100ft from the basket. What do you do?

[DiscingBen]

... I think that Midranges just come in too fast for distances that short, and you can way overshoot the basket, and they don't stick to the chains as well as a putter would.

^^^ This

I'd rather go for it with my aviar and be short instead of go for it with my buzzz, miss, get a nice skip and then have to try from the same distance on the other side of the chains :doh:

forehand flick a putter. Enough height to make it in but not too much to miss the comeback putt.

 

[Skunk]

This is a good question but difficult for me to vote on since it would depend on the hole and where I was. For instance:

1. If I was playing doubles and my partner layed it up with no obsticales, I would throw a midrange right at it.

2. If I was playing solo and I had no obsticales, I would throw a "safety go" with my putter. I would try to make it but if I miss I would be able to drop it in.

3. If I had little to no arial shot with something between me and the basket, I would either backhand or sidearm a driver for the skip shot. Depending on the lie would determine how I would throw.

4. If I had no room for the skip shot due to bushes right in front of me....roller.

5. If I had no room for an arial, skip or a roller and had a bush in front of me, I would throw a pancake toss. Not sure what you guys call it on here, but I call it a pancake toss.

go for it with the soft magnet, straight at it, nose up so it lands soft and flat if(when) it misses. might use a soft focus if it's breezy.

 

[aussieshs89]

Being a converted Ultimate player, I do what comes natural and go for it with my putter thrown just like an Ultimate Frisbee. With a comfortable green around the basket, I use my KC-pro Aviar (big risk for runaways), but with an unforgiving green I use my R-pro Dart to make sure it stays close to the basket.

 

[kcplease]

I just toss a magic at it and hope it goes in. I don;t try to lay up, but I dont try to make it either, I just go at the general area of the basket.

 

[DannyM]

Depends on a few variables: wind, tight shot, wide open, straight, slight left/right, etc... However, I will say that 90% of the time, I will pull out my Gumputt, which will fit most of the situations, unless it is a severly strong wind. Also been known to flick putt my pig a lot as well. Both are very good at sitting where they hit and not rolling.

 

[Fishy]

Soft Summit, unless it was breezy, then Medium Ridge. That being said it always depends on terrain and such. And what conditions played in, if it's doubles, a solo round, rec round, scored. That depends on if it's a lay up or go for chains. With the Summit it doesn't matter a lot if I miss it doesn't go far.

 

[magictenor1]

I would throw the putter for sure. Either straight at it or with hyzer depending on obstacles and conditions. From that distance and a little closer I often throw a high floating shot that has some chance to drop in but will end up close if not. I never go hard at a basket from that far away.

 

[HybridZombiw]

I throw my z buzzz like im putting and flick it straight. It usually ends up under the basket, 5-10 ft from it or hitting the basket and falling out.

 

[i_throw_bricks]

Lay it up unless I'm going for a personal best on a round. As I see it, the odds of missing long and ending up with a bogey are too high.

 

[garublador]

I'll aim to lay up back and to the left (or right if I throw it forehand) of the basket with a shallow hyzer. It's kind of like going for it, but the main goal is to leave a putt if needed. Basically, I throw a shallow hyzer and pretend I'm throwing to someone who's not very good at catching. I want it to get to them, but not to be going fast when it does.

And I didn't vote jump putt because I hit way more baskets with an approach type shot than I do with a jump putt. I'm not a very good jump putter yet.

 

[pchitti]

Really depends on the shot, some putter some midrange.

 

[i_throw_bricks]

And I didn't vote jump putt because I hit way more baskets with an approach type shot than I do with a jump putt. I'm not a very good jump putter yet.

Seconded.

 

[i_throw_bricks]

Seconded.

Is that even a word?

 

[chrishysell]

you need to add "I Putt" as an answer

 

[UncleSweat]

I go for it most of the time, if its really windy, or really heavily wooded, I'll probably just lay up.

 

[stsren]

I'll throw my FLX Buzzz aiming to the right of the basket and playing it fairly safe...if I miss it will fade and stick pretty well (FLX doesn't skip much when you throw it flat)...If it goes in, great.

Don't throw my putter b/c my finger gets caught on the rim (deep rim on the Focus) at times and causes a horrid shot out to the side and a sure bogey...

 

[discer47463]

I throw a yeti aviar for my lay up. My philosophy is take the birdie when its there otherwise go for par.

 

[Craton]

Sort of toying with this exact scenario lately. I've taken a liking to putting my putter nose-up, but keeping it low. Let's me do sort of the later stage of an air bounce in Ultimate. Highly accurate, and when it lands, it drops.
