I had a bit of anxiety before I started playing Disc Golf. I was not going outside, I was nervous and sick every day. I know it's a video about putting, but he said Motion helps break tension, and that couldn't be more true for me. I chose to go out there to the park alone and get into motion. Changed my life these little plastic Frisbee. Transfer that weight out the door and into nature bros. Thanks for the tip John.
Jon knows what he is talking about! Played everywhere and competes at a very high level! I will try it out for sure. Anything he teaches is worth its weight in gold.
I do a deep lunge when I putt so im lower than the basket kinda. It works for me for some reason. I think it reduces the chances of me tossing too short because it feels harder to throw it over at that lower trajectory so I have more confidence to give it more power
Reminds me of an interview of a pro after making an insane putt. He was asked, "After you released it, did you think it was going in the hole?" He calmly replied, "I always think it's going in the hole." I have found this mentality surprisingly helpful. It's as if it transfers feedback to one's natural kinesthetic intelligence, as opposed to intellectual. Try out just one form suggestion (or otherwise, like this video) per training session. It's virtually impossible to get worse over time, at anything, with calm focus in the relevant intelligence. The exception is building a new habit or breaking a bad one. Then you must be willing to get much worse in the short term, no matter what, until the habit is built or broken.
It feels like just one more thing that can go wrong mechanically. I shift my weight but it is a natural part of my motion where this just seems like you are asking for a timing issue.
@@ronjones-6977 That statement is in disagreement with everything we know to be true about sports mechanics. All else being equal, it is ALWAYS preferable to reduce the number of variables that can go wrong. Extraneous movements that do not help you are nothing but a liability.
This video was good. I always take a few steps back behind my lie to get a feel for everything. First take a deep breath, get a feel for any wind or elevation there may be THEN I step up to the putt! Always take your time! We get 30 seconds, use them.

Nothing more frustrating after a long drive, an approach shot leaving a 20 foot putt, and miss the putt. Finally got serious about learning to put. I spent time watching videos. None talked about what this video is. I had no power 20 feet or more out until I started stepping forward with my lead foot like in this video. I now have power to easily putt 30’ out. If I could just get that accuracy down, I will be all right.
I ordered 2 discs from the innova factory store and one of the discs is badly damaged straight out of the box. Sent 3 emails within the past week and haven’t received any responses… thanks innova!
Breathing deeply and slow exaltation help more then adding more variables into the putting equations. On the flip side minimize adding more variables to any part of your disc golfing process.
@@bluesman8349 You are not allowed to step IN FRONT OF your lie. What is demonsted here is standing behind your lie and stepping up to it. This is 100% within the rules. Also, check out Jake Heibenheimer, a pro using a corn hole toss style putt in tourneys. he steps up to his lie even within the circle
@@yojerry3210 Correct, that is what I was trying to say but maybe not clearly. Eventually you have to cross your lie to retrieve your disc, so as long as you have demonstrated balance, you could have done a cart wheel beforehand and be fine.
I did not know that this was legal. I am old disc golfer and always thought 10 m/30 ft away and in from basket, you had to have some part of your body stationary. Guess I need to look at PDGA putting rules
@@jeffgood1580 pretty sure that you just can't move forward past your mark in C1... motion behind it, as in this video, should be fine (from my understanding)
I bag only Innova for the record, but i gotta say this looks like bad practice; good practice comes from learning to be centered and grounded, leading to a single forward motion on a line for a link in the basket, whether it’s straddle or stagger footed, entirely based on body mechanics and natural preference on what feels right. There are so many levels of terrain that would make this incredibly complicated and rife with variables that change the notion of stepping in and timing anything accurately in the putt. I’m not an expert or even pro on pdga but I win local events often and it’s because of my putting. I genuinely advise against stepping into your putt other than preceding a jump putt.
Yeah don’t do this. I was a pretty accurate putter and I tried this and it just makes your putts all over the place. You don’t get the same control. This might help like 1-2 people out of 50.
Rip John.. thank you for sharing this knowledge 🙏

Information weighs nothing. His info is more valuable than nothing.
I feel like putting is something that will always have to be actively practiced. Great tips!
Stepping into my putt changed my game with the rock back before. Great!
I will definitely try this. I have tried everything else and still inconsistent.

If you think taking one step might "go wrong mechanically," you have way more problems than your putting.

I was shocked this had such an immediate and significant impact.

Great tip
Cool tip for sure. I feel like you’d have the potential to foot fault your putts with this though… very rare but I think it’d be a possibility.
Genius and simple
Gonna try this makes sense
I can crank a disc 450 ft, mid game is pretty spot on to, but my putting sucks, I’ll try this
Have doing it for long it works
I like it a very simple move

I’m gonna try this. We’ll see what happens.✌🏻
Breathing deeply and slow exaltation help more then adding more variables into the putting equations. On the flip side minimize adding more variables to any part of your disc golfing process.
If you dont already even that is adding variables.
is that pdga legal?
I'm not sure. Jumping within 30 feet is illegal, but one step? Maybe?
I think I've seen Koling do this
I thought this too. He's the only pro I can think of that does this though.
I putt like shooting a basketball with backspin. The disc flips through the air straight every time. Only good up to 12 or 15 ft or so....
Im guessing this is legal with 33ft ?? Or not ??
Yes, it is. Just can’t step past the maker inside 33 feet. Only can step past your lie once you establish both feet behind your marker
It doesn't hurt to try I struggle putting thru the basket on short putts I have good aim though I hit cage alotttt
Makes sense
Awesome
Do any pros do that
Is a firebird a good putter?
Best Putter Ever. I mean, its got "bird" in its name, so.
My buddy told me you couldn’t step out inside circle 1… is he wrong? I’m so confused now.
Told me you have to show balance so the step put can’t happen unless out of circle one.. please help you’re a pro he is not.

Is that legal, I thought you had to be stationary unless you’re more than 30 ft out
Inaccurate. You must demonstrate balance before crossing the lie.
@@TheRealAbrahamLincoln yes but if you don’t cross your lie you’re fine
@@yojerry3210 Correct, that is what I was trying to say but maybe not clearly. Eventually you have to cross your lie to retrieve your disc, so as long as you have demonstrated balance, you could have done a cart wheel beforehand and be fine.
I think the bigger challenge would be making sure your step lands close enough to your lie.
Is it not a rule though that you can't step into a putt like this when your lie is within 10 meters to the basket?
Nvm I read the comments
Well if you are on a hill and if you just go high enough it will go really long
I did not know that this was legal.
I am old disc golfer and always thought 10 m/30 ft away and in from basket, you had to have some part of your body stationary.
Guess I need to look at PDGA putting rules
You have to have both feet planted inside circle 1. This is ok for outside city one or just practice inside the circle
@@jeffgood1580 pretty sure that you just can't move forward past your mark in C1... motion behind it, as in this video, should be fine (from my understanding)
RIPJB
I thought this was Tom delonge
Does that not count as a step putt?
Nope! He doesn't go past his lie with this stance.
As long as you don't go past the lie it doesn't matter; like McBeth says you can do a backflip afterward. Just don't go past the lie.
Pretty sure this is against the rules though
: )
Putting? Lol
Not good advice
I bag only Innova for the record, but i gotta say this looks like bad practice; good practice comes from learning to be centered and grounded, leading to a single forward motion on a line for a link in the basket, whether it’s straddle or stagger footed, entirely based on body mechanics and natural preference on what feels right.

This can't be right cus the PRO'S don't do it.
They also don't throw both shots from both sides. That's gonna change. Eagle does.
Ambidextrous backhand throwers are the future...
@@colinmcmasters5819 Switch-hitters in baseball, so why not? I turbo putt with both hands.
Jeremy Koling does this. Ultimately putting from this close range is mostly mental, so whatever works for you is best.
No thank you
Don’t do this.
Yeah don’t do this. I was a pretty accurate putter and I tried this and it just makes your putts all over the place. You don’t get the same control. This might help like 1-2 people out of 50.
