Have not been explained better on RUclips. I was looking for a video like that for a while now. Thanks a lot. Dave, keep up those kind of videos, please.
I'm amazed at how clearly and concisely Dave explained this. Well spoken without a lot of "fluff". Looking forward to making the slow in / fast out adjustment.
Dave, this video instantly improved my putting consistency. When you mentioned how McBeth pulls back and then waits a second or so before putting I said to myself, if one of the best putters in the world does that why wouldn't I try it? I've always drawn back and immediately fired. By drawing back and then waiting I think it has allowed me to make sure my aim is correct and it gave me an immediately noticeable improvement. Thanks man!
It's so true, but really hard to implement because we're accustomed to moving our bodies when throwing. So when you force yourself to literally stop for a beat, your brain immediately asks, "BUT FOR HOW LONG!?" If you can maintain positive thoughts and focus in that moment, I agree 100% that it can produce results. But I'd be interested to watch people try, because I think it's way harder than it sounds!
Spin putting is almost essential if you live in a windy state (Texas, Kansas, Colorado). I began making so many more putts when I developed a hybrid style of putting. Great video and instruction !
Ive watched a lot of videos on putting, but I believe this is probably the best and simplest one yet! Thanks for explaining the difference between the two spin and push putting.
Dave- Thank you! Based on your great RUclips content I got turned onto infinite discs. Started using them exclusively during COVID as local supply dried up. Great source, and delivery was 2 days, this week. I’m not plugging them for a fee or anything, but thanking you for representing a product that reflects positively on you. You’re a true champ!
To be fair, paul has changed his putting style a couple times over the years but I still see the point you're trying to emphasize. Awesome video and awesome explanation between the two styles!
I've discovered that explaining this to new people to the sport is near impossible. Dave has always had a knack for educating. Hope you are well, Dave.
Thanks for this video! I watched it last night then went and practiced today, and my putting improved immensely. The tips on slow draw back and moving the arm down to up on a push putt helped the most. I'm trying the spin putt for longer distances, but no consistency there just yet :)
Dave does a good job of explaining the general motions of the putting types but a terrible job of describing McBeths style. Contrary to what he says Paul does not come "straight in". Paul drops his hand/arm quite a bit and putts from his left hip - a bit across his body. Paul did not "break the mold" because of his specific style. He practiced a lot and has incredible muscle memory, and more importantly, an amazing head game, the key to putting. The Push>Spin style is a spectrum. Paul for sure falls far on the spin side but not as much as Eagle, Simon, And more recently Tristan Tanner. Tanner may be the furthest to the spin side of the spectrum and is incredible. Fun to watch.
I have a lot of respect for Dave as a player, but in this video he clearly has no idea what he's talking in describing McBeth's putting style. Has he never seen him putt before???
When asked on the "ask Paul McBeth" thread on the disc golf review forum: "What motion or act would you liken your putting stroke to?" His answer: "Bowling, but just the opposite side of my right leg."
Nate Sexton is as close of a player to both as possible. He spins from distance, and pushes close or edge of circle. He has some great examples of this just this season alone.
Good logical advice! New subscriber here. Amazing that I spent so many years playing disc golf without even thinking much about these techniques. Trial and error only goes so far.
Another is the old Dave Feldbeurg putt from the 2000's sometime he used a Straddle putt for shorter stuff and a Ken Climo type stance push putt for longer putts.
I am doing both the push and spin in my putt both incorporated 50/50 with the foot pointed at the basket/target pole with the arm push of the push putt but not as low a dip as a true push and the curled wrist spin of the spin putt but not as tucked as a full spin putt. However I have to use my other non throwing hand as a open hand kind of track guide to keep the disc so it does not release at a 45-50 degree angle yeah or more at times when I am tired. I have yet to see a pro do the exact 50/50 between spin and push put then who can win consistently on tour, though Paul does use more the spin putt more but it is a still a variation putt leaning more spin. I do use the Ricky back leg push off the ground a small one from 10-12 feet out to 18-20 feet then adding more and more until 35-40 feet max putt with my main putter. at that point of 35-40 feet I am putting starting over with the back leg push off the ground with my Shark in either Star or old Pro both ~175 grams from 35-40 feet all the way back to 50-55 feet sometimes 60 feet and then from 50-55 feet on back I am doing more an approach shot.
This is the best video explaining these two putting styles, comparing and contrasting them to each other. I've seen on RUclips. I have a better understanding of these two putting styles. Thank you, David!
I tried to follow his form and line up Left hip to the target, for me, helps me be consistent whether a straddle stance or standard athletic/track stance
I’m sittin’ here in quarantine, and then David putts this crazy idea in my mind to learn both putts... and then I think for a minute. And then I’m like: “Oh shoot... this could really help my game.”
Hey Dave Thanks for info ......went and got inspired worked on my straddle type push putt from circles edge untill I hit all 10 putters only took 3 tries lol. Thanks again bro.
I’d suggest watching pros like simon/eagle/paul for spin (spush even!) puttd and then watching Ken/others I can’t think of for push (more likely pitch putts)
When i do my long putts. 30feet+ i like to spin them and in the release i have the disc on a slightly hyzer. so the disc turns over half way in my throw.. it gives me more stright distance.. im chocked over how good it works for me.. push putts are only used in 10feet or shorter.. :):)
Have not been explained better on RUclips. I was looking for a video like that for a while now. Thanks a lot. Dave, keep up those kind of videos, please.
I agree, this was explained very well. some basics with a little bit of insight to how the pros play. Love it!
I'm amazed at how clearly and concisely Dave explained this. Well spoken without a lot of "fluff". Looking forward to making the slow in / fast out adjustment.
Great instructional video! Thanks. BEST PUTTING VID

That was the best break down I have heard! Thank you sir for the knowledge!
Spin putting is almost essential if you live in a windy state (Texas, Kansas, Colorado). I began making so many more putts when I developed a hybrid style of putting. Great video and instruction !
Here in AZ its 20 mph one day and 4mph the next day, very inconsistent wind can make it hard to predict.
Here in Indiana, so glad they put up walls around all the courses so there is no wind. 😂
Great explanation. In fact one of the best explanations I have ever seen about these two styles.
Hell yea Dave, Dave Greenwell had me strive to learn both well. Thankful for that push from my beginnings in this sport
Ive watched a lot of videos on putting, but I believe this is probably the best and simplest one yet! Thanks for explaining the difference between the two spin and push putting.

This has trounced the Philo putting clinic I saw, only because you explained the same concept much more quickly. Thanks!
Can’t believe that video was 5 minutes. I love watching clinics as much as the next golfer but I do love this short comprehensive tutorial
Dave, two words for you.... You rock!! Love watching your videos, they have helped me greatly and I pass them on to others. Thank you!
A bell just went off. Thanks so much. 50 years of disc golf and I finally learned how to practice putting correctly.
Best, most intuitive explanation I have seen. Thanks
To be fair, paul has changed his putting style a couple times over the years but I still see the point you're trying to emphasize.
Awesome video and awesome explanation between the two styles!
Dave is the best teacher, and a damn good disc golfer reigning Masters World Champ
Dave is clutch too. Always appreciated him hitting huge putts when needed.
Great instructional video, extremely helpful.
You nailed it!! Thanks! So many answers!
I've discovered that explaining this to new people to the sport is near impossible. Dave has always had a knack for educating. Hope you are well, Dave.
Great video and explanation. Excited to try it out tomorrow.
He is not wrong about learning both!!
Helps tremendously when weather changes or the shot calls for something specific
Simple. To the point. Helpful. Thanks.
Excellent explanation. Thank you!
excellent explanations and demo!! thank you sir!!
Great video, thank you, sir.
Dropping a lot of knowledge. Thanks Dave
Slow in! Slow to fast going out! That's what you told me, Dave. And it works.
Concise. Thank you!
Thank you!!! Such a great explanation.
Thank you! I've been doing spin putts but will start practicing push putting
Thanks for this video! I watched it last night then went and practiced today, and my putting improved immensely. The tips on slow draw back and moving the arm down to up on a push putt helped the most. I'm trying the spin putt for longer distances, but no consistency there just yet :)
Great content and thank you!

Yes, Paul does bring his disc across his body to his left leg/hip. Not into his body on a straight line.
I have a lot of respect for Dave as a player, but in this video he clearly has no idea what he's talking in describing McBeth's putting style. Has he never seen him putt before???
When asked on the "ask Paul McBeth" thread on the disc golf review forum:
"What motion or act would you liken your putting stroke to?"
His answer: "Bowling, but just the opposite side of my right leg."
oskari or vaino are true spin putters
IMHO, Dave was talking about breaking the mold of the push putting style of 13 time worlld champ Ken Climo.
Very, very good video. Well done.
Great vid! really specified the mechanics of each. Good information!
great info! Dave explains better than almost anyone.
Very interesting points, thanks
good stuff. I never thought about the placement of the thumb on a spin putt.
I find your explanations so helpful - thanks
Well explained good information, thank you!
Great explanation!
I keep going back and forth so came for some clarity. Thanks!
Thank you ! Very clear info.
Dave is the Yoda of disc golf.
So helpful! Nice video, thanks for the tips Dave!
Thanks Dave!
Nate Sexton is as close of a player to both as possible. He spins from distance, and pushes close or edge of circle. He has some great examples of this just this season alone.
Great explanation, very helpful, I’ve only been watching pro dg for a couple months, I’m gonna have to rewatch some of them.
David Feldberg is like my hero.
This information simply amazing! Finally, I "get it"!! Thank you so much.
Thank you 👍
Thanks again. Eye opener vid
Awesome video from a Legend!!
Thx Dave!!
I got tired of spit outs putting on old baskets (Mach III mainly) so I adapted to push putt inside of 25ft for a few years now.
Thanks for this video! Made me realize I’m kind of stuck in weird middle ground between the two styles, which makes me very inconsistent.
right? my dumbass out here doing straddle push puts with a spin. lmao
Thanks for the video
Good info thanks for sharing brother!!!
Great video, Dave! Thanks!
I'm gonna try this out later today. Thanks.
Good logical advice! New subscriber here. Amazing that I spent so many years playing disc golf without even thinking much about these techniques. Trial and error only goes so far.
For straddling, I like to try to emulate Barry Schultz, or Nikko Locastro, as they are a couple of the best.
Another is the old Dave Feldbeurg putt from the 2000's sometime he used a Straddle putt for shorter stuff and a Ken Climo type stance push putt for longer putts.
Kevin Jones too
Great tips! Really appreciate the help!
Great tips! Thanks!
Definitely some good nuggets in this clip. I hope they marinate my brain tonight so I can practice tomorrow.
Awesome, thanks infinite and Dave!
best putting vid yet on YT!
Dave Felberg the master.
Ooooh I’m excited to take this info out to the course. Thanks man :)
Audio is excellent!! Professional player + professional AV quality = Subscribers + Fans
Great Coverage, thank you for sharing, I’m more confident with the education you shared🤘🏼
Dave is a gosh dang treasure
Thank you, Great tips
THANK YOU DAVID 🤘🏼

Amazing!!! Thank you!!!
,
Nate sexton is one of the few push putters who spin outside circle or into a headwind. 🤓. Awesome video. Wish it was out Feb 2017 when I started lol
Ah, your just getting started.
Great tips. Man that was solid!
Priceless!
good stuff. thanks.
Great stuff
This is the best video explaining these two putting styles, comparing and contrasting them to each other. I've seen on RUclips. I have a better understanding of these two putting styles. Thank you, David!
I do a mixture, I bring down and then I spin.
Same!
I just watched a Nate Sexton video, where he admitted that just about everybody does some sort of “spush” putt. Elements of both.
Good vid, thank you.
Dave really is the best teacher in disc golf
Paul actually does go down to his opposite hip though instead of coming into the middle of his torso
It's a little bit of both styles
@@rayackerman5705 yep
I tried to follow his form and line up Left hip to the target, for me, helps me be consistent whether a straddle stance or standard athletic/track stance
I think Feldburg was exaggerating his point of straight back and through, McBeth is relatively straight back compared to most
It depends on the distance. You will notice the differences in his approach from the different distances.
I’m sittin’ here in quarantine, and then David putts this crazy idea in my mind to learn both putts... and then I think for a minute. And then I’m like: “Oh shoot... this could really help my game.”
that is wild dude
Hey Dave Thanks for info ......went and got inspired worked on my straddle type push putt from circles edge untill I hit all 10 putters only took 3 tries lol.
Thanks again bro.
I’d suggest watching pros like simon/eagle/paul for spin (spush even!) puttd and then watching Ken/others I can’t think of for push (more likely pitch putts)
Thank you
Good video thank you!
thanks david
Cheers from Michigan
My friend did work for Paul Macbeth and got some discs from him
For me the spin putt is way more satisfying, I'm out there to have fun after all. The slow motion come in is a great tip
For the first time I feel like I understand the difference between those two kinds of putts and I was able to apply it immediately in windy conditions
Great!
When i do my long putts. 30feet+ i like to spin them and in the release i have the disc on a slightly hyzer. so the disc turns over half way in my throw.. it gives me more stright distance.. im chocked over how good it works for me.. push putts are only used in 10feet or shorter.. :):)
