Do you hold a second putter while putting?

[@iDiscGolf]

Simple question. Do you hold a second putter while putting? (not talking about practice putting)

 

[scarpfish]

No. Doing so distracts from my routine.

 

[texhop58]

yes. it started because I would use multiple putters while practicing . I noticed I was putting pretty good during practice but it didn't seem to translate to in game. So I was like why not? lets see if it works. And sure enough putting with disc in both hands seemed to improve my accuracy.

 

[teemkey]

Yes. It forces me to keep my off hand off the putting putter, simplifying my routine. Clearly a towel would serve the same purpose. However, during casual rounds, I can immediately take a second putt.

Note: when I practice at home I generally use five putters, so I'm holding 4, then 3, etc. in my off hand.

 

[Broken Shoulder]

Yes, or a towel.

 

[CreemCheese]

I don't, but it seems like most people I know do.

 

[Dthunderchicken]

When I've done it it does feel natural, but I've never gotten into the habit.

No, never have, don't know anyone who does it, and I think it should not be allowed in sanctioned play - you should only be able to have the disc you are throwing in your hands and nothing else.

 

[VictorB]

No, because I put my putters on a stack on my stool when I'm practicing. I'm not holding 2 discs when I'm doing most of my practicing, so I'm not going to do it when I'm playing.

 

[threej21]

Yup.
Carried over from practice putting. Figured I do it while I practice, so might as well play like I practice.

 

[davistd0]

Yes. I always use 2 putters when warming up before a round so the first putt always has another putter in my off hand. Feels good to to have the same consistent feel once the first putt really counts.

I like the feel of a second disc in my off hand. Lately, I've been trying to putt without.... either way my putting is horrible!

 

[Broken Shoulder]

No, never have, don't know anyone who does it, and I think it should not be allowed in sanctioned play - you should only be able to have the disc you are throwing in your hands and nothing else.

Why?

 

[fritothedog]

Sometimes, I don't really notice a difference in accuracy, though maybe I should start paying more attention.

 

[MarkDSM]

I do not.

Assuming casual / lax rules on non game throws.. thing that bugs me a little that the thrower may or may not take that second extra putt. Occasionally causes pauses and annoyance. Have a couple buddies that I never know when and if second might go flying.

I'm sorry but this seems odd to me.

This was my train of thought too. The second putt during practice rounds also is something I do.

I use different plastic blends. Depending on weather and really just what's catching the chains that day. So sometimes I'm switching putter blends right before the putt.

He's probably the "no headphones" guy too.

I think everyone should be required to play at least aS poorly as I do, so I can cash.

 

[namar]

I said Yes because like lots of others, it is a habit that has carried over from practicing.
and like @iDG said, sometimes I don't know which blend Aviar I'll use until it leaves my hand.
