Having fun in the garage, 50 putts from 20ft in 90 seconds

[burnin4]

I was having some fun in the garage this weekend, decided to take a quick vid. I was curious to see how fast I could throw 50 of my putter's, lol. JK Aviars, Judges, Challengers, Ions, Rhyno's, Yeti's, Zone's, Wizards, and PA1&4's.

^I zip tied my chains to an inner ring and ran string thru them to pull them tight, creating a much smaller target for my discs to hit. It's my ghetto Bullseye basket, but it works.

That's definitely a good work out, had to walk that one off. I try to throw 200+ per day, but not for speed, haha. Anyway, hope it was worth your time!

Nice! Good fun. And cute corner placement. I think I only saw one bank in.

I can bank shot them like no other, haha! The corner makes it easier to collect all my misses. My garage floor is marked off at 20ft and 25ft in a few different areas, try to throw 150-200 putts per day, 1,000+ per week.

Cool! Thanks for posting!

Very nice set up... Anyone that owns 50 putters is serious about their short game.. That must really help your scores...

^yep, my player rating jumped about 30pts in 1 year after focusing on field work and garage putting, night and day difference.

Nice...thats a good range to shoot from. I really need to practice my putts from inside the circle. I though I was going a bit overboard by having ten putters, but fifty somhow sounds logical now!

 

[Golden Tuna]

Good idea. I always look at my practice basket in the back yard and say to myself, "I need to go practice."
Unfortunately, the only time I touch it is when I'm cutting the grass and need to move it...

You really need more putters.

i see a bunch of different putters there. I guess its good practice for the putting motion but seems like it could mess you up also, especially with the follow-through and release. I only practice with the same putter with all the same weight. Even looking at the discs you have, judge, avair, ryno (i think that pink says ryno) i mean those feel very different in the hand. I think i see some beadless also mixed with judges which are beaded.

Do you do this often? I went to a clinic with Chris Sprague, and he talked about practicing all sorts of shots in this sort of rapid-fire way. Just wondering if you saw benefits in it, and what they might be.

Yes, I have all sorts of putter's but I only putt with soft Judges and JK Aviar's, and I have 12 each of them. I use rhyno's and Zone's for FH upshots, and I've managed to keep 2 of every other putter that I like (Wizards, Ion's, Doss Challanger's, other). It definitely feels strange putting with my champ rhyno's and Zone's after throwing a handful of Judge's. this vid was more for fun then anything.

No, I do not practice putting for speed, haha! However, I practice from different positions and distances almost everyday. I wouldn't recommend practicing speed putting, I'd rather focus on good mechanics and becoming comfortable with what works for you.

As far as the video goes, I basically wanted to throw 50 putter's at my basket from 20ft and see how many I could make in the shortest reasonable time, for fun.

I like your idea for bringing in the chains closer together. I'll have to give that a try.

I was stating that when you "build a shot" with the proper mechanics that you can repeat it over and over in a rapid fire fashion. The ability to repeat a shot over and over is a by-product of good mechanics. Not necessarily something I would use for training purposes.

Take care.
