I heard on PDGA radio that you do 200 putts per day and you normally do not putt outside of 28ft.
First, how do you not get bored during practice? if i am not putting well, i tend to get sidetracked and just end up wasting time. is there a game you play or a mentality you have?
Also, since you do not practice outside of 28ft, what and how do you practice for shots outside of 28ft?
thank you for youe time and tips.

I can get a liTTle boring, but if I want to have a beTTer chance of winning I have to put in the puTTng time. If your mechanics for 28 footers is is solid the longer puTTs will fall with just a liTTle more pop in the stroke.
When I get bored I will work on sidearm puTTs, Turbo puTTs, even mess around with some lefty puTTing(which has goTTen preTTy good).

Thank you for your response. Any tips on putting in general? My stance and aim is very identical to yours. Thank you again

How did you settle on 28 feet? Seems like an odd distance.

28 is a "perfect" number (google it). :D

I wondered that question too after he said it during our recording but never got to ask him about it. All I can think of is that it's either all the room he has in his yard or it's one step inside of 10-meters.

One more clinic from Mr. Schweberger this week, then it's on to a series from Sir David Feldberg.

One would think 42 would be the way to go since it's the meaning of life.

But I did google 28, and since I SUCK at math I'm really confused.

No problem...Try and grab the pole on your release and hit a link on the backside of the chains...this helped me stop coming up short on alot of puts...never up never in.

No real reason behind the 28 feet, i will still take a step inside of that every now and then to make some shorter putts.

Schweb, your still my hero...

"Putting Percentages game"

I dont' want to step on any mullet toes as I realize these questions were directed to cheeseburger, but I thought I would share the percentage game I play when putting to keep my interest and focus. I have been playing this same simple game for 8 years now and it still doesn't get the slightest bit boring.

I start by marking several distances in a straight line from the basket about 3 to 5 feet apart. The first line should be close enough where you RARELY miss (10ft or so. When you measure 10ft, it looks like a drop in).

So the point of the game is to try to advance to the farthest line possible based on hitting a certain percantage of putts from your previous round. I have been going for 100% for a while now which means that you advance to the next further line by making all of your putts (I use anywhere between 2 and 10 putters). You also move down based on missing putts the previous round.

I will explain with an example where I am using 4 putters and going for 100%

- If I make 4/4, I move 1 line further.
- If I make 3/4, I try again from the same line.
- If I make 2/4, I move 1 line closer.
- If I make 1/4, I move 2 lines closer.
- If I make 0/4, I start over at the closest line.

The nice thing about this game is that you choose the percentage you would like to work on, then the game determines the distance you need to practice to inrease the distance that you are able to shoot that percantage from. It can be adapted to any percentage you want to work on. When I practice jump putts, I will go for 50% and that will allow me to practice further putts.

I have been practice putting rather religously everyday for about 20min when I come home for my lunch break for at least 5 months now. The season is still young, but I am already seeing an improvement in my consistancy inside the circle.

Schweb... you ever throw any 9x whippets? if so how would you compare to the other whippets you throw

Nope, never thrown a 9X Whippet. I think they have gone threw a retooling in the last 8 years.

yea, the 9x were still the regular W mold not the retooled X mold. i liked the old mold better.

Is this coming from a discraft guy??? :p

he did use the past tense (liked)... and i'm getting my hands on 2 soon thats why I was asking.

even the 9x weren't the REAL whippet though were they? didn't it go old mold>w mold>x mold?? boy would some old mold whippets in stylin' new plastics be sweet!!!

i personally have never thrown a whippet... anyway for me to tell if its the 'old mold' biscoe?

I've got several brand new ones from the early to mid 90's. Sweet feeling plastic. San Marino style. I'll dig a few up and let yah throw em'. Going to be in Wilmington?

awesome offer but unfort. no... yadkinville spring maybe and def. the clash

yes you are correct there was the original mold then the w mold then the x mold, biscoe wins something

Original mold was so stable that you'd better have your legs spread if you were going to hold one out away from your body. Otherwise, you might fall over! ;)

I did like the 9x better and still have a couple of them along with one or two of the old DX original mold. At the time, they were one of the great headwind drivers.

Stack, once you figure this disc out it will be your go to overstable midrange, I'm calling it now. Jerry Gotcher got me into them and I thank him to this day for it. The Whippet is by far one of the most predictable discs I own.

hyzers, skips, and thumbers... OH MY! :D

i personally have never thrown a whippet... anyway for me to tell if its the 'old mold' biscoe?



underside of the rim has a more pronounced curvature, almost like a bead. more overstable than the newer configurations.

watching Schweb on tv right now... NICE!

(warming up/playing @ USDG on disc golf live)

kewl, I heard that was down in CharloTTe now.

yeah... he's been broadcasting for a little while now. Really cool to have random people come up to me and say things like... hey i saw that frisbee sport you play on tv... it was pretty cool.

will be interesting to see what they have to say about this episode w/ your mug all over it! ;)

That's what I'm talking about! The Sun pm is some prime time broadcast space, too.

A lot of folks in town who didn't know about DG probably will soon. That's the way its been here and other places the show plays.

Thanks again to Schwebby and others who pitch in with Disc Golf Live. I've talked to Billy Crump recently and folks in Charlotte can look forward to seeing more of their own on TV - we'll have a segment from the Renny Gold Clash in the July episode. Woo Hoo!

Joe

NICE... and hopefully some Carolina Clash USDGC Qualifier action as well!

yeah... you really do have a great time slot (not to mention the other random times they put it on) A lot of our guys tivo it regardless.

happy b-day stack

Happy Birthday Stack!

Happy b'day Stack.

We'll start with Renny and go from there, but you can expect more of Billy's goodies down the line as well. I remember a crew going out to shoot at Rock Hill last year but didn't hear any stories about the match yet.

Plenty of Winthrop Gold in the May show as well. Stories on day 2 and day 3 at the USDGC. I'll get a snippet together and put it up on youtube.

Joe

Thanks guys!!! and i'm looking forward to seeing some Nature Boy Productions stuff on your show!

HBB! :D

There needs to be a "Schweberger and fries" on some menu in Da Cacalak..

Make it happen...

It is obvious that a Schweb-burger would be BIG, but what toppings should it sport?

Discuss . . .

has to be peppered.

there is no way that Schweb can have any disc for too long that doesn't get "seasoned" from crushin' thumbers.

and sticking with the overhand theme, maybe the Schweb dressing - TOMAHAWKTO

It is obvious that a Schweb-burger would be BIG, but what toppings should it sport?

Discuss . . .

Anything but beef since I do not eat Beef.

that's why the cows love him so.

"I'll take a Schweberger with extra beef please... "

Add Sirloin, leather and extra hoove please...

Schwease sir, may I have some more? :)

that's why the cows love him so.

that is my liTTle Secret

My god... I'm scarred now.

Oh yeah, Staniel - MS has one of your discs.

Congrats on the win, course record, and ~1060 round!

And some said it couldn't be done... :p

And some said it couldn't be done... :p



dude that round was sick.

I knew it could be done, but we've had 7 years of playing this course so roughly 2,500 rounds of competition on it and we have ONE round under 54 and FOUR rounds of 54 of better.

That should tell you something.

You and Lorena have something in common. ( it was almost Tiger but G.Ogilvy had other plans).

Side note: Schweb has won 8 out of 10 starts going back to 07.

Kozak

27 of the last 46 since FDC's 2006....but whose counting. ;) :)

Hey Schweb,

I didn't see a blog for the Crosstown? Whats up with that?

Hey Schweb,

He's saving space for the Clash! ;)

At that point in time I was not in the mood to write about one of my worst rounds of golf in a while.

I hear ya

thought you said IJAT MTL? Or is that just for Schweb and others? ;)

Congratulations on the weekend Schweb (45 @ nest, 57 @ renny, usdgc, win, awesomeness!)

Study the art of Trimonometry and you too can shoot a 57 at Renny Gold. Nice win MulleTT

Are you undefeated this year? All I see are 1's.

he didn't win the crosstown.

Sorry, the wind was blowing 40 mph, so I thought i would just try to cruise in with a solid round considering the conditions.

Totally weak.

I know, you probably would have beaten me

Nice Brian, except for the typo....but we know better than that.


So far this year he has has gotten off to a fabulous start by winning 10 of the 13 tournaments that he has played in and he has earned $,644.

*sighs*

It's the same idea as someone saying "that's slander" on a message board and then people say "no it's libel b/c slander is spoken."

This has gone to the supreme court. Message boards and email represent the spoken language of that individual. Libel only applies to things PUBLISHED in a magazine or website article, etc.

There is a big difference beyond the basics of slander and libel. Slander is much easier to prove than libel b/c with libel the prosecution / plaintiff has to prove malicious intent.

Whats up with your ZD Blog?

I have not been in the blog writing mood, I will get back into it. Not many people responded to it when I was doing it. I will get the bug again and hit it strong again.

Good.

I enjoy reading it and read every entry *I know I'm not alone in that) and I love picking peoples brains. Just keep up the style like you did with the clash and it will be a success.

Plus I really wanna read what you have to say about my event this weekend after its done ;)

Cool article, good to see even the small town papers getting into the sport.

And to MTL, this video clip summarizes your writing career so far... :)

Um no :D

YEAH SCHWEB!!!.... 1100+!!!!

crazy round! how do you feel it compares to either rounds you shot @ renny or ho's nest during the clash? ratings aside since the short/long courses rate slightly differently... did it feel like it was that much of a higher rated round to you?

also (and I think i've asked you this)... are you going to worlds?!... like to see you tear it up out there!
