No need for that when I pick up and throw the same putter on every shot for 18 holes lol people are like do u need more disks ? Is all u got a putter ? How come u only throw a putter ? No yes it goes straight
@@WhiteWakedNProud I hope not, because it would mean that DD doesn't pay him anything. I think making these is part of his salary and in job description. If it is not, then they should pay him for doing these. If he did for free, he could have done it under his own name and not in DD's channel.
If I was him I would have kept these videos on my own channel unless they agreed to a flat rate per video. He was already doing well if they didn't offer more I'd be out.
Thanks Danny! It's nice to hear a knowledgable voice acknowledge that putters are the hardest disc to throw with power because of how touchy they are. Usually as we hear is "dont touch a driver until you can throw a putter 300 ft," a skill that isnt realistic or fun to develop for a casual am
would love to see a video of you in the store (when that's allowed) showing how to look for a disc that's a lil more domey or more flat etc. Love your videos
Danny, your advice has helped me so much. I would like to see a video on putting more spin into your drives. Pro's discs will stop and still be spinning in place. How can I get that kind of spin?
I loved tip #5! I never noticed the degree of miss anny vs hizer as being so different but looking back on past throws I realized I have just been enlightened on a truth I have somehow missed until now.
This video is my jam. Ive been playing about a year now. I only play heavily wooded courses. I only throw putters now. I can throw them almost as far as my drivers and midranges, with a lot more accuracy. I throw a straight glidey one for most shots, and a flat overstable one for hyzer shots, approaches, and forehands. I carry both in a premium plastic for throwing and a soft plastic for putt and approach.
I’m known as the guy who drives with my putter and another guy in my group is known for putting with his driver. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. This is going to help improve my game.
Hi Danny, Shoutout from Beaverton Or. I bought a Warden a while back and love it. One thing that helps throwing my putter for distance and putting. My son and play catch from about 60 feet. When we can hit each other in the stomach consistently we start backing up. It's amazing how consistent your long throws become.
Great video Danny. I have started throwing my putter(Marshal) farther and using only it during a recent round using these tips and have seen my distance with it increase. But the thing I seen I need to work on now is hitting my line with my putter on those farther throws. Seems like I always send it to the right of my intended line when I power it up
I like to use a full fan grip for driving putters, and also a grippier putter. I know, you might think less power with a fan grip, but it keeps me from turning the putter over, and the distance is still pretty good.
Sorry for the late response but it's a lucid-x Warden! A.J. Risley's signature one from earlier this year. Lucid-X Chameleon just dropped but we've got more coming later!
Throwing putters is where i started 7 years ago! I threw way nose up and once i finally got my throw straight and i still love throwing putters and freaking out my opponents :)
I missed it if some else already mentioned it. You started by saying throwing putters should be more stable (0:23), you follow by saying that you use the Wardens, which I see listed as the most understable putter. could you explain, thanks?
how about a beginner's guide on what to do with your eyes (where you're looking) before, during, and after each main type of shot (fh, bh, upshot, drive, putt...)?
I have found that my putters are much more reliable than anything else in my bag. My advice, go find a local course that is not super long I.E. the majority of the holes around 300 ft. and just play with putters and mid ranges. Leave the drivers and fairways at home. After a few rounds, at least in my experience, that a putter 9/10 times is the shot of choice. Eventually you will stop throwing the mid range and go to the putter because it is much easier to manipulate. Also, there is a big difference between a throwing putter and a putting putter. Keep them separate and only throw putters in the premium plastic.
A 3-finger power grip with the pinky hanging off is the only way I can throw a putter at full power. If I throw a "normal" drive with a putter using a fan grip it just doesn't work.
A lot of times if I'm throwing a putter it's because I need to hit a tight gap. I use a much shorter, slower run-up and keep my eyes on the line longer than for a "full" throw. Are there other mechanical changes to consider when throwing (a putter) to hit a tight gap?
So would a star rat be a good driving putter? I know this is a DD video, but was just curious. It’s a premium plastic and overs stable like he was suggesting. I’m just not very familiar with many DD outside of the Emac Truth.
I tend to short my reach back when throwing putters. IDK why, I just never reach back nearly as far. Something I really have to work on. I like throwing putters on annys more than mid ranges.
Danny did a video (a few actually) on this very topic but I don't think this channel allows for links in the comments. Search on youtube for "everything you need to know about nose-down."
I dont throw nose up!!! That's been confirmed by numerous other players... I was a stand still thrower most of my early days of playing!!! As soon as I started adding an x step I lost my timing and cant find it again
IIRC the more spin you put on your disc, the faster it will turn due to gyroscopic precession. This intensifies with the amount of lift the disc generates - meaning understable discs will turn faster since they are more aerodynamic and generate more lift. When going for distance, you want your ever so slightly understable disc to turn ever so slightly for most of the flight until the amount of lift decreases (due to decreasing disc speed) to a point where the fading takes over - Fading is gyroscopic precession applied to the underside of the front of the disc and makes the disc turn in the opposite direction of what we normally call "turn". At least that's my current understanding of how it all works but I could completely off course here :-) Cheers!
Hi Danny, you call this a beginner's guide, but throwing a putter off a tee is not a beginner's shot at all. It's a highly technical shot when needed by a very skilled player.
I love throwing putters. I can bomb with my MVP atom. +400' on a good rip. And no that wasn't a guess at my distance. If you think I'm way off you can take it up with bushnell
You have to have both. If you can only consistently shoot 250, you'll never be competitive. If you can throw far, but have no accuracy (consistency), you're doomed as well.
Also, usually with distance you will gain the consistency for the shorter throws. If you can reach 400 feet, it is much easier to power down and be consistent at 200 feet throws.
I'm a believer that better form gets better distance AND consistency. Getting more consistent with worst form isn't a thing. And time spent trying to get that consistency is likely better spent improving form and consistency will come as form improves. But that's me, there are plenty of people who will disagree with me.
@@DannyLindahl yeah, but the real issue is I don't think anyone has a 100 percent grip on the biomechanics. Bradley Walker advocates a purposeful knee drop with the rear side to add power. Richard Hatton says the knee drop isn't on purpose and is a result of the with shifting to the lead side. Who's right? There's no consensus and that's the problem. I do wonder Danny, from a standstill throw,I load into the rear side and then come into the lead side. In a standstill throw is there any kind of push off the rear leg , if so when?
I forgot it was disc golf where you could throw your putters, the old guys at the local course didnt seem to happy when i threw my putter, and then I realised, i was playing ball golf & putter is now gone....
How far do you throw your drivers or midranges? Can you describe why your putters fail to fly further than 200 feet (tunrover, stalling)? I myself can max out my putters at about 300 feet, and my drivers at about 400. Both with the power grip, but putters aimed a little higher. My advice would be practice, practice and practice - maybe doing some putter-only rounds, for example. And getting some provably far-flying putters (Proxy and Envy for me).
First rule of throwing putters on your drive is to loudly announce "I'm going to throw a putter" so everyone knows what a big deal you are.
@everythingballard
Brian Baxtrom Ive done that everytime😂🤣
Or just casually do it then they hit ya with the
“WAS THAT REALLY A PUTTER!?!”
Ha!

would love to see a video of you in the store (when that's allowed) showing how to look for a disc that's a lil more domey or more flat etc. Love your videos
the bead of the wing dictates stability a lot more than the dome of the disc. that usually dictates glide.
I feel flatter discs work better for sidearm shots.
Danny's videos are the best beginner videos out there. This one and others have helped me tremendously.

@@brendenkoontz4614 yeah I'd like to know what putters to use for distance, I use my aviar but I'm guessing there are better putters than that.
@@youtubeyt5694 One option: Star/Champion Aviar3 for straight 50-90 m and AviarX3 for hyzer or headwind.

Love the Opto-X Pure as a thrower. Straight as an arrow.
Love this. Been on the struggle bus with throwing putters
really great tips Danny, i’m sure i’ll come back to this video multiple times!!! i’d love to see a video on thumbers
Thanks! I talked a bit about thumbers in Physics of Flight 3.03 (I think) but my thumber game is...lacking to say the least.
Simply, thank you.
This was a huge help. As im trying out how to get maximum distance and control over my putter throws!
Danny, thanks for dropping some wisdom!
Good stuff, congrats on 50,000

I play DGV and saw your commercials in the Thursday Night Throwdown. Cool. You could come in there and play. If you already do that's great.

Great imfo Thanks Danny
Simple and brilliant.
Woah I need that lucid warden your holding bruh, send a link plz I want one
It's a Lucid Warden, and maybe a Lucid-X Warden. Look em up! Lucid-X is more stable to overstable version of Lucid plastic.

Is there a video on how to get more putting power? Have trouble making my normal putt reach the basket past 30ft or so
It's all in the weight shift from your back foot to your front foot.

I like to see him sponsor players .

I have the same problem but am new player
Drills for throwing smooth please
Slow is smooth, smooth is far. ;)
What about forehand shots with putters? Should I just use discs like harps and zones?
Good video
What do you mean by keep your hand on the outside for more spin?
Thank u
Shallow putters = best throwing puttters
How weight affects the disc numbers?
Lighter discs will have more glide and be more understable but harder to control. Heavier discs will have less glide and be more overstable.

@@dynamicdiscs thank you🤙🏼
I tend to short my reach back when throwing putters. IDK why, I just never reach back nearly as far. Something I really have to work on.
I like throwing putters on annys more than mid ranges.
Do you Danny, or DD ever offer skills clinics? Virtual or in person?
Yes on you tube also watch Page Pierce videos
I'd like to understand the numbers for a lefty
Wouldn't it help just not to bend down your wrist like with nose down for drivers?
I feel like I reach lower in my back swing with a putter because I want to release slightly nose up with a hyzer.
I think tip #6 should be go buy a Neutron or Plasma Envy from Axiom.
Which premium putter do you suggest?
I use a Lucid-X Warden but it's going to be super subjective.
I can throw putters just about as far as my drivers!!! I don't know what to do differently for my high speed discs to get good distance
You are throwing nose up, putters like it (sometimes), drivers don't. Danny has a few vids on throwing nose down, check those out.
Danny did a video (a few actually) on this very topic but I don't think this channel allows for links in the comments. Search on youtube for "everything you need to know about nose-down."
There's a beginner's guide on this channel about nose down from a week or so ago!
@@DannyLindahl I've seen all of your videos!!! I just don't practice enough honestly, I just cant get the things I've learned into my throws
I dont throw nose up!!! That's been confirmed by numerous other players... I was a stand still thrower most of my early days of playing!!! As soon as I started adding an x step I lost my timing and cant find it again
How about a beginners guide on anhyzer sidearm scramble or approach shots when your pinned against a thick tree.
When would you NOT want to put all the spin you can on your disc?
In most drives players will focus on forward momentum over spinning. It works for drivers but emphasis on spinning is best for putters.
@@DannyLindahl thanks Danny, that makes sense. I learned something new.
IIRC the more spin you put on your disc, the faster it will turn due to gyroscopic precession.

@dynamicdiscs keep up the lovely work! You and many other good youtubers from some high level to even some amateurs, it's all helped. Amazingly!!!
Are you a pro? Intermediate? I haven’t seen you on Jomez etc before. Wondering if your tips have helped you before.
Danny’s a great player but he doesn’t tour so you won’t see him on JOMEZ.
Disc Golf Bros I got some tips. Can I record some and send them to you guys? I am no pro but I think I am. I’m sure somebody will believe me.
Why wont dynamic discs make Danny pro? We have to support him? He has the tour? He’s so good!
That’s it! I’m starting a go fund me for Danny so he can tour and become a pro!
I don’t think he wants to. He has a good job working for DD.
As hard as I try I like throwing my putters but can never break 200 feet throws
