good work and enjoy all your videos thank you very much, I think pudding is the my most favorite part about disc golf

[@JMZBros]

Another great quality video as always. Something I like to think about when my putt is struggling is just "throw it in the basket." Sometimes I overthink my form and wrist snap and its best to just zone out and throw it in

[@Latitude64]

I totally agree, Nathan. Rock out with your zone out! /Jonathan

[@jayh6242]

These videos have helped my game so much!

[@Latitude64]

That´s awesome!

[@Carpet_F-Bomber]

Your videos are the best and extremely entertaining and useful. Please never stop making them!

[@Morgoth073]

I now playing for 2 months. 3 weeks ago one guy noticed that I was struggling with my putts (basically bad spin putts) and showed me the push putts. It really allowed me to gain confidence and to get more consistent with my putting under 15 feet. Over 15 feet my disc was too unstable and with a little spin from the wrist it allowed me to stabilize the disc so the spush putts came naturally. After watching video about the spin and the push it's nice to see that video.

[@vinkel868]

Honestly, i have been playing disc golf for about 3 months, and i have seen quite a Lot of videos on KZbin by now, but i always come back to this channel, it is just really good content, Jonathan is funny but there is really good tips and tricks in All theese videos too, which just makes it a amazing combo, big fan keep it Up ✌️

Thank you so much. And great name there! 😀❤👍

Enjoyed hearing his Johan's explanation of how he evolved his technique through trial and error

[@edstinson1772]

Another great vid. Jonathan is very entertaining and I think the putting style Johannes is recommending is dead on - simple, easy to replicate. Keep it up Latitude 64!

[@Latitude64]

Cheers, Ed!

Congratulations, YOU HAVE a Putting STROKE!!! From watching you my biggest advice would be to loosen up the body so you can use all your power. Nice job , keep it up.

[@Latitude64]

Thank you, john 😀

[@mech0p]

I love that he says you choose to hyzer and im trapped with it. That was so true for me and i actually had to put with an anhyzer to release flat.

Double sleeve tat guy is awesome. Very likable and is very believable in his “I’m no good at disc golf” routine. Thusly, very effective at teaching and promoting the game. And his interaction with the pro guy (Tómas or something?) is great. Any way you guys can teach me how to fix my form? I can’t throw as far as my friends and they laugh at me.

[@Latitude64]

Haha thank you. I can assure you that the lack of knowledge regarding disc golf is 100 percent real. I'm trying to learn tho :). A form video is in the making and if we make more maybe theres a chance to get some help with your form. But were still testing the format. Have a good one! /jonathan

[@kevinchiles9638]

Johannes’ “pull” putting is (imho) a more apt description. Find your stance, get comfortable, smooth pull across “board” with a committed effort. You got this Jonathan.

Thank you, Kevin 😀🤘

[@tonikutsar2172]

Didn't expect to learn putting with young John Malkovich. Really enjoy the content though !

[@Latitude64]

Haha who knew 😂👍

[@Postermaestro]

My #1 tip for clean release and putts without wobble is to realize that you do *not* aim with your wrist motion. The wrist only gives spin to the disc. By rotating your forearm you decide the hyzer/anhyzer angle. You aim the actual throw with your arm. If you try to aim with your wrist at the last second, you will get wobble. It's really hard to correct at first and you should start really close to the basket and make sure every putt comes out clean. To really test yourself and this concept, you can try to putt with a massive nose up, just for practice. To hit the basket you actually need to punch/aim with the arm below it, and keep the wrist angled for nose up, because the disc will rise up to the basket. It really is weird mentally because it feels like you aim both low and high at the same time. You can actually use this nose up putt for really low ceiling putts, when you don't have room to give it an arc in the air. But for longer putts, or putts into a headwind, they are not as good.

[@Latitude64]

This was super helpful and I haven´t thought about it at all. Thank you! /Jonathan

Man. I can´t believe we didn´t go over that. I think it´s beacuse we use sort of the same grip and didn´t think of it. I´d say that we both use a modified fan grip with the index finger on the rim of the disc. /Jonathan

Tänkte fråga om du har koll på vart det finns inomhus träning? Fullt förståeligt att just nu under rådande pandemi att det är svårt med inomhus träning men detta mörker och väder gör ju att man inte har större lust att kasta utomhus. Fin förbättring på puttern förresten. Keep it up

Hey Mark. If it makes you feel better the idea came just from me in this case. Didn't hear anything about something like this prior to starting :). It also means that you're two years ahead of me 😅. Glad you like the videos. /Jonathan

I evidently also "spush" putt. Just didn't know it until I saw this. Are there any pros who really do a true push putt? I feel like all of the top pros have some wrist movement.

Here's some tips that might help. Be loose! Start slow and accelerate the motion smoothly so you get the right amount of power, but still with control. Pull through the motion like you are reaching for the basket with your hand after you've released the disc. Maybe you know all this already, but maybe some of these might be helpful. Good luck! / Johannes
