I might have an explanation for the breathing thing: So, I am a college tennis player, and I was curious why grunting seemed to help add pace to my serves. I saw a video a while ago explaining that studies had been done about tennis players grunting before they hit a serve or ground stroke, and how that actually DID add speed to the ball. In short, it’s because grunting (exhaling, just really fast and loud) engages the core muscles and stabilizes the whole body, keeping everything compact before exploding at the ball. I imagine it might be something similar with exhaling right before you putt... it engages the core a little bit, keeping your whole body engaged and everything in line where you want it to be. Thanks to those who stuck through this whole long winded comment 😅
Its also done in almost all martial arts both when getting hit and while hitting something. Its also done in shooting aswell but there its not really the grunt but holding your breath
I started using my stomach/core to initiate the start of my putting stroke. In really seemed to help my consistency and accuracy. The benefit of pushing the disc forward with your stomach sound similar to the exhaling out and engaging the core. It also helps with timing too by starting with the leg and body 1st then fishing with the arms and wrist last.
Don’t think about making the putt. Think about finishing your stroke. You should have the same stroke inside the circle, so If you go from point A to point B (your start to release point) successfully then you will make the putt.
Dude I LOVE the idea of this video. Plus of course I always appreciate how much effort you put in from the filmography and youtube creator side to even just practice putting to test this out (how genius to make a video where you literally just practice putt and you get to work on both youtube and disc golf!) +, all of these tips are pretty genius tips.
I putt with a hybrid between push and spin, maybe leaning more to spin nowadays. A tip I got from a friend was to curl my wrist before I start the putting motion rather than having my wrist straight when I start. This has helped me a lot with my concistency while putting.
Great video, I use the rope idea, but I also attached markers on the rope at different footage. And absolutely loved seeing RobbieC dancing at the end. Thank you so much for everything you do and all of your hard work.
I've watched this video a few times and had to report back that while I thought it was dumb at first, bringing the off-hand elbow back and breathing as I putt really helped my putting game this past weekend.
Alright I wanted to post a tip in the other videos but a lot of good ones came in. Here is my tip for getting out of head during a round. I often struggle with changing my putt during rounds or over thinking my putting retune. It oddly ties into the finger tip you shared in this video, although I had never heard of it. When you need to reset your putt or wipe out the over thinking, focus only on the tips of your fingers, how they are on the disc and the spin off the fingertips. This is the last point of contact between you and your putt, focus only on that point and your body takes over. Simplifying it down allows you to reset, even during your round.
I go into "I'm a little teapot" stance with my off arm when I putt. It effectively puts my elbow back as in the tip here. The reason I started doing it though was to minimize any unnecessary motion in my putt. All my friends make fun of it, but I'm also thr best putter out of my friends so...
I consider this video a must-watch if you are looking to improve your putting. I implemented the elbow back and exhaling techniques and it greatly improved my putting, where before my comfortable range was within 20 ft and now I’m making 50% at 25-30 ft. The elbow trick really helped keep my putts straight and less yanking shots right on long putts. The exhale helped bring rhythm and confidence to my putting motion. Great video and content.
I think the off arm elbow tip squares or opens your chest to the target slightly. I will have to try it out more. I walk up to my putt and place my right foot behind mini. Then, put my left foot shoulderish width apart like I'm going to straddle putt, before taking a step back into stance. This also helps me Square up to the target better.
The absolute best putting tip is to practice making putts. Don't immediately start at 25 feet. It is extremely discouraging to go out to practice and then only make like 3% of your putts each time. Practice for where you are in your game and work towards better. I like to start at 15 feet and then only move back once I make the whole stack. So 14 makes gets me to 20 ft. Then I don't go farther till I make a whole stack of those. I'm now to the point where it's just sort of a routine to make a stack at 15 and a stack at 20. Then comes the 25 ft where my problems currently are. The stack is just the number of practice putters in my basket. Completely a random number. Currently it's 14.
I'm not sure how you would even test this but I find that putting twice from a spot and then moving before putting twice more in practice helps me in rounds way more than putting from the same spot over an over when I practice.
On the subject of exhaling when you putt. I believe that helps the timing of the putt. Philo Brathwaite speaks about this in one of his putting clinics. He calls it apple pie. It's essentially a 1 2 rhythm you put your body into that improves timing and consistency. Here's the link to that clinic he starts talking about it around 9:40 th-cam.com/video/nn-5OGJFnMw/w-d-xo.html
I am using something similar to the rope, which I find more effective. I bought some of those slalom rods that are used in soccer practice. About 3-4ft high and put two of those in the exact line to the basket. One is almost in reach so that „shaking hands with the basket“ is actually like touching that pole. Gives me a reference for height of release as well and a close aiming point when putting from further away.
I do the rope trick, but I just visualize. Playing Tiger Woods golf for the Wii actually helped me. The putting shows slopes and power etc. I just kinda visualize the same thing when I’m putting.
I saw this tip (roughly) in a Scott Stokely video on The Disc Golf Kid channel once: Make sure that your feet push towards the basket while stagger putting. You can check to make sure your stance is properly aligned by rocking heel to toe to feel where your body is pointing and adjust your stance from there. 2nd tip: Finish your follow through at or above eye level, it gives you feedback to know why you missed left or right.
Hey Jesse! It was super awesome to meet you at Prickly Pear over the weekend! Looking forward to your future releases, and happy to have another channel to sub to. Hope your round on Saturday was excellent.
Haven't gotten to use this tip myself, but saw it on TH-cam: Make two videos about putting tips, forcing you to do 1,000 practice putts. Muscle memory! Genuine tip, though: anything 25 feet and under, tell yourself "I'm just cleaning up." A good way for me to "not think about it"
Have multiple ways of practicing. (Most people want to get as many putts in as possible, so usually we just do putt after putt after putt, taking very little time and all of that. Not only can that be boring, it also means you aren't ever practicing under pressure, or ever practicing like you play.) 1. At first, I usually do 100 putts all in a row, not taking too much time over each putt (another tip is to make sure you take time over each putt, but just a few seconds to lock down and focus on each one.) 2. Another way of practicing is doing putting games. (Like Perfect Putt 360, or others you can find online) Focus on each putt and making sure that you want to get a perfect round in. This is just to give yourself pressure to make each putt. 3. Sometimes during my practice I will just start doing my putt routine like how I would putt during a tournament. (This helps you refine your routine so you aren't being surprised on the course. plus, it helps you learn to get rid of all the thoughts during your routine whenever you are in a tournament.) Not everyone has time for this though. At the end of the day you just want to putt a LOT and make practicing interesting.
In the spirit of the offhand elbow going back, I swing my offhand back as I throw and end with both arms spread 180, which has greatly improved the alignment of my putts. I hypothesize that it prevents/slows rotation by increasing the moment of inertia, like a spinning figure skater
When you breath in it oxygenates your blood improving circulation which makes muscles perform better. Breathing out relaxes the muscles making the movement more fluid. When done in rhythm it is both powerful and smooth. Similar to so many things that utilize focused breathing patterns
I injured my throwing hand pinky a few months back and would putt with 4 fingers (no pinky). It definitely feels weird, but I got used to it after a week of just not using my pinky for anything.
I have a long thin hallway at home that I put a practice basket at the end of and muffled it with some pole padding so fear has taught me to put straight, now when i'm on the course i gotta plant that fear in my putt for it to work the best 😅
My Putting tip is this, you know how there is part 1, 2, & 3 maybe 4 of driving well I do a putting checklist to help me do my putt. First the hands /grip, then the feet shoulder width apart for a putt like you are doing, and last the knowing your putt style and feet for the distance you are putting.
Honestly in the comments to see what tips there are because I love tweaking my game and I love this side of the DG community. Found some great ones and wanted to give my own tip for putting Relax your muscles. I often tense up my shoulders and back and it causes me to pull putts or jerk them too much. Relaxing my muscles helps me with my control and keeps my stroke smooth. Also keeps me calm and usually is associated with holding my breath in my stroke.
If I may add another tip: Leaning forward on my toes as much as possible during your follow through helps me a lot! It feels like I am dropping my putter in the basket. Give it a try!
One tip for actual rounds, not training so much: bounce your body up and down a bit with legs to feel the gravity. Now do with with your hand and disc. Whole point is to make sure you are releasing straight even if the basket is not straight or you are in a slight down or uphill. Kinda a "gravity check" to be actually straight
When I was initially taught I was told to treat your disc in hand like you had a painbrush full of paint and you were trying to flick paint onto the basket.
Re: Breathing. I don't know the science, but I think it's a combo of being relaxed AND steady. The U.S. Army didn't teach me to shoot my M16 this way for nothing I assume.
I found if I flip off the basket after The putter leaves my hand, I remember to follow through and not drop my hand immediately after I putt( which causes me to miss low a lot)

I did the same thing with a rope at home! Saves so much time and makes the basket more transportable with knowable distances

Thanks Dillon!
I can’t wait to start using these tips in my practice rounds
LOL @ Robbie C at the end.

Fire side putting is classy af. Great vid. Might try the heimburg chicken wing
I really really want tips on circle 2 putting.
Same! Lol
This is great, I’ll definitely have to try out a few of these tips!
I'm not sure how you would even test this but I find that putting twice from a spot and then moving before putting twice more in practice helps me in rounds way more than putting from the same spot over an over when I practice.
I just started watching you and subscribed. I like what I’m seeing thanks for the tips. Peace
Appreciate the support!

Obviously the exhale gives you that little bit of extra tail wind and helps push your disc forward

@@TrashPandaDiscGolf Thanks!
Aiming for a backside link is what’s helping me the most.
I don’t understand how that “putt with 3 fingers only” works but it’s working a lot in my living room 🤯
Bro it's been a hard day. But you really brought a viewer some real joy putting my beer comment in there 🥳🙀
😁
❤
I was actually about to tee off when your notification came up so as always I check it out. I just shaved 3 strokes off my game. Thanks bud!
No way! Which tip helped the most??
The elbow back and the exhale made my luna go straighter then ever before. I was actually shocked how much better it was.
Would you be willing to do a clinic on elevated basket putting? I struggle with those the most.

Had to leave it in there lol

I was hoping it would be a, "putt better with this tip... Get the new trashpanda putter". I'll keep hoping. Great video and solid call on the Dave's.
Part 4… 😏
@@TrashPandaDiscGolf oh yes!
Definitely trying the chicken wing elbow back approach!

First the hands /grip, then the feet shoulder width apart for a putt like you are doing, and last the knowing your putt style and feet for the distance you are putting.
Robbie C is the poster child for off-arm chicken (birdie) wing putting. He does seem to have a pretty consistent, smooth putting stroke.
Philo says to line your foot up with the outside of the basket putting your core on center.
Honestly in the comments to see what tips there are because I love tweaking my game and I love this side of the DG community. Found some great ones and wanted to give my own tip for putting
Relax your muscles.

You can always add another tip!! I'll try it out 🤘
Hold a second putter in your off-hand and turn your right shoulder towards the basket after you release.

Whole point is to make sure you are releasing straight even if the basket is not straight or you are in a slight down or uphill. Kinda a "gravity check" to be actually straight

You seem like a real good player Jesse! Out of curiosity, what’s your rating/pdga number or stats?
Thanks! I play very few rated rounds, but I'm currently in the lower 900's 🤘 (mostly because of my putting.. lol)
Re: Breathing. I don't know the science, but I think it's a combo of being relaxed AND steady.

Lol robbie got some moves
I have that same fire pit lol
Great minds!
I don't think it was your breath as much as it was lack of other instructions...so its still your natural putt but with some relaxing rhythm 😌 🎶
Robbie C dance… 😂😂😂
I found if I flip off the basket after The putter leaves my hand, I remember to follow through and not drop my hand immediately after I putt( which causes me to miss low a lot)
😂
My tip is, be happy put smile on your face and dont think too much about the putt just be relaxed and happy
SNAKE STRIKE! 🐍🥏
Here's a great tip
GET GUD
Those are the most hipster matches I've ever seen used to light a fire, hahaha :D
Dude, we get it, you can put well..
Also, Robbie C!
Maybe breathing while Putting helps your rhythm in the releases.
It almost seems like the breathing exercise helps with pacing, all of those putts had in-sync timing.
My buddy said the other day “I noticed I miss my putts when I don’t use my legs” - friggin lightbulb moment
Ah, the tall boy Dale’s. Too much offset. Haha
😂
Fast forward to the last 30 seconds
What are you putting with?
I putt with AGL Ponderosas! 🔥
Practice close putts with confidence. Once you make them all then move it back and don't change ANYTHING.
I come for the trash, but I stay for the panda?
Too bad I have to go to sleep and I can't watch this yet :(
See you tomorrow!
@@TrashPandaDiscGolf well now I have watched and will definitely be trying these out the next time I putt :)
Would be cool to see the actual stats from your putts rather than just getting your take on how it feels.
I like your hats. It's like a winter yarmulke. Zero functionality outside of covering your bald spot.
keep your chin up if you're missing low
I keep my off hand behind my back.
Idk why the breathing tip is so odd to people.
Put the pizza in the oven
Try shouting “GET SOME” upon release. Seriously.
