I think this is consistent w/ what TF is sharing:
Seed, I'm hot and cold on learning in a basement around life stuff, but I guess we all work with what we've got. I've found all this helpful as a fellow "basement warrior" & it seems to be paying off outside in the long run:
1. Mechanics are sweet. I found
this post that sums a lot of it up super helpful. Improving putting has improved my BH and vice versa. If you have a clean swing and more power your options improve just like throwing.
2. Confidence & blocked practice are related. I used to feel a lot more helpless outside until I did the following.:
-Vary lines and heights for a portion of them (I know, it's a basement).
-Make some of the putts unusual. I started to develop a scramble anny putt navigating around the pole in the middle of my basement that has been ****ing money on the course for contested putts. Somehow that turned into the ability to throw pretty accurate flex putts without even practicing them.
-Run some puts hard at it (I have a backstop that's ok to hit). Try to get some to settle in softer.
These bits of variability make me much more confident outside, and with that comes the gumption to run it at the basket from all angles more often, and there are more sinks. I think that also is helping me get better at "planning misses" which further improves confidence. I seem to get more metal draws with less rollaways over time. The putter tends to splat and settle more often and I'm less intimidated by comebackers.
3. I move and reset my stance often. I put the putters just far enough away that it takes a step or two to get to them then avoid putting my feet in exactly the same place twice. Make 20
'-ish putts, 25'
-ish putts, whatever. That's more like what happens when you're in a round. Sometimes I'll practice throwing two from each stance like you see pros do when they are correcting misses from a particular putt. I also do that routinely in rounds when it's only me or maybe one other person.
4. Then gotta go outside! The 15 minutes I spend getting to the round early for some putts or tossing a disc with a friend always make me throw and putt better during the round. I wish I could do it full time. Disc golf rules.
Shake it up a bit and have fun with it. Fun matters.
