    Looking for a coach/personal lessons

    I’m looking for a coach in the Des Moines area for personal lessons. I’ve been playing for years, and looking over form advice for years but still can’t figure it out. I can only get the whoosh once in a while, it’s very inconsistent, and I’m more sure why I get it sometimes and not other times...

    Push Putt

    To each their own on putting. Going through my putt again, there is absolutely no wrist motion because I learned some time ago to lock it. In my opinion wrist adds too much variability to the putt and adds less power than what can be generated by the hips and fingers alone. Matatat - keep your...

    Flipping putter too much off tee

    What is the condition of the putter? If it's new, then somewhere your throwing mechanics are off. It doesn't sound like OAT though. I think including a video of you throwing would get you more helpful comments from other people here.

    Push Putt

    Feldbeard has a weird hybrid style of push putt where he may be actively opening up his wrist. However, most styles of push putts have no wrist involved at all.

    Bump. I'm also curious what this is and can't find anything about it via the Google.

    Push Putt

    I see what you're saying. I would leave the wrist out of it though. If you want to learn to push putt, you should learn to keep your wrist locked.

    That's not a push putt chief.

    Push Putt

    I release slight nose down and flat when there is no headwind. During headwinds, the release is with hyzer - with more hyzer with faster headwind. The trickiest putt is during a slight right to left headwind.

    Push Putt

    The wobbly nature is due to not using fingers to add some spin to the disc. All putts need spin, but the method by adding spin is different for each one. The power then comes from the hips. Learning the timing to putt long distances, consistently without a lot of effort comes down to timing when...

    Found a disc at Lemon Lake White course hole 3 then proceeded to lose my champ green roc deep in the rough on 15. I think Sarah Hokom was watching too :wall:

    ReLearning BackHand

    Hammer drills, right-pec/closed shoulder drill then slowly integrating steps followed by progressively longer reach back. If you're serious about it, this will take a long time (> 1 year) to just get a decent backhand unless you're a very gifted golfer. I dedicate most of my time to the field...

    1st Time playing in the rain

    I love playing in the rain because the course is quiet so you aren't waiting in line to tee off. Plus you can practice by taking multiple drives/layups/putts. Here are my tips for playing in the rain: 1) keep yourself as dry as possible by having some kind of rain coat and a hat, 2) carry an...
