Putt BETTER in 5 steps (a real game changer for me!)

In this video I´m trying to find my putting style. And I´m hoping it´ll help you find yours and/or get better at putting 😀.
How I went about it.
Starting out I went a round of 18 holes to see how many missed putts I had. In the meantime only recording those missed putts. That was not fun, haha. Then I tried a bunch of different putting techniques and practiced putting in my backyard til the point of feeling like I´m ready to try those missed putts once more. With the hope of improving my score. Find out how it went in the video if you´re interested. If not that´s cool. Have a nice day either way.
Hope you enjoy the video! ❤🤘

Do NOT press the link! 😘🤘 /Jonathan bit.ly/47CrPnG

[@jaccob73]

I just want so say one thing as a beginner. Jonathan's videos are the absolute main reason I bought some L64 discs. I am convinced his content makes higher sales to begginers more then any of the endorsed pros. He's so relatable to us with all the struggling, practicing, fails and wins its unbelievable and I'm sure I'm not alone with that opinion .Keep him close L64, because he's totally worth it!

[@Latitude64]

Wow thank you so much for the kinda words. Really means a lot ❤ /Jonathan

[@JayDeeTee]

I can just jump on that train! Fav discs are from Latitude and m bag is 90% L64. I mainly watch Jonathan for motivation and learn and add overthrow for technique Infos! Whats your fav forehand (forehand) driver Jonathan?

[@Butzy621]

Haha. After watching a handful of these vids, I started looking for those black on black hats and the hoodies are pretty cool too. Planning on trying out all brands of discs though. Will definately be adding L64 discs. Love the content. If you can make me laugh, you get my subscription, likes and shares.

[@Alliat6364]

I must second this! When I started out I got almost only Innova disks. Now half my disks are Lattitude 64°. Just yesterday I bought a “starter set” for my son with Saint, Fuse and Keystone… Yeah, I see now it says “Advanced” all over the box. I guess he’ll just have to put his big boy pants on! 😅

[@freedomgunsandliberty]

Facts. My next order has some latitude disc in it just because of his content

[@ccmaster]

The dude really put on a full suit and tie looking all dapper just for a 2 sec clip.

[@Latitude64]

That is correct :). Had slippers on tho. Didn't show. Mighty fine combo 😂

[@Walmartin86]

I’m not gonna lie. I’ve loved watching you journey and seeing your form improve! It’s really motivating and you putt release looks so clean after all the practice. Your “timing” is also way way more consistently smooth and looks the same in all the clips be really jerky before hand.

[@Latitude64]

Thanks a lot! :)

[@jordanandthesphinx]

I’ll try not to overstate this…. You have the best dg content on KZbin. Thank you for really “putting” 😉 yourself out there. Keep up the great work! I highly suggest you find a local putting league (or start one yourself). It’s a ton of fun and a huge confidence builder for putting under pressure. Cheers!

what he said

[@sticky3507]

Liked this comment for the pun 👍

[@ChristiaHall]

100 Percent. I'm new and trying to learn and your videos have been the most helpful to me. Thank you!

[@dasbuj]

My friends showed me a great putting practice drill that sort of automatically finds the putting range at which you start to get inconsistent, which for me is one of the biggest things to work on in my own putting. The drill works like this: Get a random disc and put it on the ground 10 feet from the basket. Putt 2 putters in succession at the basket. If you make both putts, flip the ground disc backwards to extend the distance slightly. If you make one putt and miss one, leave the ground disc where it is. If you miss both putts, flip the disc forward, decreasing the distance slightly. Use 4-8 putters so you don't have to run to the basket every round. After a few rounds, you'll arrive at an area where you might make both, you might only make one, or you might miss both. It'll show you the range you need to work on (spoiler alert: it's a much smaller distance than you probably think it is! My challenge range ends up about 18-20 feet...). And the more you work on it, the larger that distance should get. Soon those 18 footers that you use to step up and think "uh oh, I have to make this one, but I could totally miss it..." become automatic for you. And plenty chance to develop shot style, grip, routine, etc.!

[@sticky3507]

I’m going to use this drill today! Thanks :)

[@livinlifeoverfifty]

This sounds fantastic! Going to definitely try this! Thanks!

[@dasbuj]

@@sticky3507 let me know how it went for you!

[@dasbuj]

@@livinlifeoverfifty lemme know how the results go :-)

[@trizkit995]

Thanks for this! Just picked up a pack of putters going to use this method.

[@ifyouwereme]

I love it. Someone named Paul? This was entertaining. The hardest to imitate disc golfer becomes the one that gives you the greatest success.

[@NickCarroll]

Even your misses were closer, Jonathan! One thing I like to do before I putt is tell myself "Stance, Grip, Line, Rip" and those things help me dial in my positioning before I putt. I get in the correct stance. Once settled, I make sure I'm holding the disc exactly the way I need to, then I build a line from my body where the disc will go back to, to where it needs to go. Then I let it rip along that line.

[@mpbx3003]

As always, the best Disc Golf content on KZbin. It's not a pro player showing off pro player things it's a player starting from the beginning, showing the full beginner process. We all start somewhere and it's nice to see that not hidden!

[@Iliyena87]

The amount of strokes saved is great in it self, but the actual close misses is the best improvement I'd say. All the old misses resulted in a not at all easier comeback putt where'as your new photage shows an easy comeback putt in most cases. Saves even further strokes being able to miss "safe" and thereby trying even longer putts with more confidence! I have tried some different putters and I think the DD Deputy feels really good in the release, not had the time to practice with it though.

[@johnshepherd6925]

I have 5 Judges in Classic Blend and absolutely love them.

[@fuzziemunkey]

Couldn't have said it any better. That was the first thing I noticed is how much better the missed putts were vs the first time.

[@AlexAndreKnudsen]

I think you have to realize... His instruction is funny and helpful but none of the pros miss "safe".

[@AlexAndreKnudsen]

Worth a birdie chance and Sunday risky par, just to guarantee a par

[@Iliyena87]

Eh, yes they do, not intententionaly as a safe miss ofc. But they putt different on different baskets, and many use different techniques at different distances and situations to not go to long no matter what gets in the way. And by this they only have to worry of a rollaway when hitting the basket missing low or high. Using a more push putt over a spin is one way eg. Not all pros are fearless ;)

[@shiftonephoto]

I could tell the biggest thing from the old putts is the new putts you're really following through and committing to the line. Looks so much better!

[@marcuspowell2510]

You look like you are shooting AT the basket now, while some of your first putts look like you were just trying to hyzer/float them in. I still have a lot to learn but shooting AT the basket has really helped. Keep it up and thanks for taking us along.

[@andrewthompson5012]

2022 is going to be such a great year for disc golf! Cant wait to see more content come out from Latitude 64. Jonathan is the best!

[@Latitude64]

Cheers, Andrew :)

[@pbodys16]

Holy crap you are so right. I cannot wait!

[@Hirmumyrsky]

Jonathan, about your routine; in the future, you should add walking up to the disc/mini to it and my suggestion is that you walk near the spot, look at the basket, and do that "successful putt" weird face with the hand's motion too definitely... whatever - just so the basket knows what is coming and can fear for it. Also, this might prepare you for the putting. But scaring the basket, that is the most important! ;)

[@mbsouthpaw1]

This is awesome. I have always taught people looking to improve putting that the first step is to find your "true natural" putt; the one that you can re-create without thought. Once you find that, pointing it in different directions is trivial. And the first half of the video shows you doing that. The other thing you need is data and feedback, and I see you doing that too. One suggestion. When thinking about how to practice, the very best distance to focus on is your 50% make range. For that, I putt in pairs, and if I make both I step back a pace for the next, and if I miss both I step in. Make/miss stays right there. This puts you right at your 50% range and then I work on extending my 50% range. How far back can you push it? Also, don't forget to work on longer putts. Those 40+ footers take more power and are different, so make sure to include some distance putting in the mix. Finally, practice hyzer/anhyzer and straddle putts. Not only do you need those specific putts sometimes, but they'll make your default putt better too. Cheers, and GREAT VIDEO!!

[@fordheacock5371]

these videos constantly have the highest production quality in all of disc golf- love it!

[@christophermiller1260]

Great to see you getting in that practice and seeing the results!

[@kyleburns9439]

This was a really great video. It’s so nice to see some direct context as to how working on your putting can improve your game 👍🏼

[@timh8976]

Great video as always Johnathan! So glad your back! 👍

[@baldjustice393]

Welcome back we've missed you're awesome videos and hope you had some great family time! Fun in fundamentals are key to not only playing well but enjoying the game! A lot of people forget this key factor, even myself. It's frustrating when you hit a slump, you just have to have confidence and like you said...... practice and keep the rhythm!

[@erikalexandersson9069]

The progress Jonathan.. it's progressing!! 🧡

[@Yrian96]

Practice making putts, don't practice missing. Find a distance where you never miss and just putt alot from that distance, it sounds weird but it works. Someone else probably said this, but it's the best tip I've ever come across.

[@Latitude64]

This makes a lot of sense to me. Thank you :)

[@Fereshetian22190]

This is so awesome! I was so happy for you seeing how much smoother your putting stroke was looking by the end and i think the process you used to get there was awesome, try everything for long enough to get an idea of it would work for you or not and only keep doing what feels right. Definitely want to try this out for myself now!

[@justinheister7949]

Thanks you so much for the content. Sometimes I feel like I’m never going to get it but watching you and knowing I’m not alone makes me not want to give up. Much love man!

[@MrMichaelyokom]

I'm so happy Jonathan is back! As far as I'm concerned this is the best and most entertaining DG content out there. Welcome back!

[@steveg6035]

So glad Jonathan is back!!! Lat 64: Great discs and the BEST content hands down.

[@EricBensonBBQandDG]

This video is awesome! Love watching the journey you took and I'm in a similar place in my game right now and this has given me some great ideas of where to go from here. Thank you Jonathan

[@smp1396]

Always enjoy your videos, glad to have you back!

[@JuanJimenez-od1ho]

Best video yet. Keeping it real, but also showing real results. Congrats!

[@markadkins9290]

Great stuff, Jonathan, as usual! Keep it up!

Thanks for inviting us on your journey! Your “approach” is entertaining and educational. Fun game and Fun instruction!

[@jerodleupold5889]

This is amazing. Thank you for breaking down your process AND the follow up recreation of the putts. Your journey has been incredibly inspirational!

[@rood5681]

Bro you're back! Holy shit. You were among the first that I watched when I started playing cause you showed your journey into the sport and I could relate. I appreciate your videos so much and look forward to many more.

[@Dwiggy4444]

Well done! Really really enjoy the style of these videos and your sense of humor. Keep them coming!

[@FrankXtreme76]

As usual you provide the best discgolf content on YT. I have been really struggling with my putting game, and since your video of "how to throw more accurate" helped me a ton im excited to implement the tips from this video as well ;) Cheers from Sweden! :D

[@fuzziemunkey]

Thanks for the awesome content. Looking forward to watching you grow more throughout 2022! 😀

[@fisherguy45]

You’re back!!!!!! Awesome

[@yochatman]

So glad you're back creating awesome content! Love all your videos. This is no exception. Thank you Jonathan, and thank Latitude 64 for getting this guy!

[@Latitude64]

That's very nice of you, Eric! Have a great day 😀

[@rastlinesofine]

Jonathan that was such an amazing video!! 👏👏👏 Loved to see how much you have improved. You motivated me to find my putt and to "putt in" the work. 😁

[@gamble4pres]

I seriously enjoy your content! As a rookie disc golfer myself, I appreciate your trials and tribulations. Thanks for puting it out there!

[@margusveer]

Nice to see You're back!

[@Damn623]

Nice to see how much your putting has improved since starting discgolf😀 good job Jonathan!

[@jonathansalgado9194]

Most entertaining videos on disc golf form out there! Keep um coming!

[@danielriddle2048]

Love the video and watching the whole journey last year. Jonathan is likeable and gives more human realism than acting. I think he’d be that same way even on a casual round without cameras. Keep pushing.

[@Jono.]

That was cool!! Definitely a big improvement. Even the misses were just so much cleaner and on tighter lines past the basket. Nice work!

[@grimr550]

That's right feel the putt within you. Its always good to practice good mechanics and then find the right disc for your style of putting and also the same with driving!!!!! Dope video!!!!!

[@steveackerman5066]

Great stuff! I was very excited to see you made a new video. Best of luck to you and your awesome new putting style!

[@lwestling7983]

Definitely my go to for dg tips. I began playing in the fall of 2020 and have been watching your videos since. Thank you for doing what you do!

[@Mfisher1980]

This is great. Love, love your style. 👍 one super great tip is to have fun like Jonathan. Thanks for this great content.

[@Logan_MZR]

Bro! Huge improvements! Fantastic info too. I did something similar 2 weeks ago and shot my best round ever in a tournament. Eagles vlog helped a lot but I wish I would have seen yours first. You put together all the info I looked for independently. I’m really happy with my stroke/stance/weight transfer. Still working on commuting my wrist to the putt and not letting it fall out of my hand. Biggest lesson learned is fully thinking through and being aware of the entire putt. Slowing everything down, being aware of timing of weight shift, arm and wrist. Cheers my friend!

[@hugodiscdyes]

This is spot on! (Like always). The amount på strokes that can be saved on better putting is so important, and thank you for sharing your journey and tips. My 2022 new years resolution is to at least make 18 putts a day, hoping it will have an impact on my game!

[@jayh6242]

Welcome back! Good to see you on the videos again!

[@Latitude64]

Thank you :). Glad you like them!

[@grantharris7920]

Your videos have helped me so much, have brought me from a bogey to a par player in a few months. I’m beyond grateful for all you do!

[@zyberbob]

Great video, cool to see your progression. Keep up the good work.

[@deekayed]

First, so glad you are back. Next, really appreciate your content. It is presented in a jovial manner and always top notch information. Much appreciated.

[@Steventhrowsbirds]

Right on Jonathan! Keep it going! I’ve stepped my game up a lot in the last month. Putts are on fire!!!🔥

[@Latitude64]

Thats awesome!

[@pbodys16]

You are hilarious man. Great video and awesome to see u improve and share what is working for you.

[@MonkeyFreeZone]

great job - thanks for taking us along on the thought process and experimentation

[@philjavacannon7343]

Love it!

[@krypticoctopus6892]

Happy to have your videos back in my daily/weekly life! Always a welcomed time. Please send 10 Mercy's so that I may also improve my own putting game 😁 Watching your videos and seeing the amount of improvement is outstanding! Keep the hilarious and informative content coming.

[@user-sk5qr8vx6e]

This is the best video ive seen in a while

[@DavidRodriguez-rr7rh]

Liked the follow through, I will incorporate it in my putts. Thank you

[@brucewilk9624]

yer back! My day is made!!

[@khutzone5526]

You're learning! Ahhh! I'm so happy for you're putting my friend! May the birdie be with you! Keep getting the reps in brother.

[@JeseeWalker]

Love the recreation of the shots. You're really knocking strokes off! Thanks for all your tips and videos Jonathan!

[@Latitude64]

Thanks a lot, Jesee. Have a great day! 😀

[@joshuaheck6495]

Some of the best DG content on KZbin!! One of the many reasons why I started with Trilogy and continue throwing Trilogy Discs!

[@TrzCharlie]

So good to see you doing videos Jonathon Your content has taught me more about how to correct my chronic throwing issues more than any other content provider. Welcome back. I really enjoyed this video about improving putting. I will be incorporating these techniques and try to get better at putting. Kudos, and once again, welcome back.

[@Latitude64]

Thank you so much! And I´m hoping they will help you with your putting. Have a great day! /Jonathan

[@EricGuesshimself]

Loving this content from Jonathan! It’s refreshing to see someone else deal with and learn from the struggles that so many of us share. Something that helped me today while practicing putting was after finding the range that I miss too many easy putts from (anyone else putt like crap from 15 feet and in, but pretty good from past that?) I made sure to do one practice arm extension before each putt. I’ve realized that in the 15’ and in putts I have the tendency to putt much softer which has resulted in much less than desirable scores. Practicing that full arm extension right before I putt reminds me what the proper feeling should be (hint: not weak!). Cheers!

[@villekonttinen5018]

Hey, it's great to see you in action! love the content and I'm looking forward to see more! My own putting looks actually pretty similar to what Calvin seems to be doing and in case it will be of any help to you I'd like to share my thoughts about it. I tried to come up with the simplest way of explaining it and the most effective thing would be to just take your putter and the grip you found. It looks just about perfect for this. (have mercy and get a grip Jonathan) and just start gently popping and hopping it upwards with the fingers under the disc. (in a way it wont leave your hand ) When you find that nice spring-like fluid tempo you can try uncurling your wrist while doing it and the disc should move from next to your hand to in front of it. That's the release point when you are actually putting like this. Now you just add that to your normal arm motion and the disc should have a nice clean straight up and forward flight. This is how I found my own putt, Instead of building from stance to release. I tried what I can do with literally just my fingers, then what happens when I add the wrist movement, what does the elbow movement has to add (I can pretty much putt from 5 meters by just using fingers, wrist and the elbow) and (finally for me lol) if the movement starts from my shoulders. At this point I started feeling it's pretty much all I need and ended up what I would like to call a "minimalistic" stance. Adding any more to it just doesn't do anything for me but add more variables that can result in a miss.(maybe just little more hip and leg action if it's a long putt) And finally some overall tips I'd like to give is to just be relaxed. Like seriously, try putting in slow motion. You'd be surprised how slow you can move and still have a decent putt. This way you also have time to really observe yourself and take notes of for example the angle of your disc and where you release it. Which leads to the next tip which is just to experiment with the angles when you putt (flat, hyzer, anhyzer, nose down, nose up) and another angle to watch is your shoulders, avoid slouching. (not that you'd be doing so Jonathan) I have that tendency and it helps greatly to put my otherwise useless arm behind my back while putting.. the other useless thing that came to my mind is that I sometimes feel that my pinky is in the way and scrapes the rim on release so sometimes I just lift it up or hold it behind the ring finger if it's a problem. One important thing for me is also the plastic and firmness of the disc, I prefer a more softer, bendy, eraser like surface which I think kind of softens the springy release to make it more smoother in flight versus a very hard stiff kind of plastic. so that's another thing to experiment with that as well (I putt with westside discs soft Bt Shields but I have a Pure and the zero medium plastic kinda works too, sadly I don't have a soft one to compare) Phew. a long one.. this is why I don't write much comments. But I hope it's clear and offers some help or insight to anyone reading :)

[@seraphdiscgolf]

Great video as always! Funny to see "tossing the disc around" until it feels good with your grip. That's what I do & don't even know why I started doing it, but it felt right. Hahaha! I have been wanting to get a Pure, but will have to pick up a Mercy as well. I mainly throw an Innova DX Aviar3, just love how it feels, but have been wanting to try out different putters.

[@nemod6618]

From one Jonathan to another; these videos are wonderful! I have started practice putting with the dynamic disc marksman & keeping track of my make/miss percentages since Jan 1. I am at 54% overall in practice (not awesome, but plenty of room for growth) and have noticed a significant jump in conference when out playing a round. The baskets on the course are way less scary! Keep being amazing, sir, looking forward to your next upload!!

[@EzComEzG0]

Out there so long, the snow started melting lol. Good stuff!

[@Vanbulance89]

That was great! During the recreation at the end of the video, it was very nice to see your confidence go up after you made one or two putts. That confidence is so key to making putts. Keep up the awesome work!

[@Latitude64]

Yeah it feels like it has a big part of it for sure :)

[@friscobaldo]

Glad to see you back! I am inspired to re-jigger my stance... To the backyard!

[@jacquelynrieser7928]

You are my spirit child. This was great.

[@sofaqueen9405]

Another cool video! I can very much relate to your process!

[@desverre1]

Awsome as allways, and the end-riff 🔥

[@lyngron5765]

Very interesting when you compare an earlier round like this and replay the same putts! This really shows how important the putting game is.

[@TheNwla]

Jonathan should be added to the Ambassador team!

[@ivobezuijen2969]

Oh wow! Nice going @johnathan! Putting is also one of my weak points so I'm definitely going to try this out! The improvement is simply amazing!

[@Latitude64]

Hope it helps :)

[@jayray9527]

Why does this not have millions of views. I have searched for this lost ark video, and I have finally found it! if your passionate about disc golf, and want to get better! Learn about discs and flight patterns then immediately watch this video!!! Then Practice A metric ton!!!
