another common thing that people do is start with the putter out, pull back and rebound forwards. this can f things up royally, which is why i generally teach people to start at a fixed point at their body (mine is with the disc like 1/2" away from my belt) and move forwards from there. this avoids any kind of inconsistent wrist bouncing that can skew putts.
QFT.
I tried this today thinking maybe I'll get a bit more consistency or something, but holy Toledo! I normally start out away from the body pull in and then let it rebound, but I"m only pulling into about 8 inches from body and still doing a short arm putt. Basically right were my pecs are is where I'd pull it into. I switched to the 1/2" away from belt setup and I added about 20 feet to my putting distance. For a while there I was putting my putter over the basket at 20' or so.
I tried this today. Normally I use staggered stance, and the rebound technique. I tried to start from a solid point without the rebound, and the result was about 50% off the normal oomph. I'm trying this again in a few hours, but the results aren't that outstanding so far... Normally I can make a run without walking/jumping from about 45'. It does take a quite high route, but I can still hit metal quite often.
