My putting has gotten a lot better in the last couple of months but I'm still worlds away from where I want it to be.
I've watched pretty much every putting video that's out there on YouTube but nothing has been able to fix my issue of putting nose down. But, I think I figured out why it's happening in the first place. Basically, I think I've been putting without using my hips to drive the putt. Assuming that's the problem I'm also left figuring out what the sequence is to push with the leg and generate enough power to get the disc in the bucket.
I *THINK* I start my putt by moving my arm first AND then my back leg pushes so I end up raising the back of the disc instead of holding the nose up angle.
I used to putt like Ricky but it was extremely nose down - I started looking at Chris Dickerson because his putt looks so effortless and I was left thinking "How the hell does he generate any force?" and that's when I started to improve my putting. But now I'm back to putting nose down and hitting the front of the cage.
If I can get myself to just putt nose up even a tiny bit I will be extremely deadly.
The TLDR: for you guys that are good putters, what do you guys feel in your putt? Does your arm lag behind until you finish pushing off your back leg? Do you feel your shoulder/chest come forward to get your arm to start swinging?
