where do you miss your putts?

[Disc Chainy]

I seem to miss long alot. I'm always hitting the top ring of the basket. I've even parked them up there before

Here is that great putting diagram made into 30 smaller versions that can print on one sheet. You can find whatever uses you want, but I think I will use it with the Pozzy Putting Game and write in the distance of the missed putt. If you did this enough times, I think you could chart these in excel and you might see if your miss positions change as your distance changes. Should be real interesting.

Thats pretty cool. I think I will print these up and use them. Thanks.

I miss them all over the place, but mostly to the right... I have been struggling so much that I have started throwing my mid-range Buzzz... I hit the chains most of the time with this disc, but it tends to want to slide through the chains... I need to get the cheapest movable basket and set it up in the basement, and just throw disc after disc...

Thanks for this. I printed the single and doing this never occured to me.

I hit my first 9 of 10 20fters last night with my flx surge! I thinking about switching to it now.

NICE! I love the FLX SURGE! Oddly enough, when the wind is strong, I putt with my 175 Tee-Bird.

Most of my misses seem to miss to the right, ussually knicking the chains and bouncing off. I have "somewhat" repaired this by adding a little hyzer to my release.

I was playing in a snowstorm about two weeks ago and it was so windy I was putting with my new boss the funny thing is it actually worked pretty well in the gusts

I have improved my short putting game dramatically after watching this video and following Mark's advice. I have switched to only practicing with the putters (no more than 2) that I use when playing a round while limiting my putting practice to 15 minutes sessions (once a day).

You know the interesting thing about this pole is...

If you now know where you are missing your putts, you should be able to adjust where you are aiming and start hitting more putts.

If you miss right aim that much more to the left.

If you are short, imagine the basket that much farther back from where it really is and aim for that.

We should be able to compensate for these if this is where your misses are fairly consistent.

The only negative to this would be if your missing due to technique failure. When I miss right its because I dont release the disc with the right timing. So if I was to aim further to the left, I would now only hit dead center when I screwed up. My good releases would hit far left and have a greater chance of kicking out.

I agree that its good to know where you miss, but so that you can try to find a way to reduce that error, not try to compensate for it.

Mine usualy sweep around the right and go long, that is when they don't hit the basket and bounce off!

I didn't see a poll option for "at every course i play" so I didn't know how to vote

 

[solomon.trenton]

i have been sinking almost every putt lately. i just miss a few around trees.

 

[zoox]

most of the pins in stl have a green strip of tape displaying the hole#. i usually use that to guide my putt.

In the last tournament I played in I was making all my long putts from 50 feet and in but for some reason the ones within 10-15 feet that were wide open I hit the top or bottom of the rim. I compare it to a receiver who runs across the middle of a field and catches a ball in front of the DB's and just missing the linebackers but when I run a streak (straight ahead) and am all alone I drop it. It was just that kind of day but fortunately I was playing doubles so he made those for me. I was probably just overly excited about hitting the other big putts. I need to work on not rushing and relaxing.

Ill be checking this out ... we'll see just how good you are

 

[swellerdiscgolf]

I miss mine all over, but I know how to fix most of my problems...
miss high - lower the nose
miss low - raise the nose
miss right - change my hand placement on the disc

My buddy pointed out to me during the last round that when i was missing to the right, I was holding the disc around about 3 o'clock. When I changed my grip to about 12 or 1, I was dead center. It was weird but when I tried the throw without the disc, I noticed my hand was pointing off to the right before and straight at the basket afterward.

Me too!!! I putt with a 175 TeeBird when the wind is super strong. Glad to know I am not alone. I am honored that I have something in common with the great DGCRer Donovan!
