I met this guy in a field in my hometown. He was throwing into a net just focusing on something specific. I was launching discs just trying to remedy the problem that my drivers and mid's were flying practically the same distance. He asked if I wanted to be filmed in slo-mo. I said, "sure", thinking, not sure how that's going to help much, seeing how I have no real clue of how to throw. He shared a few things with me from the video, and I started beating all my PR's at the courses. I still have a lot to learn for sure, but this dude knows what he's talking about. I guarantee it.
Great idea about the rope. I actually took some paracord and tied knots at it for 10-15-20-25-30-35-40-45 feet. Hadn't thought of using it for alignment too. Thanks for the additional tip.
Go easy on me y'all. I had to learn 4 different types of putts for this video and probably ruined my own muscle memory for the next week. Or destroy me in the comment section. I'm cool with that too.
Wow, I’m blessed to have found your page. You are hands down one of the best disc golf teachers I’ve ever come across. I’ve learned so much from all 5 of your vids on UA-cam. I’m excited to see where this channel goes. Keep being yourself man. The sky isn’t even the limit for you. God bless🙏🏽🙌🏽
@@OverthrowDiscGolf Look at this bro you got all these newbies thinking you actually know what youre talking about poser clearly all you do in your videos is repeat recycled lines and advice from pros videos then try to pass off as your own knowledge
@@OverthrowDiscGolf oh man I know I can take something away from that! Been having a lot of issues with getting the right finesse on my putters and mids, a lot of cringy wobble.
Great insight, great tips. The rope suggestion at the end would have saved me a ton of time haha. I was struggling with my putts for 2 months until I stopped focusing so much on the basket and really focused on my line-of-play to the pole. Getting my weight shift and arm on that line-of-play to the basket has improved my putting by A LOT. "Pizza in the oven!" for that flat release.
Hey, I just stumbled onto these videos a couple days ago and I have to say, good job. I know that there is a burgeoning market for these types of info vids, but I really appreciate the levity that you guys bring to it. Good video editing, good speaking voice, and the information seems to be well researched. Keep having fun with it.
Thank you so much. I know Mikey appreciates when people notice good editing and I most certainly appreciate you noticing the research haha. It's a lot! Thanks again Josh
@@OverthrowDiscGolf I appreciate your content. I know I'm the only one commenting right now, but you two have potential if you keep it moving. PS. Where are you guys located? I'm over here in the midwest so we have significantly more snow. I'm effing starved to play again. My wife is very angry about the amount of discs I've accumulated over the past year of lock down.
@@OverthrowDiscGolf I really appreciate the thought and that will be brought up in conversation. Currently covid restrictions allow us to be in certain gymnasiums for time slots. Basically just getting in to do putting practice with a few people a week.
I've got more into disc golf this year and your instructional videos have been soooo helpful with my drives. Now I'm looking forward to testing out some of these putting techniques. Also, I loved your "10-step" demonstration of what not to do.
From the future. This is a shout out to Robbie C and a put he pulled off in the content creators competition round a couple years back I think. Danny Lindahl was there, was the last time I saw him. OT was there, Mikey participated, Boggie Bros were there, some hot girl and Robbie C. I remember being kind of an anti-fan to one of the bogey bros at that time. It was because on a round with Paul Mcbeth, he looked like he went a little Niko Locastro because of his bad round wasn't to his expectations vs a legend. Anyway, that bogey bro had the camera on him as a reaction shot after Robbie C started doing his dancing thing. Instead of mocking him, that Bogey bro complimented Robbie on doing what it takes to get out of your own head. Instant 180, I was wrong about that bogey bro. Loved him for that instantly. I was on the fence about Robbie as well to be honest back then. But there was a moment where he was totally summoning something while he was lining up a putt. Drained it and I heard that bogey bro in the background congratulate Robbie on that putt. I think his perspective was a reflection of my own. That's always going to be the first thing I think of about Robbie C. It wasn't the ace that Conrad pulled off to beat Mcbeth but it was a great disc golf moment. A clutch putt like that. I could live on that for a long time. Nice one Robbie
Man this is great content. I've watched a ton of disc golf instructional videos and the ones I've seen from you are crisp, easy to understand, and most of all provide good advice.
I've been playing since I was 19 in 1998 and I will never stop trying to improve learn and get better. I've gotten significantly better in just the last 2 years but still have lots of room for improvement. Keep up the great videos!
The push putt is not called that due to pushing up on the flight plate. Or at least I've definitely never heard that. If you're using your opposing thumb and middle finger to exert most of the force on the disc, then you are pulling the disc from the front in a snappy motion. That's not a push putt. A true push putt comes off with generally low spin and it feels like you're giving it a little spanking with your palm on the way out. You open your hand to the line and give it a little push from behind. It's true you can elastically load your wrist and get a little free pop, which helps add some spin and distance. But if you do anything more than elastically load it (i.e. you deliberately snap it) you're starting to leave the land of "push putting" proper. Maybe you think I'm too much of a stickler about this, but IMHO almost no one actually push putts (a la Feldberg) even if they think they do. It takes some effort to retrain yourself to putt without snapping your wrist because it's so automatic.
Amazingly informative delivery. Also glad you didn't say that any type of putt is favorable more so than another. Great camera and microphone quality. Everything I want in disc golf content. Insta subbed
Thanks for the video Josh, one of my top 3 beginner videos! I summed up my top 15 beginner videos here: ua-cam.com/video/UAtZzTMkmPw/v-deo.html maybe I can return the favor :D
This is definitely the BEST video I have seen on putting.- really great explanation and easy to follow.- Great breakdown.- You got a subscribe out of me just for this video alone.- Question (if you do read this).- where would Ricky Wysocki fall?.- I imagine he is strictly a push putter.- Anyway, great work...
Ricky is a push putter. He loads the wrist to get a little spin action but it’s still a push putt. He talks about it here: ua-cam.com/video/3JI0E5SBB5U/v-deo.html
Beginner here. To be honest, this video went so fast that the practice suggestions at the end felt like the only intelligible tip. (I'm not super immersed in this sport and practice a lot of other physical activities too.) However, that tip ended up coming at a super helpful time of the year because I can just walk a line in the snow with my boots. It's already been helpful and I only practiced it once.
Can you clarify the beginning step where you hold the disc vertically and aim. It looks similar to Calvin but not quite as extreme. I have been curious what Calvin is aligning or looking thru with the exaggerated disc position.
Crazy that I had a rope tied to my basket for distance reference but never applied it to my technique. Since watching this a week ago I have improved my putting. So simple, thanks!
Quick question: Do you think the size/type of the basket and the number of chains matters much when practicing? I'm looking to get a practice basket for field work and backyard use. I will need to drive to a field so something portable would be great but I can also throw a full size basket in the back of my SUV. Some baskets are PDGA approved with 24 chains, other baskets appear smaller than the PDGA with less chains (usually 12 chains). Since our local courses use PDGA approved with 24 chains, I am curious to know, from a muscle memory standpoint, if I practice with a smaller basket with less chains if it will affect my putting using course baskets. I hope my questions makes sense. Great videos, guys! I hope you continue making them.
I don’t think it matters all that much. It’s more important to understand how basket differences will affect your putt IMO since courses have different baskets. Learn how to aim on yours and know where to aim on others.
This was an extremely useful video. All the putting styles were very well explained. I liked that you gave examples of the pros that use each style. The rope aide or suggestion at the end was fantastic! I've always considered myself a decent putter (ie. I have a pretty high percentage inside the circle); however, something has been off the last few weeks in my tournaments. I decided to re-commit myself to my putting. After putting a rope down as you suggested and keeping my disc along the rope, I had instant success. I got instant feedback. My issue was that I was coming slightly off line. With the use of the rope, it allowed me to know without a doubt I was lined up properly and that I was pulling my disc back and releasing on the correct line. In no time at all my putting was fixed and I was hitting center pole consistently. Using the rope is such a simple thought, but one I never thought of. Thank you so much. Without a doubt, you fixed my putting. And you've given me a tool I can go back to time and time again if my putting falls off the rails again. My putting confidence is back. Thank you so much!
Links to pros form, super valuable. I wish people would just straight up say it, spush > all. Spin helps with wind/distance. Push eliminates extra rotation to avoid left/right misses. I like the rope trick, much better than the sticks I used to line up. Drawing that straight line is definitely key, finding the right stance where you can comfortably impart spin while transferring energy from your back foot>hips>arm>wrist with minimal side to side.
I have a feeling in a few years we will have more great spush putters than spin and push putters but it’s hard to say they are hands down better when you’ve got Ricky in the picture.
@@OverthrowDiscGolf Definitely. Especially with more thorough form videos like you are doing. An early bad (or just suboptimal) habit can be impossible to fix. The one thing sports science has taught me is there IS a best way, but that doesn't mean you cannot be the best doing it your own way. I'd be curious to see data on pros misses. Wind condition, high, low, left, right based on style.
We probably won’t but Calvin is a push putter. The difference is that instead of loading his weight onto his back foot he keeps it over his straight front leg. Very interesting.
This video caused me to spill soup all over my key board cause I was eating and emulating his putt and I punched my bowl of soup onto my computer. Still worth tho great vid man
Just incorporated some new "flamingo" training...I'm still trying to feel balanced after my putt.....so I decided to throw some putts while standing on 1 leg.....it helps me because it forces me to balance out my forward momentum to stay standing just like the karate kid !.......it also helps me because I can see how much power and distance I can achieve with just my arm motion & better timing....great video BTW!
I call the push putt "granny style" (because of the similarity to underhand free throw shooting in basketball). It's similar in the way it looks unorthodox but actually very accurate!
Thanks, spush vid helped me out. Broke my last year record by one stroke. Played -11 round at my local course. I'm now more accurate and confident in my putts. Had long putts as well, felt good :]
This is good stuff. Take his advice and check out the section you need to work on. There is SO much here, you could easily watch everything and retain nothing. Since I 'Splush' with more spin I will rewatch 'S-Type Spin putters'.
Great video! Prob the thing that has hindered my disc game the most is never developing a style to perfect. Found it interesting that you land on your back foot first while jump putting. Maybe just something I’ve overlooked more players doing
you are the king of teaching. I was a total beginner this summer thanks to your videos i learned to throw backhand (400 feet ) learned to putt, Put the disc on different angles. Next summer i need to work on my forhand and aiming . Keep up the good work. Love your chanel
This is by far the best video/tutorial i have watched about putting. very detailed and simply explained! I gotta thank you guys for doing this. This is very helpful!
Just got my own basket today, still trying to find my Style, but this video really helped me understand what I was doing wrong with some of my for each.
Very insightful and clear summary of putting styles. I'd be interested in your take on how these putting mechanics influence your targeting strategy. I note that many pros throw a soft hyzer to the basket. A controlled curve seems more reliable to throw than a dead straight shot that can drift left or right...
Absolutely the best putting video out there! Great job...love how you got into details yet made it simple and applicable for many levels of players. Looking forward to your next putting video
@@OverthrowDiscGolf Tips on determining the best putting motion for your body style. What are the things we should be "feeling" or looking for when we are trying putting techniques? What are "swing thoughts" that the pros have when they are putting?
I would go to the rope drill I mentioned at the end of the video and just find the most comfortable way for you to keep the disc over that line. Don’t analyze. don’t think about what style you want to be. Just focus on what is natural and comfortable for you to keep the disc over the line. Then do it. Later once you have the muscle memory you can come back and find what style it falls in to.
What would you consider Calvin heimburgs style? That’s probably the closest to mine. I’ve always considered it a push put but I definitely spin it as well
loved the video, this helped me out a lot. I have one question though, you do this in your routine, as well as a lot of pros do. You hold the disc vertically in front of your face before you go into your throw. I was wondering what purpose this serves or if it is more of a comfort thing like basketball players do when they bounce the ball a certain number of times before a free throw.
Not entirely sure, but my guess is that it allows them to set their grip as they hold their disc with their offhand. It also allows the lead arm to be loose since the offhand is carrying the weight of the disc
Until watching your video I never knew I was a S-Class Splush putter. With that in mind, it makes me question whether I am squaring up my hips and shoulders correctly.
The best thing I ever did was buy a basket put a 12' wide net behind it to keep fly aways close. Then I took peices of plastic and staked them in the ground every ten feet all the way to 100' for markers. Then I ordered 10 putters identical to my everyday one. Then practiced for 1 hour most evenings. Then when I was sinking about 5 of 10 at 50ft I started just practicing about 20 minutes. My putting got soooooo much better. Good luck to everyone in their journey.
Solid tip video. Maybe do a follow up/part 2 that covers things like footwork, rear leg follow through, front toe, etc. When I moved to spush putting I couldn't figure out why I'd consistently miss my mark right until someone suggested pointing my front foot slightly to the left (RHBH) rather than straight at the basket.
Good overview. I'm definitely a spush putter. I think I naturally try to minimize my spin to reduce how far the disc can miss, but as I get more confident, I'll probably introduce more spin for consistency.
Wow! Every video I learn things that helped my game. You break things down so well and make it easy to understand. Can definitely see my game improving. Thank you!
I'd like to see a pt. 2, like more about what's effective in different putting scenarios, because most of the time I'm not trying to throw a straight putt into the basket. It's more like, uphill or downhill with some wind, and I'm not sure if I should try to lazer it into the chains or try to just lob it in the basket. I suppose a lot of that just comes from experience, but I can always use tips.
Great video. Can you (or did you in another video) explain nose angle for putting? Like when to use nose up, nose down, flat, and how different wind would affect each nose angle?
Extra pro tip. Make that rope 32 ft or 10m long and mark either each foot or meter. Now you have a way to reliably track your circle 1 percentages from each distance. I use Putt Meister app to track mine but there are other good ones out there.
Man your videos are brilliant!! Im pretty sure ive watch every single discgolf tutorial videos on youtube and yours are among the very best 👍🏻 I usually accord a lot more credit to pros when it comes down to coaching but the more videos i watch the more i realise that most of the time they are a lot more gifted in throwing the damn disc than they are to communicate how they do it... you put the science into words just the perfect way, so keep up the good work its well appreciated!!👍🏻😎👍🏻
Great tutorial, thank for breaking things down so well with just the right amount of info and footage! Great breakdowns of what the pros do as well, helps me understand what’s goin on there. Stuff I haven’t heard elsewhere. I will inhale on load and exhale on extension, great tip. Plus the rope 😁
If you watch on a computer I think there is a CC button that allows for subtitles in another language. If that doesn’t work I can send you my manuscript for this particular video if you’d like and then take your chances with google translate
Genius idea with the rope. Also to add, in observing the pros putt, their release point is hip to waist high with the nose angle slightly up. I noticed casual players like myself tend to release higher and the disc tends to sail or lose energy to drop before reaching chains
I met this guy in a field in my hometown. He was throwing into a net just focusing on something specific. I was launching discs just trying to remedy the problem that my drivers and mid's were flying practically the same distance. He asked if I wanted to be filmed in slo-mo.

Just incorporated some new "flamingo" training...I'm still trying to feel balanced after my putt.....so I decided to throw some putts while standing on 1 leg.....it helps me because it forces me to balance out my forward momentum to stay standing just like the karate kid !.......it also helps me because I can see how much power and distance I can achieve with just my arm motion & better timing....great video BTW!
Subscribed! This is such a fantastic video to learn from. I’m excited to now go and see what style I’ve been using.
I call the push putt "granny style" (because of the similarity to underhand free throw shooting in basketball). It's similar in the way it looks unorthodox but actually very accurate!
Thanks, spush vid helped me out. Broke my last year record by one stroke. Played -11 round at my local course. I'm now more accurate and confident in my putts. Had long putts as well, felt good :]
This is good stuff. Take his advice and check out the section you need to work on. There is SO much here, you could easily watch everything and retain nothing. Since I 'Splush' with more spin I will rewatch 'S-Type Spin putters'.
Cool tip to lay out a rope
been playing for about 5-6 months and i just find putting so hard lol
Same. But more like 5-6 years
Thank you for the breakdown….appreciate all the insight. Rope trick has been a great help.
Great video! Prob the thing that has hindered my disc game the most is never developing a style to perfect. Found it interesting that you land on your back foot first while jump putting. Maybe just something I’ve overlooked more players doing
you are the king of teaching. I was a total beginner this summer thanks to your videos i learned to throw backhand (400 feet ) learned to putt, Put the disc on different angles. Next summer i need to work on my forhand and aiming . Keep up the good work. Love your chanel
Thank you.
This is by far the best video/tutorial i have watched about putting. very detailed and simply explained! I gotta thank you guys for doing this. This is very helpful!
Is there a chance we could get more putting videos?
I’ve got one in the works
Nice video!
Hey! Great video explaining all the different putting styles. Thanks alot guys!
Great video. The rope (or tape measurer I’m using) is a fantastic tool that has been helping me out. Thanks!
Just got my own basket today, still trying to find my Style, but this video really helped me understand what I was doing wrong with some of my for each.
Really on point. Thanks for keeping bloopers in! Haha
Don’t tell Simon. Lol
@@OverthrowDiscGolf Doubt anything phases that guy hahaha
John Evans he’s actually subscribed to us! He probably hit the button on accident.
Very insightful and clear summary of putting styles. I'd be interested in your take on how these putting mechanics influence your targeting strategy. I note that many pros throw a soft hyzer to the basket. A controlled curve seems more reliable to throw than a dead straight shot that can drift left or right...
amazing job ! best video ive seen so far explaining the styles and how you can find your style
Absolutely the best putting video out there! Great job...love how you got into details yet made it simple and applicable for many levels of players. Looking forward to your next putting video
Thank you. What would you like to see in the next putting video?
@@OverthrowDiscGolf Tips on determining the best putting motion for your body style. What are the things we should be "feeling" or looking for when we are trying putting techniques? What are "swing thoughts" that the pros have when they are putting?
I would go to the rope drill I mentioned at the end of the video and just find the most comfortable way for you to keep the disc over that line. Don’t analyze. don’t think about what style you want to be. Just focus on what is natural and comfortable for you to keep the disc over the line. Then do it. Later once you have the muscle memory you can come back and find what style it falls in to.
The pro thoughts is a great video idea!
What would you consider Calvin heimburgs style? That’s probably the closest to mine. I’ve always considered it a push put but I definitely spin it as well
It’s a push.
@@OverthrowDiscGolf thanks
Explained very well. Many Thanks.
Love this video! Thanks, it really helped.
TIL Im a push putter
I like the rope to the basket trick gonna use that in my next practice ! Preeeesh!
Best video I have seen from you so far 👌 Great video!!!
loved the video, this helped me out a lot. I have one question though, you do this in your routine, as well as a lot of pros do. You hold the disc vertically in front of your face before you go into your throw. I was wondering what purpose this serves or if it is more of a comfort thing like basketball players do when they bounce the ball a certain number of times before a free throw.
Not entirely sure, but my guess is that it allows them to set their grip as they hold their disc with their offhand. It also allows the lead arm to be loose since the offhand is carrying the weight of the disc
@@OverthrowDiscGolf 10-4. thank you!
I’m taking this to heart. Like, this’ll be my bible.
Well I wouldn’t go that far. Lol
@@OverthrowDiscGolf haha no, me neither. Nicely put together even so!!
Extremely well done….. thanks!
Niiice
Really great break down. Thank you.
Thank you for all the great videos
Straight up the best putting video I’ve seen.
Until watching your video I never knew I was a S-Class Splush putter. With that in mind, it makes me question whether I am squaring up my hips and shoulders correctly.
If your putt is good already, I wouldn't analyze it too much!
This is gold, Josh! Thanks for posting.
The best thing I ever did was buy a basket put a 12' wide net behind it to keep fly aways close. Then I took peices of plastic and staked them in the ground every ten feet all the way to 100' for markers. Then I ordered 10 putters identical to my everyday one. Then practiced for 1 hour most evenings. Then when I was sinking about 5 of 10 at 50ft I started just practicing about 20 minutes. My putting got soooooo much better. Good luck to everyone in their journey.
Wow. Great idea. More impressive dedication
Solid tip video. Maybe do a follow up/part 2 that covers things like footwork, rear leg follow through, front toe, etc. When I moved to spush putting I couldn't figure out why I'd consistently miss my mark right until someone suggested pointing my front foot slightly to the left (RHBH) rather than straight at the basket.
Yeah, maybe that’s better suited with videos working one on one with a student since it’s a little more individual? Not sure.
great tips, love the bloopers.
Good overview. I'm definitely a spush putter. I think I naturally try to minimize my spin to reduce how far the disc can miss, but as I get more confident, I'll probably introduce more spin for consistency.
And when you do you’ll be canning em from like 50ft!
Wow! Every video I learn things that helped my game. You break things down so well and make it easy to understand. Can definitely see my game improving. Thank you!
Glad to hear it. Hope we can continue bringing value.
Great vid, thanks!
This is hands down the best all-in-one putting breakdown I've found on youtube. Thanks so much dude, your channel is awesome.
Thanks. I slaved over the research on this one.
I'd like to see a pt. 2, like more about what's effective in different putting scenarios, because most of the time I'm not trying to throw a straight putt into the basket. It's more like, uphill or downhill with some wind, and I'm not sure if I should try to lazer it into the chains or try to just lob it in the basket. I suppose a lot of that just comes from experience, but I can always use tips.
Heard
Great video. Can you (or did you in another video) explain nose angle for putting? Like when to use nose up, nose down, flat, and how different wind would affect each nose angle?
We haven’t done any additional videos on putting yet. We plan to, just have so many other ideas we need to pump out first
Love the idea of the rope drill! Great video
Just found your channel this week. You are doing some great work. Thanks and good luck with you channel.
Thanks for being here Bob.
Extra pro tip. Make that rope 32 ft or 10m long and mark either each foot or meter. Now you have a way to reliably track your circle 1 percentages from each distance. I use Putt Meister app to track mine but there are other good ones out there.
I’d say that’s a super pro tip.
Man your videos are brilliant!! Im pretty sure ive watch every single discgolf tutorial videos on youtube and yours are among the very best 👍🏻 I usually accord a lot more credit to pros when it comes down to coaching but the more videos i watch the more i realise that most of the time they are a lot more gifted in throwing the damn disc than they are to communicate how they do it... you put the science into words just the perfect way, so keep up the good work its well appreciated!!👍🏻😎👍🏻
We definitely want them to keep throwing those discs! Thanks Phil!
Great tutorial, thank for breaking things down so well with just the right amount of info and footage! Great breakdowns of what the pros do as well, helps me understand what’s goin on there. Stuff I haven’t heard elsewhere. I will inhale on load and exhale on extension, great tip. Plus the rope 😁
Hope it helps,
Josh
Best putting video!
Keep up the awesome content. Very helpful and professional. 👍😁
Thanks Mike. We will do our best
Seriously. I’ve shared all of these with friends and students.
Thanks for sharing!
Great! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪, but: is someone out there who is able to translate it or can make subtitles?
If you watch on a computer I think there is a CC button that allows for subtitles in another language. If that doesn’t work I can send you my manuscript for this particular video if you’d like and then take your chances with google translate
Thanks for all the content you guys put out. Very informative and helpful for all levels of play.
You bet!
Just found your channel, Great Video Man!
Thanks man
good content, nicely done
Genius idea with the rope. Also to add, in observing the pros putt, their release point is hip to waist high with the nose angle slightly up. I noticed casual players like myself tend to release higher and the disc tends to sail or lose energy to drop before reaching chains
I detect no lies
Amazing content
