The fastest way to drop strokes

Stance

• Staggered (stride): dominant foot forward, weight shifting toward the basket. The most common putting stance — good power and rhythm.
• Straddle: feet square and wide. Great for stability, windy days, and awkward stances around the basket.

Pick one, get consistent, and only switch stances for a reason (wind, obstacles, distance).

Grip & style

Find a grip you can repeat — fan, power, or stacked. Then pick your style:

• Push putt: mostly legs and a smooth straight-line push toward the chains, minimal spin. Stable in wind, very repeatable.
• Spin putt: more wrist and spin, flatter flight, better for longer putts.
• Hybrid: most players land somewhere in between. Consistency matters more than the label.

The motion

Power comes from your legs and weight transfer, not your arm. Stay balanced, keep your nose angle slightly up for soft loft, and extend toward the chains on the follow-through — "reach for the basket" and hold your finish. Keep your eyes locked on a single link of chain, not the whole basket.

Routine

The best putters do the exact same thing every time: same number of practice reps, same breath, same trigger to release. A repeatable routine is what holds up when the putt actually matters. Build yours and never skip it — practice or tournament.

Drills

• Circle 1 (inside 10m / ~33 ft): make-everything zone. Put in volume here — these are the putts that win or lose rounds.
• Circle 2 (10–20m): work on confident, committed strokes; track your make percentage.
• Ladder drill: start close, step back after each make, reset on a miss. Builds distance control.
• Five-station / around-the-world: five spots around the basket at one distance — make all five to "clear" the station.

The mental game

Commit fully before you putt — indecision misses. Breathe, trust your routine, and focus on process over outcome: a good stroke is a win even when the disc spits out. Confidence is built in practice and spent on the course.
