How to Get More Pop on Your Putt | Disc Golf Tips for Beginners

[@ScottMoore1]

I love your videos man. Something I do with my friends I'm introducing to disc golf, is I play catch with them with the putter they are going to use for 15 minutes or so before we play. Then literally stand behind the basket and ask them to throw it to me. After first couple of wins I stop standing behind the basket.

[@echoli2859]

I can easily put from outside c2, just the discs don’t go into the basket..

[@DranzerRogue886]

Than putt at a smaller target. Like a wood pole. If you start hitting a the pole it'll be easier to hit chains

[@claybelli3880]

Never read something more true about my life

[@echoli2859]

Totally make sense, it works.

[@arkaneknight2208]

Not only do I really like your breakdown of putting, I also really appreciate your quality audio for this video.

[@jeremyzehr5481]

….wow. After dozens of putting videos, just these 3 tips FINALLY led to my push putt having some true power and distance. THANK YOU!

[@olympics1234567]

But Mr KZbin guy, can you help me?! You're a fun, and good teacher, Robbie!

[@scottjones5713]

YES, YES and YES!!!!!!!!!!! I have started to see nice improvements in my scores and it all has come down to putting. Specifically, the three tips are the three areas I have been focusing on that have REALLY helped. I think my favorite is pronation vs supination .. which for mean meant thinking of finishing my putt like Spiderman (being a straddle, push putter). For me ... this video hit the nail 1 million percent on the head. Send this to everyone you know because this will help their game today!!!!

[@beatlesrgear]

Thank you so much, Robbie, for this instruction video. I now know why I suck so badly when it comes to putting. The palm down to palm up technique is what I was not doing. I just tried to keep the disc flat as I struggled to get it to the basket. No wonder I couldn't hit anything over 2 meters! I cannot wait to go out and incorporate this technique into my putting that you've shown me. Thank you, Robbie!!

[@Buxydiscgolf]

100% DiscDot! Great video, brother! The Great Ben Swam told me to reach out and shake hands with the basket. Just like you said with pronation and supination (?). Great stuff!!!! Don't stop!

[@kerose]

You just changed my life!! Supanation!!! I’ve been trying to understand how the pop is really achieved and as soon as I focused on turning my hand up I increased my 20ft putting by 20%. I literally feel like my putts at least from 20 are finally starting to resemble the flat missiles Ricky throws. Great tip

[@tristanhickenbottom4372]

Dude! These were night and day successful changes for me. Been playing along time and changed my putt dozens of times. I’ve tried some aspects of these but never all at once. My thought was if I change too many things at once I won’t be able to tell what helped but the reality is all of these things helped! I went from 70-80% from 20 feet to well over 90% in the first hour of giving these tips a try. Very helpful even all the way back to 25 feet. From circle one I’m having some noticeable changes but not a significant change from that distance.

[@ClarkPotter]

2:56 Literally lol'd at this. So unexpected and hilarious.

[@chrisschuster9828]

My dude. By far the greatest vids pertaining to discers. Thank bro

[@samcheeley2943]

These are great tips. Love it. I think something that helped for me too was curling my middle and ring finder under the disc towards my palm rather than having them more or less straight under the disc. Along with the supination this allowed me to give the disc a lot more speed and pop from opening my hand up when releasing. Also i found that I wasn’t getting anything from transferring my weight on my stagger putt. Turns out i was thinking of moving my weight forward instead up up into the disc. This caused me to only transfer weight between my legs and not to the disc. So rather than rocking back and forth per say. Maybe its better to think of it as a diagonal upward motion.

[@Andyofsuh]

No joke. This helped me tremendously with the wrist mechanic notes! I was just trying to keep the disc flat the whole tine and putt. But now with that wrist movement and looking at how you were performing putts. It helped click in better for me. Thanks so much

[@dewaynepatterson2443]

First time making a comment. Love your videos. Not only is it great content but also it's the way you explain your tips. A big plus is the way you put comedy into it. Your just yourself and thats narly. Your videos have helped me a ton. And I've watched probably every disc golf tip video there is

[@scottgaringer]

Great tips. Thanks! Something that was not stated but is clear in this video… a casual, positive, in the zone attitude really accentuates all the tips and practice.

[@PanteraShakeshaft]

Sir, you are an inspiration. Keep the videos coming, every time I watch one, I can immediately see improvements. The concepts you lay out are so well putt(pun intended)!

[@mech0p]

I remember when i first started to try and learning spin putting. There were like 3 videos on the entirity of youtube that walked you through it and none of them really worked with my style. Now im back into golfing again and trying to relarn the spin putt and there has been like 20 videos just this year posted on it. Gotta love all the channels like these trying to help people learn the sport and give them less of a learning curve.

[@jeremylevitt5957]

Best video so far bro! The hand turn at the end of the putt is awesome advice. I'm playing in my first mini tonight and can't wait to use the advice. Keep up the awesome work Robbie!

[@justinfarrugia92]

Dude this video is a game changer everyone needs to watch the last tip it’s the key to bird land !

[@JFlynn1207]

Pronation and supination... interesting. Haven't heard anyone talk about that in regards to putting. I'll check it out during my next practice session. Thanks, Robbie!

[@andrewbaxter6923]

Great video! Always good to have an imaginary friend behind the basket. 😄 and as always love the background music! Makes me happy

[@chrisschuster9828]

Holy cannoli, Robbie! I finally got my hands on a few brand new R Pro Pigs @ 170g and my putt game has EXPLODED! Wow. Idk what it is but it’s clicking quickly.

[@toddreed5907]

Thanks Coach! You have helped me big time. Look forward to more videos.

[@neddanski]

That last tip with the finger placement did a huge improvement for me. Awesome tip from an awesome man..many thanks dude!

[@DadAboutIt]

Dang Robbie, your putt looks so clean! Makes me want to practice, time to wheel out the practice basket. Lets GOOO!

[@stevenosmond2168]

Well Robbie C. Your videos are always spot on and I stay alert by the way you bring your content. But as far as that goes, I have been playing since 2014 and have yet someone to help me at the course. So keep up the good work and I'll try to implement what content I watch. Thanks.

[@imstevebarry]

this is the video I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!

[@sebastianmendoza6875]

ROBBIEEEE I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU MAN!!!!! Honestly just started watching you not to long ago and bro you have help my game massively. Such a great help

[@thejesusandmannychain95]

Great video! Only issue I have is I’m not understanding how to pronate my putting hand/wrist. Def have more of an understanding of supination when it comes to putting and driving

[@reedcole5780]

Watch Eagle putt, his palm ends up facing down

[@MrHardgabi]

same it's hard to imagine

[@kathyzumwalt2501]

I would like to understand this better, too. I can’t reason through how you get more power using pronation. Any links where I can learn more?

[@CentralOSurvival]

Nice haircut bro! Great advice..as I've been struggling with my putt a bit..thanks man!!

[@derekexplosion]

gonna hit the practice basket now, thank you for the tips, you always break it down so well

[@dgqueen]

Thanks, RobbieC, for this video. I watched this before a tournament and each time I went up to put I drained it thanks to your advice!

[@rossdelrio246]

Great video! I’ve been noticing the pros putting with supination or pronation. Do you have more info on how to do this or slo mo footage of what your hand/arm is doing? May be an idea of a future video?

[@redsleaves]

I was here to make this request...

[@jordanghaim4595]

Awesome tip Robbie! I've been following the channel for the last ~7 months since I started playing, and just recently shot my first 900 rated round! Thanks for the help! 1000 rated here I come! lol

[@93jcbaby]

This is what I have been waiting for!! Thanks Robbie!

[@nickbonnett]

ughhhh, Robbie you are speaking directly to me. I always am thinking about the comeback putt. I've played with lots of people better than me, and they putt with so much more power than I do.

[@RobbieCDiscgolf]

We can’t have a comebacker if we just put it in the basket! 😉😉

[@jerryegan1611]

This very helpful. I've been looking for some tips on how to get more zip on my disc. Thank you!

[@videosverigenu4621]

6:20 I have always been an opponent to putting with my index finger Under the disc (for no reason). I am definitely Gonna Try This Out!

[@andreashoppe1969]

I changed my putting stance over the year. I thought i was doing well but I wasn't. So I was placing lies every meter til 20 meters. I was then really starting at 1 meter and moved back as my muscle memory kicked in. I change the way I reach back and where my hand goes etc. I changed my stance etc and applied philo's "apple pie" tipp about the rhythm etc. I tried to smoothen my putts as much as possible. When forcing with my hands I had all kinds of weird movements in my hand. But now most of my force comes from a smooth weight shirt and the hand just guides the disc really.. building on the momentum caused by the weight shift. I think that training helped me a lot. I feel really comfortable inside C1 now and putts hit the same part of the basket most of the time. Next I will try to add elements like hight, straddle etc. I'm starting to feel confident at 10 meters and made putts from 13 meters too. Getting way more putts in from that range than before. My longest putt was 15 meters. Something I couldn't do before. So practicing putting is super cool and fun once you found a motion that works for you. My drive is still a mess butt my putting game has saved me quite a few strokes already. My goal is to extend my range to 20 meters now. Good luck on your putting

[@liveac3694]

That first tip is legit brilliant. Tried it out a few times and it feels surprisingly good already.

[@perezparty2870]

These tips are awesome man thank you!! Keep up the awesome work!

[@benharrison5816]

Good tips. The only time I worry about the comeback putt is the dreaded dropoff behind the basket, or when the basket is on a steep hill with hard dirt around it. Missed a 15 footer for bird the other day and it rolled to about 50 feet away 🤦 In those cases it helps to think about how the disc will land in case I miss, or even just slide it up by the basket if I'm not confident. Sometimes just need to minimize those bad mistakes rather than go for the glory.

[@bernan1]

another way to look at it is, if you know you make a high percentage from that distance, but now it has a dropoff, figure if you miss it will catch metal and not airball behind it. Meaning, be confident that you'll hit the basket on the miss, which tends to minimize the effect of the deathputt. I used this and it's increased my confidence on those putts. Also...if you find a basket with a dropoff...practice on it for a bit from a highly makeable distance. You'll find after a bit you won't even really care about the dropoff behind it.

[@Steve_Zilla]

Thanks, Robbie! This video is just what I have been looking for. You had some wonderful tips that should help me big time

[@paladin4God]

Great content as always my dude

[@gteche]

I really needed this! Thank you so much.

[@Hergenrader]

Thank you for your wisdom

[@calebpearce8095]

Robbie C, what are some wind discs that you would say are beginner friendly? Love the videos btw!

[@JacobLikesMusic]

Love this video! BUT I'm confused. I do a mostly spin putt, perhaps a bit spush, my arm is bent, I use my wrist, I mean it must be a spin putt right? I tried pronation and it's not doing me any good, it just adds hyzer to the angle, however when I tried supination the putts come out more flat and with more power. So that was great, but I think I need some more details, because I must be missing something. I can't really see you doing pronation on the spin example either, I tried to study it.

[@stevelilly5452]

Really enjoy the tips, really helpful. Can you share some tips on throwing uphill? I have only been playing for a year and uphill shots are still a major challenge. Disc selection would be very helpful. Thanks!

[@seanbereman4769]

Hi Robbie, this video and all of yours are so great. Have you ever cover subination and pronation in throwing? I’m certain there is something to it in the throw, as well. Such as, seeing a lot of pro’s that seem to have the disc in an anhyzer position in their reach back and it subnates to flat or hyzer once it reaches the power pocket. Interstuff and I would love to hear your input on this topic. It could really be the X factor that a lot of disc golfers do not have.

[@RobbieCDiscgolf]

Absolutely!! The guys over Overthrow have a FANTASTIC video on this one regarding nose angle!! Love what they are doing!

[@Allforknowledge76]

Great tips!! I’ve been playing for about 5 months and I’m playing in the intermediate divisions. Your videos have really helped me make big leaps in my progression. I would love to see a video on how to better execute back hand anhyzer (RHBH) that finish right. I’ve been practicing, having trouble gaining the confidence to execute in a tournament setting. Again, I love your videos and what you do!

[@billandvondaoconnor5598]

Great stuff....thanks!

[@theargolfer2084]

Can you do a video on finger placement for spin put

[@MrAnonymousCitizen]

Great content. Love it

[@jacob_coleman25]

Circle 2 putts are a struggle for me. Thanks robbie

[@samboi3830]

Thank you I needed this

[@LazDiv]

Does pronation and supination work the same for left-handed putters

[@robmichellesheely7069]

Does supinating get more spin on regular throws as well as in putting?

[@ForehandDiscReviews]

I see that when you do supination you start the disc at a Hyzer and supinate it to flat. so if you do pronation do you start the disc anhyzer?

[@Daniel-from-Texas]

How does pronation help with spin putting?

[@carterlink9792]

Hey Robbie, awesome content and advice here! I'm having trouble practically applying pronation of the wrist and forearm for putting. I understand the supinating stroke. I just don't, for the life of me, understand the mechanics of starting your putting stroke with your wrist upward and ending with it downward. is there a pro who does this well for me to reference?. Is Mr. McMahon doing the pronation you're talking about? is more of a subtle motion? Thank you greatly

[@blainegallant1063]

do you keep your fingers spread on the bottom? or do you keep them together?

[@elliotthill4761]

Are you using the same disc when you are throw multiple putts or different discs?

[@ricofowl9542]

What disc are you throwing?

[@BinaryBard64]

Macho Man Robbie C! Snap into it!

[@xzysyndrome]

Watched this video...decided to go the extra step and pour Pop on my putter. Grip is insane now...still having a hard time with C2.

[@chazzman8206]

Did Perfect Putt get removed from the App Store? I can’t find it

[@wesleyskiles2899]

Pronation for spin putts? I can't figure out how to turn my hand downward when spin putting (or any putting), it seems like it's supposed to be the opposite and use supination. Help?

[@TheKoyotetracker]

Thanks!

[@35mikeking]

Still working on rocking back and using my legs. I also can't figure out if I'm a push putter or a spin putter; I think I do a little of both if that's possible.

[@RobbieCDiscgolf]

The Spush is real!! I’d bet most of the DG world is in the spush category rather than one side or the other!

[@valsunho1407]

It's funny you should mention Calvin, because I thought straight from the beginning that your putting style was very similar to his. Even the grips are similar!

[@RobbieCDiscgolf]

I definitely tried to learn from his style as much as possible!

[@bcrave401]

I have heard about Perfect Pat 365 but I have not yet found a way to download it. Does anybody have any information on this?

[@WhoThaCazer]

can you give me a tip to get more power to putt uphill? i have more lofty push putt that is most comfy for me and i keep strugling give enuf height when im putting 4-6feet below even somethin like 15feet long puts.

[@RobbieCDiscgolf]

Where are you aiming on those uphill putts? For me the biggest thing that helps is either aiming for the band or aiming for the underside of the top of the basket! Aiming higher will help you subconsciously get a little more pop as well!

[@levimagruder8808]

Really needed this one! How did you decide to do push putting? How long did it take? :) I feel like I am in a weird inaccurate in between.

[@RobbieCDiscgolf]

I’m a TERRIBLE spin putter, and I felt like when I did spin putting my comebackers were often as far as my first putt. With push putting I could still give it a solid bid without leaving a good long comebacker. So even subconsciously I didn’t have to worry about misses, but it took awhile to perfect!

[@bearbainpro]

Thanks Robbie! Great tips as always :)

[@bbd1254]

Idk if the pronation for spin putters tip makes sense…you want to rotate out, not down.. right?

[@bcrave401]

I tried the link but it did not work

[@editingb4333]

This video was posted a while ago but I have a quick question for u.

[@HaikesXO]

I find a very very loose grip and wrist allows me to pop and spin it

[@TheCrimsonFear]

Ok, so maybe my brain isn't communicating to my arm but I'm so confused as to how to add pronation to spin putting. Like...how do I add that without basically throwing the disc down or wobbling like crazy. Some clarity would be much appreciated 😅

[@tonyphillips8555]

Do you ever miss a putt? My goodness, that man is on fire!

[@RobbieCDiscgolf]

🤣🤣🤣all. the. time. But I miss with confidence is always the hope!

[@tonyphillips8555]

Lol, same! Great video!

[@redsleaves]

@@RobbieCDiscgolf *quack*

[@jacobhenson5608]

I stand on one foot for circle one putts. It really does not take that much energy to get 30 ft. If anything drop your back leg back And get a little bit more arm movement. Just a personal preference I don't think there is a perfect putting form. Everyone does it a bit different. Enjoy the content bro keep it up. All tips are welcome but confidence is key. Stick to what you know and try and work off of that the more comfortable you are the better you're going to putt in general.

[@iicordii648]

I have a bad habit of skippin up to the basket instead of trying longer putts. A lot of local holes have giant drop offs on the opposite side of the hole so a miss could royally fuck you. I’m par champion, I’m just missing opportunities of winning more games by not being confident in my longer putts

[@steveclarkreborn]

Actually, leaving it short is preferred. Giving it enough power is what we strive toward, but would you rather it wiff the basket and fall to the ground or sail past it and have to make a more difficult putt? Play to your skill level. And that often means laying in putts on anheizer or scoober so they hit or land softly next to the basket without rolling or skipping.

[@EricVitoff]

Lol @ 6:47

[@brandonwilson5166]

Is that a ledgestone grip bag 🤪

[@RobbieCDiscgolf]

Hahaha it is not! Not that much of a baller!

[@joejett3995]

Great video but you didn't explain pronation and supination at all. Left me scratching my head wondering what you meant, and now I'm going to have to guess. Would love a more detailed explanation!

[@matt2eadgbe]

Honestly, I feel more comfortable stepping up to a 60ft putt than a 15ft putt. There are no thoughts of "I should make this".

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

that was you with long hair? I cut my hair 2 years ago for fun. I get it down to the middle of my back and then go choppy chopp.

[@bradschucker7054]

[@variator7466]

I don't need "pop" because if I miss a 20ft putt it will easily become a 30ft putt.

[@zackjohns323]

But Robbie, what if I have no friends?

[@RobbieCDiscgolf]

🥲I’ll be your friend?

[@jeremyhays9433]

I watch the video 3 times and I did not see a difference in your pronated or supinated putt. Your hand finishes the same in both. So I am really not grasping the concept

[@RobbieCDiscgolf]

Excellent question(?) Jeremy, and this was confusing for me at first as well. The key is not where the hand finishes, but how it gets there. After the active movement of the supination or pronation during the throw, unless you stay focused on it, your hand will return to a natural resting position. That is why my hand returns to the same place because my mind has changed focus points after the initial release. If you are trying to get your hand to a final specific resting position often you will end up missing the proper motion of the active movement. Does that help with clarification any?

[@cypressstockman465]

Tip Number 1? Just throw it in.

[@chapiiwin307]
