Disc Golf Putting

As in ball golf, putting is where the dough is. As they say, "Drive for the show. Putt for the dough." This and the next two or three posts will focus on putting.

Here's a pic of the forefinger position on the disc edge.

Here's a pic of the fan grip on the underside of the disc.

A putting stance is different than a driving stance in that a player should squarely face the basket and putt from the centerline of the body. This involves Weight Transfer of the body from front leg to rear leg and back to front leg. The three photos below illustrate Weight Transfer.

1) Start of the Putt on the front leg.

2) Transfer of weight to the rear leg.

3) Transfer of the weight back to the front and release of the disc.

When putting be confident. Don't think about missing the basket. Even if you miss the basket. Most likely you'll be right next to the basket for an easy hole out.
