As I mentioned in the Disc Golf Fundamentals post, putting is a huge part of being a great disc golfer.  If you’ve played disc golf, you probably know the frustrations of just missing a clutch putt…and then watching your disc roll down the hill with visions of making par or better suddenly replaced by the reality of a bogey.

If this sounds familiar, it’s probably time to spend some quality time working on your short game.  Disccraft’s video on putting sums up all of the key points.  In case you don’t have the time or patience to sit through a 20+ minute youtube video, here are some of the key pointers I have taken away from not only the video, but from other players better than myself: More on Tightening Up Your Short Game

The folks at Discraft have released another instructional video, this time focusing on putting, specifically, putting with confidence. This one is less action packed that previous installments, largely it is just Mark Ellis explaining his thoughts and observations on what will make you a consistent putter. Though it has the feeling of a Tony Robbins infomercial, Ellis makes some valid points here, and it’s sure to help out your game, especially if you feel that putting is the weakest point in your game. This video is a little long winded, in my opinion, and judging by the faces of the audience in the video, we got the brief version. Still, I commend Discraft and Mark Ellis on continuing to put out videos in this series. Too often, the top pros of disc golf speak like, well, jocks, and you only hear a clumsy rewording of the obvious. I appreciate that Ellis knows how to address an audience and make valid points, and is ready to admit that he was not always the player he is today.
