The inputs cover putting distance focus (short, medium, long), current putting issue, putter shape preference, plastic feel, stance style, experience level, and wind condition, explaining profiles, grips, and stances for accuracy in calm or gusty weather. These choices suit straddle or stagger stances with soft or hard plastics. This tool teaches putting principles but consistency comes from practice; routines build confidence.

Putter Selection

When selecting a putter for your specific needs consider the following aspects based on your inputs:

1. Stability and Glide:
   • Since you prefer a beadless glidey putter, look for models that offer a smooth, consistent flight. This type of putter tends to maintain a straight line for longer distances, making it ideal for putts between 10-30 ft.
   • The soft flexible material will enhance your grip and feel, allowing for a better touch on shorter putts.
2. Weight and Feel:
   • A lightweight putter (typically 170-175 grams) can help with control and comfort, especially in a light breeze. This will aid in maintaining accuracy without being overly affected by wind.
3. Grip and Release:
   • The beadless design means less friction during the release, promoting a smoother throw, which is essential for building consistency.

Technique Guide

To improve your putting technique, especially focusing on your stance balance and follow-through, follow these steps:

1. Stance:
   • Use a straddle wide stance to create a stable base. This allows you to distribute your weight evenly and maintain balance throughout your putting motion.
   • Keep your knees slightly bent and your feet shoulder-width apart to promote flexibility and control.
2. Grip:
   • Hold the putter with a relaxed grip. Tension in your hands can affect your release. Ensure your fingers wrap comfortably around the disc without squeezing tightly.
   • With a soft flexible putter, feel the disc as an extension of your arm rather than a separate object.
3. Follow-Through:
   • Focus on a smooth release. As you extend your arm towards the target, maintain a steady motion without sudden jerks. This will help with distance control.
   • Your follow-through should finish where you want the disc to go, helping to reinforce accuracy in your putting.

Pro Tips

• Focus on Target: Always aim your eyes at the target before you start your putting motion. Visualizing the target helps align your body and mind for a successful putt.
• Practice Routines: Develop a consistent practice routine to build confidence in your putting. Spend time at various distances (especially 10-30 ft) to get comfortable with your range.
• Feedback Loop: Record your putting sessions to analyze your technique. Look for patterns in your stance and follow-through to identify areas for improvement.
• Wind Consideration: In a light breeze, be mindful of how the wind can affect your disc. Adjust your angle of release slightly into the wind to maintain stability during flight.

Remember, confidence in your putting skills comes from consistent practice and refining your technique.
