okay. i've tried different techniques and discs. power grip, modified power grip, 3-finger fan w/ index finger on out side.
and aviar, rhyno, pig, spider, magnet, challenger, etc.

i'm barely hitting the 30+ ft. putts. left off chains, completely right and finging myself in low putt , utah.

recommendations?

Honeslty man, If you can make more then 75% of your putts from 30 feet in competition then you've got nothing to worry about. otherwise just work on the jump putt. If you can make everything under 30' and the rest of your game is there then your a top 100 pro. otherwise follow the best, push putt slight hyzer, 3 finger fan with first knuckle on lip :)

75% inside the circle isn't good enough to be a top 100 pro. lol. Often I find that the difference between myself and a 1000 rated round is actually the exact number of putts inside of the circle that I miss. Not always, mind you, but frequently.

But I do agree 100% with the sentiment expressed. Putting inside of the circle is the most important thing you can do. I shot a 1019 rated round the other week in Kentucky without hitting a single putt outside of 30 feet. Its all about cashing every single close putt you get.

I would like to add that there is no "one" putting style. There are, however, many different "types" of putts that you need to have in your game. All golfers need to practice all of the variety of putts in order to get ready for any situation: stradle jump putts, turbos, upside down, tomahawk, hyzer, anny, drillers, sidearms...you're gonna need them all and more.

Try the following game to work on your putting.

Mark ten spots that spiral 360 degrees around the basket. You can pick whatever range you want, but I usually start at 15 feet and use 3 foot intervals (15,18,21,24,27,30,33,36,39,42 feet). Grab three putters and take three putts from every station to warm up.

Start at 15 feet. Every time you make a putt move up to the next station. If you miss two in a row you have to go back to the previous station. This will usually lock you into the range that needs the most practice. Continue until you either grow weary or you complete the circle. Grab some friends and play for a buck to make things more interesting.

After awhile you can change the rules. For example, you have to make three in a row from 15,18 and 21 before moving up. Or use 3 foot intervals until 30 feet, then 5 foot intervals to get you out to 50 feet. The golden rule is: Whatever works for you works for you.

Have Fun! DD
