Putting 35-60 ft would be next on my list. I seem to hit alote of metal, but prolly only make 25% of them.. Thats just a guess could be worse. During practice I make tons of long putts. I just can't seem to make them when they count..

I started putting with a magnet, then switched to a Avair.. Later I used a Rhino (Which I did very well with) Then I toyed around with a challenger. Finally I came to rest with the Wizard. I've never looked back! 30ft and in is money. Outside the circle is bad but has been that way with every putter I've used

i'll say that ruder is the best i have seen at straight tunnel shots. i have no idea how he keeps that flash that straight. my worst is the two finger or the roller, probably because my two finger is a three finger.

I learned it from Smitty!


Pat told me you were an awesome golfer - He was right!
I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

For me its all "long bombing drives". My putting range has gone up something sick over the last year. I used to stress out when I landed outside 15 ft of the basket. Now Im knocking them down or at least hitting metal anywhere inside the 50 ft category. However, my drives have dropped in distance, and were never that long to begin with. Shifted from my 2 finger driving grip to a power grip this summer, and am just starting to figure some of the mechanics out. Apart from rollers, nothing else on that list feels nearly as allusive as "long bombing drives" .

I'd say putting outside of 35', but all that is bonus anyways. So I'd say sidearm,tomahawk,anything having to do with the two finger. Second would have to be breaking the 450' mark on my drives. Honestly after the KDGA season I'm going to start puting time into both. :wink:

Putting outside of 5 feets seems to be a problem for me that I just can't seem to fix.

Putt them higher and straighter. :D

Or just pretend that it is easy. Sometimes this helps. Espescially if you are crazy enough to believe yourself!

Jesse (can't remember his last name) that won the masters div in Ponca, said to just throw it in. He said from 30 feet you could throw anything into that basket, any kind of ball, your waterbottle, anything, so just throw it in! He said he tries to lay up outside 30', but he made every putt from 30' and in. Of course he made some outside 30' too! :roll:

I know it has to be mostly mental, but I can't seem to get past it.

Throwing from 120ft in. Since I am a new player I am always at this distance on longer holes. I feel comfortable with the putt but can never get inside the 30 ft circle. (My makable range) When I was at the Disc Unlimited tourney Brady Younger told me to throw my Magnet from this distance. I made one in the second round but it is so sporadic. Should I throw something more overstable so I hyzer the shot to the basket?
