I hear a lot of people that talk about driving with their putters and midranges, but I don't get it. Other than a really short hole or worrying about a driver skipping too much, why would you want to do this? What are the benefits?

Mids are less forgiving when it comes to off-axis torque. Most people's forehand throws have some, if not lots of OAT which is why people prefer faster, more overstable drivers for forehand shots. Learning to throw a mid cleanly will help eliminate that unintentional OAT and help you gain distance and control. That's the reason people recommend throwing putters and mids to people wanting to improve their technique.I guess I need to work some more with my midranges, because I feel I have more control with my drivers. I hate the way most midranges feel in your hand. I have fairly large hands and prefer discs with larger lips that I can grip firmly. Also, I drive RHSA and I can't sidearm a midrange. I have to switch to backhand for my for my midrange throws, and I am not as accurate with my backhand.
