    If you're in michigan I could 100% fix your putt. For now pick one spot say 7-15ft where you feel confident in 7-8 out of 10. Just practice that one distance until you get a pop feeling and keep doing that. Your body will adjust on the course for distance. Eagle McMahon does this and made a video about it a few years ago. Also talks about it in clinics. Pretend you're sliding the disc along a table from your bellybutton. For more power add some pendulum like Calvin. It's a good mix of power from the swing, spin from the arm and hand like a table, and touch from the loft and height you give it.

    I’m about six minutes into your video and want to drop a quick comment before I forget. When you’re putting you seem to stop your hand quickly and mid air when you release. What has helped me a lot with my putts is following through after I release. I used to stop my hand the way you do, and I would always miss short.

    You inhale too much before you coil (hence the heavy puff post-toss). Filling your lungs with air makes your torso stiffer and you have to work real hard to coil. Try taking a deep breath then just letting your chest collapse on its own to expel air. That's roughly how much you should hold when throwing. It should be 15-30% of your max lung capacity, but should feel like basically nothing when you're standing up straight.

    It is always hard to pay money for content, when there is so much free content around.. Overall youtube is a better source (because it has it all), but PDGA have a really structured course, with concentrated content from top players. It might not suit your play style, and other youtube will. For myself, I joined PDGA, and I immediately saw improvements to my putts, it was night and day for me... Even my friends noticed and agreed that I got more power, and more spin into my putts. And upped my 20' putts to 80% from 20% Thing is you can get it all from KZread, but on the PDGA you get it all, no need to look at someone teaching you bad stuff.

    Congrats! I set NADGT as my goal this year. Same as you, my tournament play is nothing close to my casual rounds. I podiumed my first tournament at Roy G here in ATX...MA-40. Since then, I can't get a score lower than +9. Even scored +22 at Circle C. Ive NEVER EVER scored that low. Ive improved my putting this year immensely. Next is backhand to get to a consistent 300 ft. My max ever was 390 and that was 50 ft of rolling and 340 in the air. My first ace was last year: 327 ft skip in. Even with some success, consistency is the true goal once we break through. What division are you playing?

    So what I heard was the academy didnt teach you specifically any new skill but rather forced you to try new approaches to your form or methods and that was the kicker. I know you’re a big Discraft guy and technically discs dont make the player but I will say Ive learned a lot just trying a variety of different discs from all companies. Even learning new things that I can apply to other types of discs. Id love to see a video of you trying a mixed bag of recommended discs from other companies for a month and seeing if you learn anything that you can then apply to your Discraft bag.

    I think you’re conclusion may be flawed. I’m not saying that the power academy or any in-depth analysis doesn’t help with improvement. But it’s more putting in your 10,000 hours and maybe the process of practice. Like Simon said it’s not how you do it. It’s the fact that you’re analyzing yourself. The fact that you’re practicing with the purpose of getting better. So as great analyzers of sports have concluded, it’s put in your 10,000 hours and improve your process of practice. And that may be any coaching. Especially multiple coaches. Helping you to analyze what’s working for you.😊

    @@dmcreatives His conclusion is, he got better because of power Disc Golf. But his criticism was they had contradictory and inconsistent teachings. I think he got better because of the work he did an even inconsistent coaching can be good coaching. He put in his 10,000 hours and he improved his process of practice. And you probably need coaches to improve your process of practice. I never once stated that coaching or thinking about things your coach said would be a problem. But your explanation is what we call anecdotal evidence. Which is basically not evidence. Try looking into “10,000 hours” by Phyllis Lane or “Grit” by Angela Duckworth. And my observation is he would’ve gotten better just by practicing so much and by thinking about improving his practice. What studies don’t show is there some specific perfect practice or perfect technique. Even he said he thought the program worked, but it was contradictory. And even a top pro like Simon agreed that there’s not some perfect technique. So definitely practice, but also take from a number of coaches and analyze what works for you.
