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
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
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.
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.
Looking good. Seems like you are putting the disc instead of trying to lay the disc in the basket. Keep up the great work.
5:02 he got me...
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 RUclips. 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!
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.
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 😂
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!
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.
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 ;)
As always, the best Disc Golf content on RUclips. 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!
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 :)
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!!
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.
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!
I love it. Someone named Paul? This was entertaining. The hardest to imitate disc golfer becomes the one that gives you the greatest success.
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!
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!
Absolutely love all of these videos! Thanks for all the knowledge and humor!
Thank you so much! :)
Putting is very relaxing. (misses putt) ... are you relaxed? (Favorite moment in any of your videos so far!)
😂👍
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 - RUclips Look at the time stamp 12:24.
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.
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!!!
I have been playing a long time but definitely still consider myself a beginner amateur. I do have one tip that I always tell all my friends. Have you played catch with a friend? It is so much easier to throw a ball a disc whatever to your friend. Think of the basket as your friend. My friend is named Rob and he sometimes drops the disc but when I really think about throwing to a person and not a basket it makes it so much easier:). Jonathan, you should give the basket a name:)
Robbie C showing up in a Lat64 video! Also another great one.
Yeah he´s a great guy! ❤
Have you tried the turbo put? It's weird and I don't understand it but some people swear by it.
Haha no not yet.
Kevin Jones needs to like and subscribe. The Paul leg thing is from watching Ken Climo's form. He always did that
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!
Well come back Jonathan!
I suggest to distinguish between the short putts (until 10 meters) and the longer ones. For the circle edge (10 Mt) it's useful using methods like Puttz!: 100 'modular' throws from 5 to 10 meters (see on internet). You can control the succeeding of your putting in your backyard (if it's larger than 10-12 meters).
Great video as always! Funny to see "tossing the disc around" until it feels good with your grip. That's what I do & don't even know why I started doing it, but it felt right. Hahaha! I have been wanting to get a Pure, but will have to pick up a Mercy as well. I mainly throw an Innova DX Aviar3, just love how it feels, but have been wanting to try out different putters.
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
What was first? The chicken or the egg? The egg ofcourse, because dinosaurs lived before the chicken...... love your videos!
When I first started putting, my outs were going left as well, like hyzers. I rectified this by turning my palm up on release. It acted more of anhyzer making the disc fly straight for the entire flight. With more of a flop putt I found major success.
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 (:
Interesting. at 7:27 your front foot facing the basket. I actually have the side of my foot facing the basket, so I turn my foot 90 degrees. I find that it prevents me from going past the basket on the right. I can still miss left, but I created a stop, by moving my foot in that position, that kind of prevents me from over rotating to the right. worth a try..
One thing that happens very often, if you try a missed putt again, you almost always make it. so the thing, I do a putt repetition in my head and the second one always works.... or almost
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
Just remember to chain link and breath, and 2022 will be O.K.
Thank you. Played a round today and my putting was not up to par. Even said need to work on my putting. Clutch.
stop thinking when putting, just do it. thats worked for me. let the muscle memory just do it.
He seriously looks like I did! Haha let’s make up our own putt.. we call it the high time fly
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!
Great video as always Johnathan! So glad your back! 👍
Right on Jonathan! Keep it going! I’ve stepped my game up a lot in the last month. Putts are on fire!!!🔥
Thats awesome!
This is one of the most realistic, wholesome RUclips videos I’ve seen in a long time. From where you were to where you are now because of the practice you did. You showed the reality of practice that it doesn’t go well always but over time it definitely helps. You’re a ledgend. Comedy keeps me engaged too
Thank you =)
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
It's great that Thomas could be so open about how much he really likes you. I know most of us in the comment section agree with him.
Haha yeah :). And I´m really grateful for both ❤🤘
I bet i could make a lot more if I took 5 steps when I putt! Oh, that's not what he meant
If you do something at least 10 000 times, you become good at it.
Out there so long, the snow started melting lol. Good stuff!
Up shot video next 100 ft to 200ft + would be good follow up.
Welcome back! I hope you enjoyed your time with the family! Being super selfish, I'm glad you're back with content!
Haha it was great thanks for asking. But also great to be back :)
A little bit of colored tape makes a really good budget disc dot to aim at!
STAY WITH THE SAME THINGY THINGY THINGY THINGY THINGY LOL
2 things I noticed. In your second round of putting you’re holding your follow through and moving your whole body in to the putt. And secondly, that suit 👀
Haha cheers :).
I was practicing my putting last night in my backyard! I've found out that my straddle putt is most accurate up to 20 ft. My rock putt is legit up to 25 ft. After that my plush putt turns into a full out spin putt. Bending the elbow into your waist line generates a lot of power but I miss right to left a lot. Eventually I'll get the hang of it lol!!! Much love!!!!
That putt with missing footage, and the improvement putt!
Jonathan should be added to the Ambassador team!
air through the middle pole of the basket
Finally, someone else putting with Mercys, I'm not the only one! They are great
Never stop making videos sir.
Never! :)
Great video and a solid improvement there.
A few things touched in other videos about putting that most golfers will have to figure out is:
- the angle of the disc and its nose angle (which comes hand in hand with the putter of choice and the putting style),
- if doing a dry throw without a putter in hand (e.g. Michael Holt) or one in hand.
- what the routine looks like after the putt (e.g. leaning down to grab the mini and disc before reaching for the putter).
There are situations where you may want to have a secondary putting style (for many, that'd be a straddle putt or one with a knee on the ground).
I think he is finally getting the itch to get better.
That looks almost just like my grip
Jonathan, would you be interested in playing on our DGV stream one Monday on the Hops and Hyzer channel? love the vids
Sure :). Send me an email with some info to video@latitude64.se
I've missed you 😭. I flip flopped my putting style for awhile and settled in a pure spin putt. Wasn't finding consistency with a smush or push.
Awesome to see you wear those chains out!
Yes, I'm subscribed!
Thats great, Kevin. Thank you!
Damn it, now the snow on the ground in the back yard is no longer an excuse not to go practice. Sigh...thanks Jonathan.
😂
You’re back!!!!!! Awesome
"So you don't have to buy every putter on the market..."
You're not my real dad, Jonathan. You can't tell me what to do.
😂👍
Damn it Jonathan. Bra format på videon och upplägget på din träning. Inspirerande video men också skrämmande att man kanske snart kan möta dig på någon norrländsk bana och bli storputtad.
Haha tack John ❤🤘
Jonathan’s back! LETS GO!!! Please please please do a video of Jonathan and Ricky!
Might happen who knows. If he´s forced to, haha 😂
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.
What helped me alot was to get more spin on the disc by making sure my hand stays in the front until the release....and focus on the spin of the wrist at the end ...hit your release point at the same time
I too like to add the additional variable to my putts. Love the extra challenge.
As a Spike (with the grip pads) fanatic... The new Royal Sense plastic is amazing! Gotta be grippy to get that snappy spin!
Now we just need to bring back the Spike in Royal Sense!
Jonathan, about your routine; in the future, you should add walking up to the disc/mini to it and my suggestion is that you walk near the spot, look at the basket, and do that "successful putt" weird face with the hand's motion too definitely... whatever - just so the basket knows what is coming and can fear for it. Also, this might prepare you for the putting. But scaring the basket, that is the most important! ;)
Who is that Paul fellow
After only 16,5hours thats so much better. Think about pros spending thousands of hours on their putting game. Keep up the good work :)
You improved a lot!
The old putting was typical beginner putting: Timing off which leads to weak putts which don't go straight but start to fall or fade left.
The new putting has much more energy and you can see this when the putter flies straight and does not fade because it has more spin and speed.
Look at how much force pro players have when they putt. Ricky has almost too much power, many times short putts bounce out of the basket. He is more nervous with short putts because of that.
Also when you are nervous while putting, you loose power and at least my hand becomes jello, mainly the wrist and then the spin is not there and then I have a beginner putt all over again.
So for me the most important thing to get a powerful, straight and consistent putt is wrist action. If the wrist does it's job, the putt is good.
So especially when I feel the nerves, I put all my effort into my wrist so that it will send the disc with enough spin and power.
If you're allowed 5 steps, of course you will putt better.
Haha good point! :)
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 🌈! 🤙🏾
"2 seconds of Zen"... Take a moment to clear your head and relax. Also, follow through.
Great video! The most helpful tip I got around putting tempo came from the great Philo Brathwaite. The tempo of “apple pie”. 2 counts pulling the disc into the body “apple”. 1 count “pie” on the release of the disc always following through to the basket. Use your legs to dictate the speed of the release/ generate power. Good luck out there!
that and "more hyzer fellas" :D
This is great. Love, love your style. 👍 one super great tip is to have fun like Jonathan. Thanks for this great content.
Has Kevin subscribed yet?? We need to know
I think he's playing hard to get.
Why yes I did.
Now i have ;)
sometimes i find it nice to start with 3meter putt. Then go 2-3 meter back between each set, as far as you can. This gives you insight in how far you can putt with flat/hyzer, before you need to amp up your power, or add a wee bit of anhyzer to the throw. It also gives you insight in when you need to start rotating into the throw to gain more distance!
Its also nice, as you proceed backwards and get into the 10-20 meters, maybe put next to a tree or something to add a little spice to the scenario
