The Official 'Ask Paul McBeth' Thread

[heartman]

Hey Paul,

I assume you use a type of fan grip for putting? I'm specifically interested in the pinkie finger: if it is tucked under the rim or if it is fanned out with the fore/middle fingers.

Thanks!

I know it's Salomon... just not sure which model. I love my Salomon Speedcross 3 kicks. I have two pair.

Check out this post.

It's the best to play at night, how would you compare it 2
Goat hill?

Also what's your average and best score at la mirada front 18.

i wouldn't say it's anywhere near Goat hill on challenge but it's a nice practice course

Probably a 10 to 12

What brand/type of shoe do you wear to play DG? Do you use different pairs for a mostly flat and even terrain course compared to a rocky/hilly terrain course?

Salomon is my favorite and a lot of top pros favorite. pretty much any salomon shoe is awesome in comfort and grip

 

[PMcBeth]

It's the Royals' year!


On a related note, favorite course in KC?

I can't say any other course besides water works. that course spanks me everytime!

i keep it fanned out. i dont want any chance of it hitting the inside rim of the putter

i believe we are going to CO after GBO

Woot! 303 Open! It is going to be a great event. Kyle and the guys at Phenix are working hard to make it one amazing event.

How badly will you kick my butt if I sign up to play the 303 Open?

I wouldn't say i don't like doing clinics i'm just not a great teacher.

.

I disagree with this, but I would say your a bit soft-spoken so maybe not the best person to speak in front of a large group

1 on 1 is way easier to teach

For three years I've kept my pinkie tucked, but today I'll be fanning it out. My putting was okay before, but hopefully this'll jump start my putting after a month of no playing due to school.

Thanks for the reply!

don't think i've ever played that course. so Roc3

I watched you play it. Bowling Green, KY

oh thats the tight drive to a open basket correct?

 

[Lurp Nuts]

yo paul, have you thrown any of the new champ teebirds? what do you think? i'm digging on the extra stability.

 

[NOStheBOSS]

oh thats the tight drive to a open basket correct?

Yes sir.

 

[SpringDgLover]

you can feel the difference in the plastic its soft in the middle but has a firm rim. they seem to be a brighter color also. they are the 2 colored stamped with averys name on them. regular production disc

Any particular weights, I remember Will saying back when he threw Innova that lighter weighted Destroyers like 167g's were more stable. I just have a bunch of really good straight to moderatley stable destroyers but I am missing a good beefy one.

 

[DikkaD]

Paul, what disc did you use at hole 8 on Manor? To refresh your memory it was the 805ft down hill hole. I'm especially interested to hear what you used on Saturday which was really windy.

 

[greenday]

I wanna start doing a lot of putting practice when my town gets a course soon and I have access to a basket every day.

What should I look out for? Practice different styles or just one? Practice from a distance where I can mostly make it or further where it's more difficult? Any other tips?

Congrats on your win today. I watched the whole event. Was pretty cool. My first one
