I was able to turn one of the weakest parts of my game into one of my strengths from 2022 to 2023. In this video I talk about some of the keys as to how that happened since I thought some of you may be interested.

    Using your advice, I accidentally threw a 10 lb weight at the gym mirror. Don't worry, per usual, I missed.

    Excellent content. Three years ago I decided to fix my horrible putting during the winter. I bought 50 putters, analyzed several of the best pro putters, chose Chris Dickerson, and threw 10,000 putts emulating CD. The difference was amazing. Just took a concerted effort every day.

    Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with us! I learn so much from you. To anyone reading this, I've really improved my putting by just putting three times whenever I play a course. This does a lot for you: 1. You get a lot of practice putting cold, and it's your cold performance that counts. 2. You learn to correct bad wind reads, etc.

    Instead of weights, I put a harness on my dog (mini schnauzer, hoping to upgrade to a standard schnauzer eventually) and do putting reps holding him. The wiggling he does really simulates putting during a breezy day. He hates landing in the basket but he loves being outside so I think it's a tradeoff.

    Those UDisc stats really show how good the tour has gotten… in just one year. keep up the good work!

    It’s crazy my form is actually identical to yours didn’t do it on purpose but it’s definitely the most effective way for myself personally. Pre setting for me helps alot because it reduces the inconsistency’s when loading and releasing 🤙🏻
  • Ezra, my putt was in absolute shambles and this video saved me. I can enjoy disc golf again. Thank you.

    Power DG Academy coach represent! One of my favorite pros is now one of my favorite coaches! Nice Ezra, thanks man!

    This is pretty much the putt style I use. I got into disc golf during the covid boom and spent a whole week doing putting sessions to figure out the best form for myself that felt natural but still got the distance and accuracy I wanted in my putt. The only thing I do differently is after setting up like you, when I got to bring my hand and putter down I loosen my wrist. This makes it so the putter is the last thing to go down when setting up for the toss/putt and acts like a mini rubber band. By the time the disc has reached the lowest position in your putt form your elbow and bicep and forearm are already lifting up. Sorta guarantees you lead with your elbow and you get a little extra snap action in your putt.

    I recently been working on nothing but putting. One thing that actually made a huge difference in my putt was holding the follow through. I actually shake hands with the basket a second longer than I used to and really upped my percentage of made putts.
  • Straight line is the single most useful tip in all aspects of disc golf form
  • @TwoOneSe7en
    I’ve found for me, personally, having the wrist pre-cocked and loaded is key for max wrist pop consistency, and then having my elbow IN and less elbow flare is key for accuracy and repeatability. This forces the “pit” of the elbow to face the basket and provide maximum elbow pop forward and keep the disc on line. If my elbow flares to the side at all, it means my elbow “pit” is facing inward and my accuracy starts to fail. It sorta looks more like a Calvin putt, but a spin put… not a push putt.
  • The weight tip for practicing was pretty funny, but in seriousness, I do use a 280g training putter for developing the fine muscles for long C2 and beyond putts, so then when I'm actually practicing with my normal discs, they feel like nothing.
  • @Andyofsuh
    I do the putting workout with a 55 lb plate. Now my birdies turned into quad bogies
  • @robertjones1730
    Practice specific things and expand your bag of tricks. Skip shots, rollers, thumbers, sky annies, grenades, putting upside down, flick annie putt, knee putts, falling putts, dad putts... have something you've worked out for each of these so when it's your only option you at least have a plan.
  • @TRUSTintheSAVIOR
    I've been putting the Gannon way as well it's helped me but I'm still inconsistent. I often say im a 970 thrower but an 800 putter. What do you do with your fingers and wrist? At what point do you release them and are you focusing on your fingers?
  • @jaswan79
    I’m gonna have to try this preloading out. I have a very similar putting style, I put straight form my belt line, but I have found the farther back I go I start to pull the disc right. I guess I’m thinking I need to add more arm and I’m hold the disc too long….
