Putt BETTER in 5 steps (a real game changer for me!)

- In this video I´m trying to find my putting style. And I´m hoping it´ll help you find yours and/or get better at putting 😀.
How I went about it.
Starting out I went a round of 18 holes to see how many missed putts I had. In the meantime only recording those missed putts. That was not fun, haha. Then I tried a bunch of different putting techniques and practiced putting in my backyard til the point of feeling like I´m ready to try those missed putts once more. With the hope of improving my score. Find out how it went in the video if you´re interested. If not that´s cool. Have a nice day either way.
Hope you enjoy the video! ❤🤘

I just want so say one thing as a beginner. Jonathan's videos are the absolute main reason I bought some L64 discs. I am convinced his content makes higher sales to begginers more then any of the endorsed pros. He's so relatable to us with all the struggling, practicing, fails and wins its unbelievable and I'm sure I'm not alone with that opinion .Keep him close L64, because he's totally worth it!
Wow thank you so much for the kinda words. Really means a lot ❤ /Jonathan
I can just jump on that train! Fav discs are from Latitude and m bag is 90% L64. I mainly watch Jonathan for motivation and learn and add overthrow for technique Infos! Whats your fav forehand (forehand) driver Jonathan?
Haha. After watching a handful of these vids, I started looking for those black on black hats and the hoodies are pretty cool too. Planning on trying out all brands of discs though. Will definately be adding L64 discs. Love the content. If you can make me laugh, you get my subscription, likes and shares.
I must second this! When I started out I got almost only Innova disks. Now half my disks are Lattitude 64°. Just yesterday I bought a “starter set” for my son with Saint, Fuse and Keystone… Yeah, I see now it says “Advanced” all over the box. I guess he’ll just have to put his big boy pants on! 😅
Facts. My next order has some latitude disc in it just because of his content
Practice making putts, don't practice missing. Find a distance where you never miss and just putt alot from that distance, it sounds weird but it works.
Someone else probably said this, but it's the best tip I've ever come across.
This makes a lot of sense to me. Thank you :)
I love it. Someone named Paul? This was entertaining. The hardest to imitate disc golfer becomes the one that gives you the greatest success.
As a small thing I do but helps me so much is try and focus on a point mine it the pole in the chains or a specific link in the chains
That putt with missing footage, and the improvement putt!
quick tip i got from a friend on spinputs: tuck the disc in towards your forearm so the disc touches the arm, try to throw it flat and BOOM. now i can put comfortably within atleast 7-10 meters.
within choosing the disc is choosing the plastic. I love jawbreaker plastic for the grip. I don't like some premium plastics because they feel slippery, even though they last longer.
Yeah I hear that also. Gonna to into plastics in the future. Have a lot to learn there it feels like. I think I would agree with you there. Slippery doesn't feel ideal for putting
Finally, someone else putting with Mercys, I'm not the only one! They are great
Yea i started with a hyzer putt then i met the WIND. So now I have like spin push putt with fan grip. I am still trying to get the right putt. Thanks for the video
Thank you. Played a round today and my putting was not up to par. Even said need to work on my putting. Clutch.
Bro honest, your putt on 10:35 was smooth and powerful
Soooo I became a fan of this channel because of my love for classic Swedish punk bands like Anticimex, Totalitär, Mob 47, and my love for classic Swedish death metal like Dismember, Entombed, Grave. I would like if you could get one of those guys could find out if they enjoy disk golf and get there opinions on form, technique, and if they play on the road.
I mean if I can get a round in with Meshughah that'd be great 😀.
That would be awesome! Also I love the little music in between the “scenes” especially the metal ones but I do love the electronic ones also. And I also like watching the evolution of your love for disc golf ⛳️ cheers! Progress 🌈! 🤙🏾
Great job on the putting practice! And a quality video like always 👌🏻 The thing that helped my putting style the most in recent years was a tip from an old Eagle McMahon putting video where he suggests to grab a stack of discs and start putting from the distance you make all the putts. For me that was 3-4 meters. Then with the stack of discs just putt away at a relatively fast pace. For me it was a putt every 5 seconds. Just focus on making the putt and with every putt start to make slight adjustments to the swing so that the disc doesn't flutter so much, releases every time at the same angle etc. Even though it's not the focused golf putt it helps with finding the right rythm of the down and up swing along with a clean release. You'll quickly notice if your grip doesn't allow for a quick grab-and-go type of putt. I hope this helps someone!
”when I do everything high….” 😂😂🌿
Amazing video Jonathan, your putting stroke looks great! Putting is all about doing what works for you, and you discovered that with SCIENCE.
The Winsor knot at 8m26s is on point THEREFORE you are a man to be trusted and I will sub and but more Lat 64 plastic. River for the win. Cheers
Haha good eye, sir! And welcome. Let me know if there´s a video you´d like to see on the channel =) /Jonathan
Kick ass putting and music Jonathan! 🥏🧺🤘
You are my spirit child. This was great.
Some truly great pointers here. Such fun to watch your process as always. Love how you went through a lot of pointers, tried them and four YOUR preferred style. Will be doing the same to find MY preferred style :D
Yes, I'm subscribed!
Thats great, Kevin. Thank you!
This is the best video ive seen in a while
I have a similar putting grip, and the one tip that helped me the most with a clean release is to open my hand like I going to shake hands with someone. Fingers somewhat together, and thumb sticking straight up.
Love your videos! Helpful and humorous. My sister and I are newbs. We need all the help we can get!
Thank you ❤️
Hey there! I think you do a good job with your videos and I think you should try commentating on some of the disc golf tournaments or clips or something like that. Even with Johannes or whoever would be fun. Best of luck!
Jonathan,thank you!
You are fun to watch and an extremely big help to beginner/intermediates. 👍
Im glad =) /Jonathan
Never played but I've got my introductory round scheduled next week! I'm fired up watching your videos but especially from the outro music 🤘
let me know how i went =) /jonathan
I'm hooked. Played Morley field in San Diego. Bogey golf except a 3 pars, two doubles and a triple. Definitely going to buy a bag and fill it ASAP. I can say, without a doubt, your content helped my first round be more enjoyable. Thank you!
1 thing i knows that helps is having confidence in your putt and know the difference between a good run and miss/spit out and a bad putt.
Always enjoy your videos, glad to have you back!
First channel I came to for putting help, and my name is kevin, I've subscribed
That was great! During the recreation at the end of the video, it was very nice to see your confidence go up after you made one or two putts. That confidence is so key to making putts. Keep up the awesome work!
Yeah it feels like it has a big part of it for sure :)
Good stuff here, and hilarious too!
My putting style that I use and very consistent with is, I hold the Disc with a Forehand Grip but then I flip my hand so the Disc is Upside down in front of me with that same Grip then I just push forward with the same putting motion. Its weird but I enjoy it and I really like that I can flick my wrist just like a Forehand to add more power if I choose
Looking good. Seems like you are putting the disc instead of trying to lay the disc in the basket. Keep up the great work.
You found your groove amigo! Now you just have to keep at it and maybe come up with an internal comment that will reenforce past success. Example: walk up to 25 footer, I say to myself. I've hit this before and will right now. Positive reinforcement right before you start your routine.
Great video everyone! Thank you
I thought i was tired of dg and dg content, turns out i just missed Jonathan
Jonathan! Love watching your disc golf journey!
Bro! Huge improvements! Fantastic info too. I did something similar 2 weeks ago and shot my best round ever in a tournament.
Eagles vlog helped a lot but I wish I would have seen yours first. You put together all the info I looked for independently.
I’m really happy with my stroke/stance/weight transfer. Still working on commuting my wrist to the putt and not letting it fall out of my hand.
Biggest lesson learned is fully thinking through and being aware of the entire putt. Slowing everything down, being aware of timing of weight shift, arm and wrist.
Cheers my friend!
From one Jonathan to another; these videos are wonderful! I have started practice putting with the dynamic disc marksman & keeping track of my make/miss percentages since Jan 1. I am at 54% overall in practice (not awesome, but plenty of room for growth) and have noticed a significant jump in conference when out playing a round. The baskets on the course are way less scary! Keep being amazing, sir, looking forward to your next upload!!
Thanks for the awesome content. Looking forward to watching you grow more throughout 2022! 😀
Oh welcome back!!!!
He's back!
Great video as always my friend ❤️
You're a beautiful being! ❤
So good content. Love the sense of humor and production is stellar. I really enjoy watching your journey and you're helping me along the way. Learned a lot from this. Looking forward to more :)
Thank you so much, Magnus! ❤🤘
I find that when I can hesitate just a quarter second or so before I extend my arm and disc to the target helps me get the disc on the intended line. McBeth and Dickerson do this. I have a theory why this helps. My brain needs to know where the line begins so I can follow it to the end. Combine that with balance and a snap follow thru that sucker will go in.
Superb content again! I'm also struggling with putting as many fancy things tries to make throwing more complicated as it actually is ... for me helped: keep it simple and try to try less.
You really are a beautiful being!
Stop it you ☺
Awsome as allways, and the end-riff 🔥
Du ä fan bästa läraren👍👍🙏🏻❤️
Tack så mycket, Björn! ❤🤘
My name is Kevin and I subscribed.
As you practice more, your subconscious learns to execute it without you having to think.
I love your videos and btw nice house.
"the next day", suuuuuuuuure hahaha
I have subscribed (a long time ago)!
Thank you in advance for your really great videos. I love those!
What kind of band will be played at the end. It's Alpha Wolf?
Now i have ;)
This video was a real game-changer for me!
I like the new music
Me too :). Me too
welcome back
Thank you 😀
Wow I didn't realize how much I missed these vids! Also just curious how many subs you have, is there a reason that is set to private?
Hey :). There is a reason actually. I find that content get unfairly judged by the number of subscribers (both big and smaller channels). As youtube is set up now its the content itself that primarily get views and not the subscription count. So I wanted the individual videos speak for themselves. Hopefully that makes sense :)
@@Latitude64 Yeah that totally makes sense. The thing I like about seeing sub count is that you can watch a channel's growth, but if you think it helps your vids then I can totally see it. Keep up the amazing vids! :)
Yes, Jonathan, I am a subscriber. Don't call me out like that. 😂
There you are, Kevin! 😂
I've been looking to do something like this for some time. Unfortunately the cost of a basket is a game breaker.
stop thinking when putting, just do it. thats worked for me. let the muscle memory just do it.
My C1 putting is decent but my C2 is demoralizing at best. Would like to see how you get power plus accuracy on longer putts.
One thing that might help is to pay attention which way you're pushing off your back leg - is it up or forward. For more power and accuracy try pushing more forward.
Someone needs to get Kevin Jones subscribed to this channel!
😂👍
5:02 he got me...
I found the like button, but where's the love button? Did youtube remove that too?
❤😀
Woohoo last!
Övning ger färdighet 😂
Has Kevin subscribed yet?? We need to know
I think he's playing hard to get.
10:57 for precious noises
Little off topic, but what's the song that starts at 9:40? lol
I've forgotten the name it now. But it's not like a "real" song. Its from a music service thing. Its called like "funk beat" or something. Still good tho :)
@@Latitude64 oh yeah, that makes sense. It's a vibe for sure :D
I’m not gonna lie. I’ve loved watching you journey and seeing your form improve! It’s really motivating and you putt release looks so clean after all the practice. Your “timing” is also way way more consistently smooth and looks the same in all the clips be really jerky before hand.
Thanks a lot! :)
I’ll try not to overstate this…. You have the best dg content on TH-cam. Thank you for really “putting” 😉 yourself out there. Keep up the great work!
I highly suggest you find a local putting league (or start one yourself). It’s a ton of fun and a huge confidence builder for putting under pressure. Cheers!
what he said
Liked this comment for the pun 👍
100 Percent. I'm new and trying to learn and your videos have been the most helpful to me. Thank you!
The dude really put on a full suit and tie looking all dapper just for a 2 sec clip.
That is correct :). Had slippers on tho. Didn't show. Mighty fine combo 😂
Just throwing this out there... don't waste your money on a practice aid that you won't have on the course when you play. Instead of aiming at a chain link... imagine your putter sawing the pole in half in the middle of the chains. Your putt with "get there" and be on target, too. Old school tipping from a 60+ guy.
2022 is going to be such a great year for disc golf! Cant wait to see more content come out from Latitude 64.
Jonathan is the best!
Cheers, Andrew :)
Holy crap you are so right. I cannot wait!
The amount of strokes saved is great in it self, but the actual close misses is the best improvement I'd say. All the old misses resulted in a not at all easier comeback putt where'as your new photage shows an easy comeback putt in most cases. Saves even further strokes being able to miss "safe" and thereby trying even longer putts with more confidence!
I have tried some different putters and I think the DD Deputy feels really good in the release, not had the time to practice with it though.
I have 5 Judges in Classic Blend and absolutely love them.
Couldn't have said it any better. That was the first thing I noticed is how much better the missed putts were vs the first time.
I think you have to realize... His instruction is funny and helpful but none of the pros miss "safe".
Worth a birdie chance and Sunday risky par, just to guarantee a par
Eh, yes they do, not intententionaly as a safe miss ofc. But they putt different on different baskets, and many use different techniques at different distances and situations to not go to long no matter what gets in the way. And by this they only have to worry of a rollaway when hitting the basket missing low or high. Using a more push putt over a spin is one way eg.
Not all pros are fearless ;)
My friends showed me a great putting practice drill that sort of automatically finds the putting range at which you start to get inconsistent, which for me is one of the biggest things to work on in my own putting. The drill works like this:
Get a random disc and put it on the ground 10 feet from the basket. Putt 2 putters in succession at the basket. If you make both putts, flip the ground disc backwards to extend the distance slightly. If you make one putt and miss one, leave the ground disc where it is. If you miss both putts, flip the disc forward, decreasing the distance slightly. Use 4-8 putters so you don't have to run to the basket every round. After a few rounds, you'll arrive at an area where you might make both, you might only make one, or you might miss both.
It'll show you the range you need to work on (spoiler alert: it's a much smaller distance than you probably think it is! My challenge range ends up about 18-20 feet...). And the more you work on it, the larger that distance should get. Soon those 18 footers that you use to step up and think "uh oh, I have to make this one, but I could totally miss it..." become automatic for you. And plenty chance to develop shot style, grip, routine, etc.!
I’m going to use this drill today! Thanks :)
This sounds fantastic! Going to definitely try this! Thanks!
@@sticky3507 let me know how it went for you!
@@livinlifeoverfifty lemme know how the results go :-)
Thanks for this! Just picked up a pack of putters going to use this method.
As always, the best Disc Golf content on TH-cam. It's not a pro player showing off pro player things it's a player starting from the beginning, showing the full beginner process. We all start somewhere and it's nice to see that not hidden!
these videos constantly have the highest production quality in all of disc golf- love it!
Even your misses were closer, Jonathan! One thing I like to do before I putt is tell myself "Stance, Grip, Line, Rip" and those things help me dial in my positioning before I putt. I get in the correct stance. Once settled, I make sure I'm holding the disc exactly the way I need to, then I build a line from my body where the disc will go back to, to where it needs to go. Then I let it rip along that line.
Just one final tip that I have found to never fail! Smile. Smile prior to putting, it puts you into a better mindset make or miss.
Hey, it's great to see you in action! love the content and I'm looking forward to see more!
My own putting looks actually pretty similar to what Calvin seems to be doing and in case it will be of any help to you I'd like to share my thoughts about it. I tried to come up with the simplest way of explaining it and the most effective thing would be to just take your putter and the grip you found. It looks just about perfect for this. (have mercy and get a grip Jonathan) and just start gently popping and hopping it upwards with the fingers under the disc. (in a way it wont leave your hand ) When you find that nice spring-like fluid tempo you can try uncurling your wrist while doing it and the disc should move from next to your hand to in front of it. That's the release point when you are actually putting like this. Now you just add that to your normal arm motion and the disc should have a nice clean straight up and forward flight.
This is how I found my own putt, Instead of building from stance to release. I tried what I can do with literally just my fingers, then what happens when I add the wrist movement, what does the elbow movement has to add (I can pretty much putt from 5 meters by just using fingers, wrist and the elbow) and (finally for me lol) if the movement starts from my shoulders. At this point I started feeling it's pretty much all I need and ended up what I would like to call a "minimalistic" stance. Adding any more to it just doesn't do anything for me but add more variables that can result in a miss.(maybe just little more hip and leg action if it's a long putt)
And finally some overall tips I'd like to give is to just be relaxed. Like seriously, try putting in slow motion. You'd be surprised how slow you can move and still have a decent putt. This way you also have time to really observe yourself and take notes of for example the angle of your disc and where you release it. Which leads to the next tip which is just to experiment with the angles when you putt (flat, hyzer, anhyzer, nose down, nose up) and another angle to watch is your shoulders, avoid slouching. (not that you'd be doing so Jonathan) I have that tendency and it helps greatly to put my otherwise useless arm behind my back while putting.. the other useless thing that came to my mind is that I sometimes feel that my pinky is in the way and scrapes the rim on release so sometimes I just lift it up or hold it behind the ring finger if it's a problem. One important thing for me is also the plastic and firmness of the disc, I prefer a more softer, bendy, eraser like surface which I think kind of softens the springy release to make it more smoother in flight versus a very hard stiff kind of plastic. so that's another thing to experiment with that as well (I putt with westside discs soft Bt Shields but I have a Pure and the zero medium plastic kinda works too, sadly I don't have a soft one to compare)
Phew. a long one.. this is why I don't write much comments. But I hope it's clear and offers some help or insight to anyone reading :)
This is awesome. I have always taught people looking to improve putting that the first step is to find your "true natural" putt; the one that you can re-create without thought. Once you find that, pointing it in different directions is trivial. And the first half of the video shows you doing that. The other thing you need is data and feedback, and I see you doing that too. One suggestion. When thinking about how to practice, the very best distance to focus on is your 50% make range. For that, I putt in pairs, and if I make both I step back a pace for the next, and if I miss both I step in. Make/miss stays right there. This puts you right at your 50% range and then I work on extending my 50% range. How far back can you push it? Also, don't forget to work on longer putts. Those 40+ footers take more power and are different, so make sure to include some distance putting in the mix. Finally, practice hyzer/anhyzer and straddle putts. Not only do you need those specific putts sometimes, but they'll make your default putt better too. Cheers, and GREAT VIDEO!!
You look like you are shooting AT the basket now, while some of your first putts look like you were just trying to hyzer/float them in. I still have a lot to learn but shooting AT the basket has really helped. Keep it up and thanks for taking us along.
Find videos of Paul McBeth, Ricky Wysocki, and Eagle McMahon talking about putting and try to copy something they do. Other pros too. I've copied Dickerson and Paul Ulibarri. Eventually some of it sticks and becomes part of how you putt.
Thanks for inviting us on your journey! Your “approach” is entertaining and educational. Fun game and Fun instruction!
Take a moment to feel what is happening with your feet. You should feel your weight shift directed at the basket. It is surprising how many people don't. An example would be, if you point your foot toward the basket then you should putt from all your toes not from one side or the other.
I could tell the biggest thing from the old putts is the new putts you're really following through and committing to the line. Looks so much better!
Absolutely love all of these videos! Thanks for all the knowledge and humor!
Thank you so much! :)
Im new into discgolf and dont have power in my putts until i saw a video of Calvin His tips changed my putting. Heres the video (181) Calvin Heimburg 60 Second Blitz - TH-cam Look at the time stamp 12:24.
I LOVE the Mercy! But I'm having to move on from it because I can't find them in Zero Soft and Gold or Lucid. Like, I've never seen one in Premium. Please, use your mighty influence to get me a run of Gold Line Mercys! In Blue, if I can be greedy!
Why does this not have millions of views. I have searched for this lost ark video, and I have finally found it! if your passionate about disc golf, and want to get better! Learn about discs and flight patterns then immediately watch this video!!! Then Practice A metric ton!!!
What was first? The chicken or the egg? The egg ofcourse, because dinosaurs lived before the chicken...... love your videos!
for long puts you should imagine a ring in between you and the goal slightly above the goal and to the right and if you get through the ring it should land in the basket etc..video came from tips from Paul Mcbeth on putting!
Kevin Jones needs to like and subscribe. The Paul leg thing is from watching Ken Climo's form. He always did that
Moving finger from rim to similar position like you ended chanded my putting game. Also tens of thousands puts in a year have helped :) still my putting is from where I´d like it to be. yeah, i go to putt some
Don't forget your none putting arm. It's position can really effect your shoulders. I have found that putting the back of that hand lightly against the backside of that thigh to really help open the shoulders and helps with longer putts. Try out a bunch of positions there, holding a phone is not the right one; I can guarantee that (:
