Get a stack of DX teebirds and a stack of your choice putter and go the field. Don't take your hole bag, just bring 1 or two different molds and work on them.
start with the putters... throw the stack, walk and retrieve, then thrown them back. do it a few cycles then switch to the teebirds.
Get used to that Banger and Buzz! I am a devout Banger devotee and will highly recommend it. One thing I've noticed is that when I use my banger to putt (usually I use it for approach only and putt with magnets) I have the most success with an aggressive, whip-like spin putt (spin putting is putting like throwing normally FYI). How do you putt? Are you aggressive or do you tend to lay up?
I go for it each time. I will usually end up missing to the side and having to come back for it or being weak on the delivery and dropping in front. Since I don't practice putting much, I couldn't really tell you what style I use as i have just been doing whatever I can to get it in.
Next up: checking out putting styles on youtube to practice.
You may have heard this bit of wisdom already, but try focusing and aiming for a single chain link somewhere near the center of the basket. That way, if you miss your target you're still likely hitting chains. It may be mostly psychological but it truly helps.

I had not thought of this or heard it before and will have to try it. :thmbup:

Simplify your game and bag as much as possible. If you are too busy to master 15 discs or whatever you are carrying, narrow it down s small as you can, and practice with those discs until you are happy. Then add 1 disc at a time to fill a major need. That will all change as you progress.
Having a backhand and forehand is great for your game, IMO. however, I don't see any real gains in being ambidextrous. I've tried exclusive backhand for the past 4 years, and have been practicing my forehand for the past few months and it is a lot of fun being able to throw shots on holes that I would struggle with backhand. To make everything less frustrating, maybe just have one goal per round. i.e. I'm going to work on my reach back today. You said your mind was going a million miles an hour, if you slow down and concentrate on one thing, I think you'll be pleased with the results at the end of the round. After a few rounds, you've improved multiple aspects of your game, and it will all start to come together
If you can eliminate the "if" from your game, abidexterity is a good thing. If you throw shots because you feel like that's the right line, whether or not you're good enough to throw it, you've got an "if". "If I pull off this shot, it will work perfectly."
I just feel like you can accomplish every shot with a backhand forehand and its a waste of time to incorporate the off hand, but that's my opinion
I have been working on my LHBH so that I am not using my right arm and shoulder as much. The shoulder gets sore from using a lot, and every throw that can be made with the other arm is more disc golf that I can play.I just feel like you can accomplish every shot with a backhand forehand and its a waste of time to incorporate the off hand, but that's my opinion
