Driver's only go 30 feet farther than my putters

If you're getting your putters from one end of the soccer field to the other you're doing a lot of things right, and making a lot of us jealous. If your drivers aren't going much farther there's some sort of nose angle issue (you're throwing nose up) that you need to figure out. As was stated earlier, check your grip and wrist orientation to make sure they're correct.

i would think you would need more height on your putter to get the same d unless u are throwing a pig or a zone

one simple tip that is sure to add distance, stay on your toes through-out your whole throw,run-up,x-step, all the way through your release, STAY ON YOUR TOES

tweaks = modifications to get more distance. Without seeing a video it's hard to say what the exact issue is...if there is an issue. But most likely you're overusing your arm and shoulder and pushing the disc, or you're speeding up too fast before the hit. Though if you're getting there with your putters maybe not.
But hell if you're 15 years old and getting 320+ with your putters...you're much better off than most of us were at that age. The distance will come over time though. Honestly if you concentrate on accuracy over distance right now, the distance will increase.

Post some videos I would like to see this kid crush it!

I parked a *slight* downhill 360' hyzer shot with an aviar P&A. (Banklick #2, if anyone knows it). It can be done. Granted, it was 5-6 years ago, when I was playing with putter drivers a lot.

Yeah, I have a buddy who plays with Spiders, Roc, Sharks and Omega SS only...maybe something else. I'd say he's 350' accurately with any of them.

300' with a Wizard isn't as hard as it sounds. but 300' with a Wizard and only 330' with a Valk sounds like nose up/nose angle issues. you need to come over to the dark side to find your best answers.

Haha it's kinda funny that half of the threads in our technique forum link to DGR. I like both sites though. I think it's good that they are somewhat connected.

I had a 350' putter throw once. I'm guessing Scoot_er has at least that much power on command.

Does that take alot of height to get them that far? I would assume, yes, but that it is a hyzer flip type throw. I'm trying to find the balance in trajectory angle, without sending them up and hyzering out early.
I played National Doubles a couple times with a guy named Craig Leyva (nicknamed Leyviar). No lie - this guy was like - 450 an in - just an aviar - headwind? better throw a roc! We took 5th and 9th the times we played. Putter distance is a lot of fun - I can still throw my aviars well over 300' (maybe not 400 anymore - but back in the day
