Yes I think the main benefit from this experiment is goin to be pace adjustment/touch. It could help you putt flatter but I didn't really explore that. Please let me know what you think after trying it, and if it does help you putt flatter, that would be an awesome added bonus!
Oh yes those I take every time lol. I forgot to add an asterisk saying those are good. The point i was trying to make was just for the drill of not worrying about the chains, and just focusing on arcing the putts in to the bottom of the cage. Thank you for the reminder to mention that!
Interesting... But I would use the bin and putt OVER the top, not into it.. In a live game your not putting into the basket, your putting into the chains. Putting into the basket would lead to low misses and short shots due to practicing a shot that would almost need to be stalling as it reaches the basket.. which is not optimum for so many putts... For instance, putting into the bin would require more of a lob... in some instances this would result in hitting the top rim on its way down if it was a bit long.. as opposed to just hitting the chains a little higher and harder on a more conventional shot. Landing the disc on the back of the bin would be fine.. landing it in it would be at the lower extreme of the shot as you only have about 6" between front and back lip at about 20ft Having said that, the narrow target will help you pinpoint your shots where a proper basket is a little vague. A plate sized plastic lid on a cross bar on the bin with a pendulum weight below it would give a good target set about 1ft above the bin... Another plus with the bin idea.. they're cheap... easy to throw your bag in for a counterweight, and fairly portable if you don't have a yard...
Yeah I don't have a perfect prescription, its not meant to be a perfect solution but just something different that can give a different perspective on putting, that could help especially if you need to practice getting some lob on your putt. Thank you for the feed back!
@@puttconfidently The thing is.. Anyone can get a plastic rubbish bin for about the price of s disc.. and you could probably use it for other things like... holding rubbish. I was thinking about portability... on a calm day, a camping chair would be a good choice.
@@TheButlerNZ oh yes a camp chair would would be a great idea. I agree this is not super portable. I didn't think that far ahead but I believe I was imagining this as at at home drill when I started filming.
@@puttconfidently I have both... The bin is 20ft from me now.. in my sitting room... catching cans and musli-bar boxes and the odd 2lt soda bottle. Disc Golf has done wonders for my bin throws... (Tip, 45deg hyzer for a musli bar box...) q8D
Interesting idea. I think the top of your trash can needs to be the same height as the basket rim so you're practicing the same clearance. Also, I don't think this would be very helpful for spin putting. Finally, definitely should get your straddle putt working well. It's helpful for putting on slopes and when your stagger stance is obstructed in some way.
Yes the same height as a disc golf basket cage would be ideal, I just didn't have that at my house but I'm sure that type of trash bin is available. I agree its not great for spin putting, but we don't push spin putting very hard on this channel.
Well if you ever need to get some touch on your putt, I believe this could help you, and if you're aiming for the back edge of the cage, you are putting "through the basket"
I like this! I’d imagine it helps with pace too, and getting the disc flatter? Gonna try it out today!

What is your take on the disc resting in the chains?
I bet you have taken that as being in the basket.

Yeah no, putting through the basket is the way to do it
