@@amandabenoit1603 Short approaches feel so awkward to me also. I thinks it's why I developed such a putt in the first place. Just feels so much easier to be accurate at this range when I'm not trying to "throw" as soft as I possibly can. Hope it works out for you and thanks for watching!

@@codylarue9976 Not required but definitely makes the gap larger with the way those 2 trees are staggered. It's also only a 6 foot gap vs the larger 15ish foot gap.

I throw 125ft putter sidearms at my practice basket all day. I consider outside the bullseye a bad shot from that range now. I'm not even talking 3 speeds, i don't even own one. I flick aviars, judges, and an ancient dx birdie on any line i want on scrambles inside 150. It saves me tons of pars in the woods.

@@TrevorMiller-sq6up Between the 2 courses with 2 layouts each it's really a fantastic disc golf location!

@@LuceDiscGolf my best is -1 at 13 years old on the north course

@@TrevorMiller-sq6up That's fantastic! Keep it up for sure! I know people who have played for years and still struggle to consistently stay under par there.

@@zaco_disc If I make it happen at some point I will 100% get you the invite sir.

@@r.english3480 Thank you! We JUST finished our trip (filmed this like 5 days ago). Happy we are going to be able to be near family for our little guy! Plus I can't wait to play Vermont course's, I'll miss Michigan but it feels good to be home.

@@derpderpin1568 I mean that's just like your opinion man. I rather throw into a net in the winter and practice putting instead of taking my lower body out of my form and learning to arm it all winter on slippery / ice covered grounds. I'm certainly not going to plant hard on ice so idk how you are getting your form right but that's fantastic that you can.

I think i get what your asking, I would love to make that video! Thank you for the suggestion. It might be a couple down the line as I have some that I am working on at the moment on top of moving half way across the country this weekend but I am adding it to my list for sure. Thanks for watching!

She would be the definition of the exception to the rule! You can absolutely build a strong game centered around drivers. Ohn is my favorite FPO star so thanks for calling me out on that! Just goes to show this game can be mastered in different ways.

@@LuceDiscGolf real talk I mostly throw mids and putters and it's done wonders for my game the past 2 years

@@LuckyDogwood I hear you there, last season I took everything faster than a 9 speed out of my bag and saw HUGE improvements as I really learned to work with discs appropriate for my arm speed. Now I am getting my Zeus out over 400 and it feels great, much attributed to that season of work. Not to mention my upshots on par 4s and 5s (and after shanks) have improved as well.

I'm a big fan of MVP / AXIOM when it comes to throwing putters. The Proxy is my go to form helper disc. If you don't release it smooth it will tell you for sure. The Glitch is also always good for this but for some may be a little too difficult to learn with as it requires a very smooth release to fly well, I would almost say it's more of a second step after you are seeing an Axiom Proxy fly well. The trick is to look for something that sells itself as a neutral to slightly understable flyer. An Aviar will work for this, I have a few in DX plastic and if I throw with any wobble they start to really turn, especially once it has gotten beat in a bit. Another reason I recommend MVP / AXIOM for throwing putters is that I find they beat in slower than other brands, allowing you to get a consistent flight path longer, even if you are hitting a lot of trees! Other than that find what feels comfortable in your hand. If you play with other people see if you can try what they throw. If the grip feels comfortable that's the best starting point. For instance Aviars feel a little awkward in my hand so I don't have on in my bag anymore.

@@scootermustang7683 it definitely feels like you need to smooth it out to get a good flight out of it. My forehand has improved since making this video, I might want to try it again and see how it flys with a more dialed throw. Backhand though, was loving it for sure.

@@mikepitts8470 It's actually a custom dye I did! Thanks!

I died it myself! It chained out, was close!

Thanks for pointing that out! I love it!

First, thank you for the compliment! Especially after a short approach, like the hole is just a formality at this point. If it's testy, I miss, or something interesting happened I'm always filming anyways and will keep it in the cut.

Thank you! Off the drive I was thinking I was like 15 feet but it got down that little hill! That putt felt FANTASTIC though!

1 disc rounds can be AMAZING! It takes all the uncertainty out of your shot choices and you just throw! I love it. Glad to hear it worked out for you so well!

Thank you! I WON! Not only that I won a basket raffle too!

@@LuceDiscGolf nice job! I lost 2 discs today, but found a no name judge. Black berries are terrible right now

@@Jeb223 I practically call this "itchy season" from all the scratches my legs get / my inability to be cautious of poisonous plants.

Might not be the best advice lol

"Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man."

@@LuceDiscGolfNOT an opinion because we can SEE the Frisbee in your hand!

@@samiam619 I mean, still playing golf, just with a frisbee

So if I roll a bowling ball into a cardboard box, you'd call that golf too?

@@andrewphilps491 I mean whats the par?

Well said, coming from an am with a pro brother❤

Absolutely 💯. The big difference is at the high level you need both. I think playing safer in earlier divisions will lead to success and help with learning how to manage courses / manage a win. I just won this past weekend at a local c tier and round 2 I played for par in heavy winds, safe shot after safe shot. Got a couple birdies but the field loss to the wind while I just held on to my lead from round 1.

I think the main point I am trying to drive home is that getting clean off the tee is more important than hitting putts due to the scoring possibilities. I'm not saying putting isn't important, I even close saying it has it's own level of importance, I just think that more strokes are saved tee to green than green (counting C2) to basket. Also, getting better off the tee doesn't mean going for the bird it just means insuring the 2 or 3 instead of bringing 4 even in as an option (par 3 as example). I guess the point to stress is a truly "safe every drive" round results in less BAD opportunities and will default give you some GOOD opportunities and at the AM levels (Title is: "...Disc Golf Strategy for Beginners" after all) mitigating bogey strokes can lead to more success than chasing birdies while also teaching how to manage courses within your own skillset.

Yep, I remember that hole by the street. Just came up for vacation and played with old friends.

Fantastic little course am I right?

@@LuceDiscGolf, yes. Wish it wasn't so spaced out there. Take forever to move to and fro. I learned how to play there years ago. Knollwood was 1st coarse I ever played.

Here in kansas city I can navigate so much more quickly

@@tremendous9137 Knollwood just had 6 new holes added! Check it out next time you are around.

It's been nice to get back out in the warmer weather. Getting out in shorts certainly was a fantastic feeling. Thank you for the sub and it makes me immeasurably happy to hear you enjoyed the content!

The Pilot has been on my radar for a minute. Might have to make sure it's in my next putter video. I have an Eclipse Proxy and can agree on it being a laser. The Watt really isn't doing it for me, great flight but just doesn't feel fantastic in the hand so I've put it on the shelf for now. That Atom though, that's going in the bag along with the Proxy. Glitch is staying in aswell.

I might fit it in my bag eventually but right now my Fuse is just too good in this slot and I use the heck out of it in the woods as well. That Paradox is soooo flippy, I could see it being a good flippy disc for slow arm speeds but beyond that just way too touchy to rely on (get out of jail disc?) Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!

Would have been somewhere around November 1st

Have thrown the Archer but want to try that Origin as well. I'll have to get my hands on one. Great for working on form, you are spot on there.

Hahahah looks like it eh? I just really love their putters.
