How to get better at throwing putters? James Conrad: "Anything within 350ft is a putter shot if you're brave enough."

well, yes but if you can´t throw a driver 350, putter is not a good idea on 350 feet :P

Fast forward 8 months and James just brought this video to life on the biggest stage

The guess need to keep saying the tag line awkwardly now. It’s a signature! Keep them coming Uli !

The guests are gradually getting quicker with the tagline. Lol.

Conrad + Putter = Butter 🧈

So is it putter butter? Wait, no that sounds bad.

I love that you continue to keep these videos short and succinct. I don't always have time to watch something 20+ minutes long, and it's great to take a short break from work to watch another episode! Thanks!

Watching James throw putters is one of the highlights of the sport. He is a magician, and thanks to him I do throw putters much more often (and it's really fun!) Thank you so much for these awesome videos! They are helpful, and it's easy to digest one or two tips at a time!

I have a little hack for beginnings trying to rip putters. I found this out by accident about a year ago. 1) shorten your approach. 1 or 2 steps max for a putter throw (you aren't hucking it 350 like JC here) 2) place your throwing forearm in front of you such that it is perfectly parallel; your forearm, bicep and chest should form 3 sides of a perfect square. 3) place the putter in your standard power grip 4) aim the putter down at 5-10 degrees hyzer depending how flippy it is 5) DO NOT do a full pull through; do your 1-2 step walkup while looking at your disc Steps 1-5 allowed me to get quite consistent 175-250 putter throws, some bone straight the entire way! The one caveat to this is that you can definitely incorporate full power putter throws like James does, or even power down further just to get 100-150ft on your putter. Mine is just for that sweet spot of hole distance.

Awesome guest. Always a pleasure getting insight from JC.

Everyone knows when James pulls out Greenie it’s about to go down.

James Conrad seems like such a good dude... Great tip! Thanks, Uli.

Hey!!!! James got the line in before Paul could add it at the end haha. Getting closer every time. Great tips. I need to take that advise and do more only putter rounds. Used to do them a lot a few years ago, but got away from it. Once I found 3 throwing putters I liked : Over || Stable || Under : and realized I could throw them like 300ft if need be... it exploded my brain and changed my game. Knowing that there's such a small difference in distance 300' vs 400' (talking actual golf shots) between putter and driver really makes you focus more on control and feel. Sometimes a putter is needed for a 300' shot, while a fairway driver is needed for a 200' one. Or even a massively overstable distance driver for a 150' flare ground skip. I think it all starts with bombing a putter though. Great work Paul, and thanks James. Nice job last tourney by the way. Apparently C-Dick is just unstoppable right now. Luckily for you guys winter and Santa will put an end to his reign. Although he might be prepping with that beard, and the "Sunday Plaid" is quite festive. So y'all might be in for some trouble next year too.

Before the pandemic, a few friend and I would get together every week at someone’s house, grab 5 putters and some beers and basically play HORSE with our putters. The goal was to come up with some crazy stances or obstructed lies and have to rely on soft anhyzers, turbo putts, or whatever in order to make the putt. You had 5 chances and whoever made the most would win the round. Doing that regularly improved our short game IMMENSELY out on the course because you felt like you’ve already practiced pretty much every lie conceivable and had a shot ready for it.

Thank you for continuing these in the off season! Love seeing new videos come out from your channel Uli

These are great, Paul. Keep 'em coming.

Mr Barry, thanks bud! Love what you do for us. Down the fairway!

Once again you are the man! Thanks for bringing a guest pro on and I appreciate James his putter shots, thanks for that. Peace

Buttery putter shots are my goal!

Best quick tips on youtube. Keep em coming!

yes! I love James! so great to see my 3rd and 14th favorite disc golfers doing a collab!

Hey Uli, loving these videos. I love that they're geared toward intermediate/advanced player, but still applicable to weekend warrior. I love how they're deeper topics thought out compared to typical 'how to throw far' or 'how to putt well' videos. Thank you for making these and keeping the series going.

Ok so I just wanted to get this out there. Paul your the only Pro I am going to follow on KZread. Your straight forward style is a great. Good luck next year, I really was pulling for you this year.

excellent content as always, james is a legend. we need that putter throwing tier list from simon, james is absolutely S tier

Thats the biggest thing that helped me throwing every disc better.

Getting my putter down has improved my game immensely. Thanks James I followed your lead.

Great tips! More of this please!

You the man Paul

these have been great, thanks paul!!

I have been playing Putter only rounds lately and find myself understanding my angle control and releases better. I can honestly almost score the same that I would with my full bag as well. I may not be able to throw as far, but I find that I don’t get in as much trouble either.

Love the help!

Damn paul, borrow your lil sisters shirt lol. Great episode love all the good tips thanks

Good job boys!

This is your best bushnell hat.

the guests saying the ending is charming

These videos are all great! As an upper tier beginner/mediocre/intermediate something player these short, focused tip videos are easily digestible. Hope you're doing well, friend.

I love how you never prep your guest to the fact that they need to finish your sentence.

I think you should keep the stumble tag line as a running gag. I find myself smiling even before you look over and wait for your guest to remember that they still have something else to say:-)

i think ive been throwing my Mako3 all wrong was throwing it nose down but i guess i should be throwing it nose up to get that controlled lazer shot with a no fade finish

....unless your trying to turn one over on hole 17 at Withrop. Watching James throwing backhand on that tee gives me heart palpitations, I need to look away.

I would like to seen grip and know how much pressure to put on disc and stiffness of rest. Would like to say thanks paul hand over elbow the tip is crucial. Before I knew I was always driving my roc into the ground to the right..

DISC GOLF JESUS!!! YESSSS!!!!

Hey Paul, any chance you can do a session on your anny putting that you’ve been smashing chains with recently? I’ve been experimenting with these to increase my range and you are one of the few pros that seem to be making regular use of the shot.

Awesome content as always... and how many bushnell hats are you rolling with right now?? 🤨

One of my favorites parts of these is the awkward missing of the tagline by the guest.

JAMES CONRAD smooth as SILK ( Good Episode) ULI😎👍🏻🥏

Love throwing putters! Bring JC back! What I wanted to hear: how do you approach the putter throws different than other discs. How do you get that distance with a putter?

@smtx11

3 жыл бұрын

I will try to answer those for ya. You approach them very bouncy, and get the distance by being a James. Or like he said, angle control. I prefer to think any bouncy James can do it, that makes me feel better. Cause I'm not a James, and am only sometimes bouncy.

I'm curious if y'all change up your grip with putter drives. I used to throw Hi Flex Rubber Putters, but they're super un predictable. They just happened to have a better rim for ripping high-speed shots.

I come here for the great tips but I stay for the chance the guest might knock "We'll see you..." out of the park

thanks. what situations call for different nose angles? will a putter flip more if it is nose down, since it is hypothetically moving a little faster compared to a nose up, decelerating shot?

@micah_lee

3 жыл бұрын

A nose up shot never really tends to roll fully over like a nose flat shot (Nose down is ment as like putt the nose down from nose up rather than actually pointing the nose down. It never actually should be nose down relative to flat ground.) It depends on how nose up it is though. I’d suggest taking flippy putters and messing with them a lot. A. it is extremely fun B. you don’t need much room for it and C. you get better at throwing. You would mess with different nose angles by manipulating the plant at which your arms pulls on.

@micah_lee

3 жыл бұрын

I use slight nose up shots to get the disc to go straight and drop down on shorter distances. Also if you watch the Myrtle Beach coverage Chris Dickerson has been throwing nose up approaches (on a few holes on the front nine of one of the rounds, I forget which. Maybe round 1)

@jaholden4

3 жыл бұрын

@@micah_lee yeah i usually do a little bit of nose up when I use a putter for approach shots, this normally gets me a straight/slowly fading flight. Definitely have to practice throwing putters nose down (flat) for more distance and see how much they flip.

Everyone liked that.

In a perfect world every beginner would have to master the putter before they ever pick up an overstable disc.

@smtx11

3 жыл бұрын

But what if it's an overstable putter? Duhn, duhn, duhhhhhnnnn. I agree though for the most part. Except a fairway seems to fit in peoples hands a bit better. I usually give newbies a lightweight understable fairway to chuck for a bit. Once they can see how it flies flat...PUTTER!

Dang I wish he said how he grips the putter? But I guess I’ll work it out... what a guess to have on as well... I’d like this video to be an hour long lol 😆

What about off axis torque and fluttering into headwinds? Usually a grip issue or a problem with form?

@TylerHumphrey05

3 жыл бұрын

i don't know the answer to your question but I remember having trouble throwing putters forehand. Uli put out a video talking about putting as much rotation on it as possible and now it's super easy to throw a putter forehand with almost 0 flutter. aiming is another thing. But i think the same can go for backhand, focusing on getting maximum rotation on it. you're also probably going to wanna use a stable putter and flip it up. if you use a fan grip i dont think you get as much rotation since you're spinning it closer to it's fulcrum? the center. i was playing around with fan grips and have since moved to power grips for most situations except putting of course and i like it

It's a problem with spin. I still have it every now and then with forehands. Problem is, it's caused by a few different things. Grip and form are among them.

isn't the grip more customized to the person? i understand if you're trying to figure out if he's using a power or fan type grip but the rest is finding the comfortable spot in your hand. uli talks about it in a clinic video thats somewhere here on youtube. push the disc into that part of your palm then rest your fingers down on it. i think most pros use some type of power grip most of the time.i dunno though how he's able to control his putters so well. practice i guess

FOOT FAULT! (But seriously putter-only rounds are great for practicing angle control)
