Was not ready for the gooch tickler himself to be in this video, his darts strike fear into the heart of college disc golf

[@HonestOpenPermaculture]

Trevor, you just need to touch your gooch with the putter and your golden! 😂😂

Friendly audio advice. Position your 2 mics as distant from eachother while being close to the subject. The other side of his hat would have solved this doubling issue. Your audio is being captured in your guests microphone and creating a phase issue. You can also solve this by muting guest mic in post when you are speaking. Cheers

As a bad putter reformed to respectable putter, a couple of tips: -Grip - moving your middle two fingers toward your pointer finger=nose up putt. Moving toward Pinky= nose down. -keep putter within your body frame. Imagine a string from belt buckle to pole and keep the middle of the putter on that line. -To check if your body is in line where you are comfortable. Line up to putt a 25-30ft. Before you start your putt close your eyes. Putt and after open to see if you consistently miss left or right. Use your body to adjust. Once straight take note of your body position to the basket and that should be your stance. (Credit Scott Stokley) -Shake hands with basket and don't put that hand down until the disc stops moving. Helps you understand your release and make adjustments. (Credit Scott Stokley) -I'm a big advocate of slow "back swing" and slight pause before putting. -For stagger stance - allow your back foot to lift directly away from the basket. Don't swing it right or left. Hope this helps 👍

[@damagi123]

solid list. mines exactly the same except I PUNCH the pole of the basket for follow-through

[@AzureWolfblood]

Something Phillip Bartholomew taught me is to aim with your eyes, basically pick a point on the basket to look at and release where your eyes are looking. He also taught me to kind of flick my fingers, to get what i mean grab a putter and kind of grip it like you would putting(disc held with the edge towards the ground) and then shift it in a circle only using your fingers(just a slight movement up and down) and not your wrist

[@robertjones1730]

Old man tip for you Trevor, now that you know all these nuances, write them down on top of your disc in bullet form so when you are at a putt and you have 30 seconds, your mind is swirling, just read those important reminders and sink that putt

[@damagi123]

Love that idea dude

[@Evan-iq5xf]

This is really smart thank you!

[@geraldmitchell6271]

Howdy Trevor. I love all your videos but this one was by far one of your best if not the best so far. Clayton gave you some amaizing tips that definitely seemed to help you and will surely help me with my putt. I look forward to seeing you putt much better on all your furture Foundation videos.

[@dustindandurand7304]

The green screen look is back. Lol

[@Trevorstaubdiscgolf]

I think the issue is that iPhone cameras lack depth of field which is characteristic of green screens. Not sure why it’s been more noticeable as of late because I haven’t changed settings

[@dustindandurand7304]

@@Trevorstaubdiscgolf it is pretty wild how it looks at moments. I never noticed it before the last videos.

[@goatwards]

I think sun angle matters as well since we can’t really see shadows. It makes me think these were filmed around noon

Trevor about straddle putting @ 24:30, "Those are the easy ones". "I never miss a straddle putt cuz they don't count". 😅

[@peyton1296]

The lesson type videos are great. I love to see the improvemen!!!

[@andrewpahl2289]

I tried a couple of those tips especially the pause and not squaring up the basket it really helps my misses to the side and definitely helps me get more speed by making you come to a stop and start back up. Love the content keep it up!

[@joeloreilly2953]

We have been waiting so long for this video! Good on ya for putting yourself out there and learning! Play with your timing as well, you move your arm way after your hips. I find exploding into the putt helps me get the pop I need. I think about making my vertical energy move horizontally, if that makes sense. And spin it! Just spin it!!!

[@xAmboSx]

Trevor, p finally !!!!! Your puts are straight. Love it !!!!!!

[@BIRDIEBANANADG1.0]

Great work on the green today Trev. It’s good to see you draining baskets. Keep it up.

[@ivwilliamson79]

So the elbow yank thing, I also struggle with that. Shots coming out hysered. 2 things that I’ve noticed help me with this. You can try to keep wrist even or above elbow as the hand moves forward and up. Clayton mentioned trying to keep wrist and elbow level. Another strategy is to try to keep the crease in your elbow forward and up. This is more helpful if you want to come from low to high. Good luck!

[@sethwa2]

I really liked the video trevor. I love seeing you improving, and i REALLY appreciate the help on my game as well

[@stephencalcote]

Keep it up! Love to see the putting journey.

[@nordicdiscgolferatrumble9430]

Yeah, "I hope" is the correct thing to say, cuz when we enter a competition with our new and "good feeling" putt, standing there on the green, that new putt doesnt feel that good anymore - instead it feels a bit scary 😬

[@johnweathersby8515]

Good ol bigsby makes an appearance

[@mcwoo2598]

I’m ready for the arch of Trevor being a good putter

[@kennybossen9043]

I think there’s 2 things that can really help that I noticed. Might be worth trying out. 1. You bend your elbow a lot in your putt. The more you bend your elbow the more likely you are to pull the disc to the right because when you extend your arm it’s moving to the right. Although a sideways stance might fix that and you’ll be extending your elbow to the basket. 2. I think aim small miss small is important for not only aiming but being confident mentally when you need to adjust your aim point for wind or distance you have more confidence that you’re doing the right thing.

[@dongorecke544]

Trevor I struggled with the elbow out too. Think of it like shooting a basketball tuck the elbow when lining it up. Since you hold the putter up tuck elbow downward keeps shoulder and wrist in line with target

[@samuelyoon5701]

Nice Trev!

[@sabiebright4554]

This has been a cool video, id love to see more with other instructors, maybe even have check ins after a few months or so with clayton and the other good disc golfers to talk about continuing to improve and such.

[@TwoOneSe7en]

25:32 The main thing I notice is your hand/wrist position is still VERY push putt and you’re trying to spin it a little more. Use a little more of the “pour the coffee” grip and the wobble will be much less with more natural spin. Open that hand up and leave it open and arm extended until the disc hits the basket. AB’s putt stroke is phenomenal.

[@jacob_coleman25]

Trev that was actually looking good

[@stevendeckert6373]

Yes-that tip about your hand being too far below your elbow is what I wanted to say. It's hard for you to putt with anyhyzer just bc your elbow is so high.

[@anthonyseng8715]

Great video!

[@patrickfossing5411]

Was about to pay for a coach myself to help my putting. Thanks for doing it for me Trevor!

[@markchase6096]

Sometimes it just takes someone else giving you a tip on your putt to help tremendously. I was practice putting (not great) before a tournament and one of the guys there mentioned how I angled the putter weird when I pulled it in towards my body and that the putter was never going to make it in the basket. It was an almost instant change for the better once I actively thought about keeping my disc flat on the way in and out on my putt.

[@Ziggy-md5ok]

Ok I’m bringing back the pause Talked me into it

[@xDannyBarnesx]

Best putting tip I ever got was “just act like you’re tossing it to a friend”

[@conman7127]

I would consider myself a well above average putter, the staggered stance with your shoulders misaligned creates a pocket and from there you gotta generate the power with the body weight shift and the wrist with good timing. The crazy thing is the putt you’re doing now looks exactly what I do and it’s worked for me so well. I’m glad to see you work out the bad habits. 👍 Btw- My name is Connor and I too go by the Big Con so shout-out to him lol

[@douggiefreshdg]

Great video. I like tip videos where the creator is learning with the viewers. Keep it up! 😎🤙

[@badatthiss2]

Took some of his tips for you into my own putting and have gone from 50% to 70% at 30 foot, only tried it in my basement so far tho

[@homerclark9553]

Much better putting than in previous videos.

[@RyJitsoup]

Needed to see this. I haven’t putted in over 8 months, due to hand surgery. So i’m basically starting from scratch. Not saying I was good from the start. But my hand mechanics changed alot.

[@adamhammer6989]

Great tips!

[@enriqueorozco5667]

I actually been incorporating some of that stuff to my putt too and boy has it helped. That and switching to the pixels. Lol

[@ggdg5302]

Glad u did this. My last comments about your form were exactly what he addressed. Too square to the basket, and pulling the putter too much with the elbow.

[@jims7131]

I’m working on my putt too, I have an issue where I can put good at home on my practice basket and then I go out and play a round or a tournament and don’t feel like I’m committing, it just doesn’t feel the same.

[@blakewest5162]

Lessons from 1000+ guys is sick

[@THEPARAHOLICS]

Great video.

[@Tron1570]

I noticed even when Trevor is making putts, sometimes they just barely kiss the left side chains and go in almost vertically. Flattening out your putt is a definite improvement.

[@TrueLink1]

Trevor seems to curl his wrist whenever the disc comes down before the throw, and I think that might be an area of inconsistency. It's hard to get the exact same amount of curl each time, and it's a small window of time to try and do something consistent in. I think he should try to keep that wrist curl consistent throughout the pull-back. This could be either by keeping his wrist as actively neutral as he talked about early in the video, or he should set how much wrist curl he wants before the discs gets pulled down.

[@ryanswanson2178]

Paul Ulibarri in Power DGA talks about starting the putt with your fingers/hand. That should keep you from getting the elbow out in front so far and throwing the 60 degree hyzer puts.

[@ryanswanson2178]

Watch slow mo of andrew marwede putt and his hand goes way ahead of the arm on the way up.

[@nicklarssondg5227]

I know the shock collar thing at the end was said as a joke, but now that you've done a hot sauce video... 👀 Maybe decide the worst mistake on a hole or shot before the shot is thrown, and if you make the mistake you get shocked? Just a thought, could be a fun Foundation vid 😅

[@ADamItalian1173]

Try pointing your disc down as you drop your arm. It lets the disc be flatter easier. Doing like you are during this makes the disc come out nose up a lot

[@MrKylebeard]

Good stuff 👍🏻

[@CornDogDG]

You bail on your putt is half the problem. Just stick your hand out there and leave it there. Instead of flinging it upward after your release you can make adjustments in alignment and form better when you actually see where your release was.

[@murphyd8205]

Trevor I think you forgot one of the most important things about the putt! You gotta think about how your hand finishes, the best putters finish with their palms slightly up, which helps keep an up and down motion, almost like you’re handing the disc to the basket

[@murphyd8205]

You can really tell both on the original ajd new putts, I really think you’re issue is the was you drag the disc right by finishing palm down! Hopefully that makes sense. And when you putt palm up it’s way easier mentally because all you think about is opening up your hand straight up and down!

[@crankor]

i fixed my putts today randomly. I discovered if i keep my elbow raised up then it always goes in the direction i want it to vs before thinking i had to keep it lowered it was all over the place

[@ZapCod]

I think hes right with the bailing out of the putt. But a big thing I notice is that once you take the pause, you need to pop it and trust your reps. You look like you're thinking about your putt all the way from your hip to your release. Watch the pros how quick from the hip to the release is, yours is really slow

[@alexmags8535]

First! So excited to see your journey!

[@TarunBelenac_20]

Ive found my thumb placement affects how angled the putt is for me, the closer to the edge the straighter the putt it is.

[@robkitchen5344]

You should only accurately putt with Darts.....especially when baskets on a slope.... in fact its better to miss the basket completely with a Dart then drop down after hitting metal and land on edge...you might end up rolling 40 to 60 ft away

[@arthurcbrn]

See now begins the true mental test… because we all know you got a putting overhaul and are now expecting your putting to be better next foundation video.. I believe in you

[@jimrayfield265]

Love the content man, but the key of this lesson should be "When Trevor stops the goofy nose up hyzer putt and putts flat with some spin, he makes more putts." Lol I hope you stick to the new form!

[@ElveZ83]

Finally... No hyzer putts...

[@tyler_glasgow]

Clayton has ants in his pants!

[@ChayseGrizzell]

🙌🏻🙌🏻 Proud of you LOLOL. I can stop leaving fix Trevor’s putting in the comments. Please read the rest 🙏🏻 Personally I think there is too much wrist movement involved when releasing the putt. You have to time it perfectly and though it seems like it’s adding more spin, I think increases wobble unless you release it perfectly. A little is okay, but you can generate spin just by opening your hand towards the target. Take it down with a straighter arm in more of an up and down motion like a push putt, keep the disc on hyzer on the way down without too much wrist bend, then on your upswing rotate the disc from hyzer back to flat while you open your wrist and hand towards the target. The disc will come out flat and inline with the target every time. Then use your weight transfer or momentum, however you choose to do it, generate the power required but make sure to start your weight transfer or push before starting the upswing. Can’t emphasize enough how much a good weight transfer plays a roll in a consistent release and accuracy. His comments about shoulders were spot on. Too square and you have a natural tendency to pull right. You want to have to best angle to let you arm swing freely towards the target. For me personally, hips and shoulders are both around 45 degrees, and front foot around 30 degrees. Having less foot turn away from the basket is okay if you are more of a spin putter. I would say I’m more of a slight spush putter, and putting is the best part of my game by far.

[@RollTideJD]

The most impossible task in disc golf 🤣

[@nezy3487]

why does it look like there's a green screen?

[@ericbaumgartner03]

#Gtickle

[@WyattWagner]

Your back foot is too far to the right, causes your upper body to over compensate. This brings in more movement and makes it harder for you to be consistent. Bring your back foot further to the left. The feel should be closer to a straddle putt. Obviously still a stagger, but compared to what you're doing now it will definitely feel different. Ricky is the guy I have in mind when I picture that stance.
