Midrange and putter drives are the same as most driver drives, it's just a different disc.
The most important thing to do on approach shots is to relax. Tension causes most of the problems on "touch" shots. Get comfortable in grip and stance, stare down the target and let your natural ability put it by the hole. Over thinking (after deciding on the flight path) and tensing up will just cause problems.
4) Snap
The better i get the more i realize that this is one of the most important and underrated elements of the game. I mention this as you may be overcompensating your throw to absorb a "snap" (and throwing) issue.
If you have enough snap and throwing ability to push a putter 200' then this entire discussion is eliminated; you would be throwing with a power grip and not "over thinking" how to throw. You'd also consider this range to be a disc that is speed 5 or less (usually).
Disc down and see if throwing without thinking removes the issue.
Absolutely. Getting your putters and mids to fly right when thrown with a full drive is a really important thing to learn.Anyway, do you think I could learn better form by playing my local course entirely with a putter?
At your distance I'd defintely qualify you as a low snap player.I fear that I drive with absolutely no snap. I certainly don't feel or hear anything I would describe as snap.
I wouldn't get in that habit. Although I found doing it more comfortable when throwing thin rimmed discs, (As most mids are. Element, Skeeter, Impact.) it required me to compensate in my release timing and snap. IOW when I tried it, I never got it quite right and then had to work back to a more normal grip.
