putting hand position

[discordye]

I personally use pointer finger on rim

 

[JTacoma03]

I put the first crease of my pointer finger under the bead when push putting - for the rare occasions that I use the spin putt I'll put the pointer finger on the rim.

 

[discordye]

I was curious what the stats were on this, very interesting so far.

 

[pspunch]

I use a fork grip for about everything now. feels like i get a lot better grip on the disc and it tends to release cleaner.

 

[drickanderson]

I putt with a birdie grip. It helps me keep the flight plate level, and just feels 'right' to me.

 

[bee_ryce]

the bead of the putter rests in the first joint from the top of my index finger.

I believe this is what feldberg teaches in his putting clinics too.

 

[RussMB]

I'm of the bead in the pointer finger joint as well.

I do the crease on bead. Which option do I choose?

 

[Triflusal]

flip putt. so accurate unless im more than 5 feet out or if there is wind

That's what I do too. For the poll, I chose 'Pointer finger under bead.'

 

[UncleSweat]

Pointer on the bead, Fan the rest.

 

[JMONEY]

Pointer crease under the bead and pinky against the inner rim and the rest fanned out.

 

[discordye]

This is weird to me, majority is under bead. I used to go with this, till Johnson showed me pointer on rim, much more power and accuracy, you guys should give it a shot. I changed.

 

[craftsman]

Can anyone give an example of a good putter that puts their finger on the rim?
And by good I mean someone I've heard of- not hippy harry and his 86 softie

their aren't any because it leads to inconsistent putting.

I used to do it, and it was frustrating

 

[snappyfingers]

Fan grip with pointer finger under the bead

Show me where its documented, I think it works. looks like a big majority does it this way from the poll.

I'm forehand.I shake hands with the basket.Confidence and consistency,they will go in.

 

[TxDiscGolfBoy]

Pointy finger on bead (when Rhynos are in use) or on the inward slope of the rim. Fan grip with the other fingers.

 

[DAN E.]

Ryhno is my pointy finger choise. I have 10.
