My putting practice is fine i throw about 100-300 putts a day on my ching skillshot

I have also been going out to an open field quite frequently lately, and was wondering if anyone could reccomend a certain practive regime for field throws. Any advice would be appreciated.

I've been taking a stack of Rocs (or Rhynos) and while walking away from my target dropping them every 15-20'. Then walking back toward my target and throwing them. Helps me to 'set~in' throwing distances as well as helping to estimate distances...both of course done by 'feel'. The goal is to have an easy cluster of discs to pick up!

Do the same thing you do with your putting. Start at about 200 feet out and throw 100 hyzers at your skillshot. Then throw 100 turnovers. Then throw 100 straight shots. Then back up to 250 and do the same thing. Then back up to 300 and do the same thing. Then back up to 350 and do the same thing again. It really helps alot if you have a partner to practice with because it goes alot faster and saves on the walking. This is what I did when i realized how SH!TTY my upshots were. I went to the field and threw upshots from 250 and in untill my arm hurt. That really helped me to improve my upshots. Now i can step up to a 250 and in upshot and be confident that my shot will leave me with an easy putt.

Good luck :D

****!! some really good advice!!!!!!!! i think i will try that!!!!

The open field I use for practicing is a seldom used soccer field near my office. There are two soccer goals (with nets) that are exactly 300' from goal-to-goal.

I used to go out to the field and just practice throwing far, experimenting with release angles and hyzer/anhyzer flight paths.

Now, I also do some long range target practice, where I try to score 'goals' with my disc from varying distances. It's helping with the accuracy trying to hit the open goal face, rather than just throwing up and down the field.

Soccer goals are also good for practicing 'from the side'...as you can hyzer or anhyzer into the net simulating 'touch shots'.

Dixon Jowers brought up a great point about practicing in soccer fields. The center circle has a diameter of 60 feet. If you practice throwing from anywhere on the field to inside the center of the cirlce then you are essentially placing your disc inside of 30' (if the basket was in the center of the circle.)

I appreciate the help and advice thank you

i always try to establish a balance of maintaining the feel of things that are working and building confidence in throw types that you aren't comfortable with.

i have found it is possible to over throw and burn out or over work muscles...

as for my own regime, i generally warm up throwing putters/midrange for distance followed by 25-30 of my normal straight drive for distance. after that i'll alternate throw types a bit and work on hyzers, anhyzers, etc. just to keep it feeling good.

if you are still in the process of developing a throw it takes a bit more work. but even in situations where you are working on a straight drive i do recommend dedicating some time to throws you are not comfortable with, but generally not trying to "master" 1 or 2 different types of throws at any given session.

throws i believe most people should have:
1) basic sidearm drive (does not have to have tremendous distance, focus on control if you use this as more of a utility shot)
2) backhand roller (distance, controlled, and sky)
3) overhand/thumber/tomahawk
4) finesse sidearm approach
5) every type of hyzer you have a name for

i often see developing players slow their skill development by defaulting to one type of shot over and over again and then finding themselves in situations where they feel lost, especially in tournament play.

an example of a "developing a shot i'm not comfortable with" drill...
a specific drill i do that often gets a "uhh... what are you doing?" response from onlookers is to find two trees, say 30' tall and 50-100' apart. i stand 20 to 30' back from the first tree and take a stack of putters. from that spot i take a step or two and throw a knife hyzer over the first tree and try to hit the base of the second tree. while this type of shot isn't necessarily super applicable it does help with disc control as well as open up your mindset to look for different lines you may have not seen or considered before. with drills like this i find myself often going over the top where i used to try to thread small gaps at eye level.

these are just some ideas :)

Putt everyday for two hours. Then put some more. When you can make 8 out of 10 from 30. then keep putting.
