My Favorite and Most Effective Disc Golf Putting Tip 

You are a top tier communicator, SS. Your voice and mindset are refreshing in our sport. Keep it up. We appreciate you.

A good example of why Scott Stokely is the top coach in disc golf. Breaks it down as simple as it can get. Tells you the what, the why, and the how. Makes it actionable. Thanks, Scott.

I have such an issue with putting. I’m definitely going try this and be consistent with this rule. The Golden Rule of Putting! Thanks Coach!

Hey Scott, I don't have much time to throw discs or watch dg content lately, but I saw your ace at Waco and it inspired me to keep practicing. You've been bringing the incredibly energy for a damn long time and I hope you don't stop any time soon! Thanks for everything you do!

What a badass. Such good instruction.

I used to be a filthy putter and then I got the yips after focusing on distance. Damn- 6 and a half minutes fixed my yips. Was crushing my putts at circles edge today. Thanks Scott Stokely.

been watching you for a while now. im still learning a lot but keep up the great tips! enjoy watching them.

This also taught me the biggest thing to help me putting years ago! I like to envision a small box in front of the basket/chains and when I'm connecting w it I'm on!

Never really crossed my mind to leave my follow through up to see where I was releasing. Great thought process and well explained

I saw a video with Ricky Wysocki where he said to shake hands with the basket. This way of thinking has really helped with my follow through.

The follow-through concept applies to so many scenarios. I shoot skeet & clays a lot & follow-through is absolutely essential for good shooting. The opposite is "stopping" the gun (which results in missed shots). Thx for posting ☆

Sir Scott, your old vids have helped me so much. Remember the one where you compared putting to throwing a dart? It was a game changer for me.

I've seen this talk w Stokley b4 but still clicked to watch again cause its that good! Simple but u see so many people never do this!

This was totally helpful!!! Maybe best tip ever. First round out with this in mind I scored better and stopped missing right as much

Absolutely plausible, as soon as you hear it. And really well explained, thanks so much! Regarding other sports: I always wondered why snooker or billard pros usually leave the queue stationary for so long after hitting the playball. Often they hold it so long in the position, that they have to pull away just in time before a ball hits the queue or their arm. Now that makes totally sense to me. : ) (They also tell you to "hit through the ball", which I think is billard's equivalent of follow-through.)

I have been using my practice basket, with intent to hit the target for a couple of weeks now. Half realized today... aiming with my follow through helped me be more on target. I have had this video saved for a month, then watched it just now. It concreted the idea of aiming with my follow through, learned The Golden Rule, and some more. Thanks Scott!

I really like the way you teach it just allows me to capture everything you are saying because you make it understandable.

This is some great advice. I’ll pay ya back with some great advice Scott.. Sell those bomb ass jerseys!! Every one you wore at WACO was perfect.

One of your best tip videos. Much much better than the don't serve the pizza tips. This one actually works. ;)

I have been telling every new player to the game this for 40 years. I put athletic tape on a finger or two on my left hand, and put the letters SSF there for a reminder for my routine. The first S is SPOT, find your spot, and the second S is SET, and set your shot and then the F is FOLLOW THROUGH and do exactly what Scott says make sure your hand stays right on the follow through and I can’t believe how many PUTTS I have made with that Technique. Don’t get me wrong. This is not easy to do each time you putt you have to think about those three simple things … but the most important one, is follow through. CONCENTRATE… which is simply FOCUSED ATTENTION. That is what makes a champion. Edit here. I would like to add that it is SO important to NOT look at your disc, keep your eye on that SPECIFIC SPOT (the first S ) …just like a free throw shooter in basketball, he only looks at the back of the rim…

Having immediate clear feedback is so crucial to self-teaching and correcting... great job communicating the need for a judgement point in your technique. So important to be able to tell yourself "Yes - that is correct" or "No - what did I do wrong and what changes do I need to make" with every putt. Good stuff!

Great ace in Waco! It's cool to see that you still love the sport

The 6 month class helped my putting a great deal, due to things like this. You can aim and pump fake and feel good, but that follow-through and keeping your arm/hand out is going to tell you what you actually did. If you're looking at your missed putt and seeing your arm way right, that's information! It's easy to forget to do it in the moment, but if you miss 6 key putts and are starting to get frustrated and remember to keep your arm out, BAM, you'll know what you did and you'll sort it! You'll give that 7th a good chance, feel like you've worked it out, and that 8th one will go in. Just remember to do it right away to save the 6 strokes!

I had a rough day on the course yesterday. Missed everything outside of 20 feet. I needed this pep talk. Thanks Scott.

Dude all I have to say is thanks man 🙏 this helped a lot

This guy has a real gift for teaching

Scott as always you are the man I needed this reminder for some reason so thank you!!

I love how you explain the theory behind the concept. Thanks Scott!!

Perfect video for the front of the body during putting! Scott, can you cover the legs and counterbalancing form to get the line to the basket going through the entire motion. Took me a while to figure out how to let my left leg pop up behind me no matter how far away and through a common line to the basket. Until I got the back leg working right, the upper body would end up unbalanced, despite pointing at the basket.

Soooo helpful. Thanks so much.

Awesome video Scott! Love your content as always!

Just decided to have a putting day today and then I see this video was recently uploaded =) Thank you sir!

Good info thanks Scott !!!

Awesome tip, thanks for sharing!

Thanks Scott!

Thanks Scott. I needed this.

I am putting better with the Golden Rule of Putting, at least in practice. I will try it out on the course soon. Thanks very much for another great video!🎉

YESSS! Love this advice. Shorten the feedback loop between action and result. Freezing the follow-through works down to the smallest details - is my shoulder in the right spot? is my head at the right level? Is my body moving forward? Whatever is part of your routine and putting motion, you can validate it against the result ONLY if you hold that follow-through.

Love it Scott!

Great information and even better communication.

Thanks for all that you do for the game, Scott!

Great content!

thanks so much!!! I will try that.

I call it this tactic "Hand of God" . As long as I'm obedient it has positive results. It's similar to darts as well - you literally point at where you want it to go . Similar to the end of a barrel of a gun and a bullet trajectory .. not a new concept but you provided clear details some may have missed. Good work.

Always aim with my follow through.

It's a tip, not a tip, a rule, not a rule, a lifestyle.

Great Video!!

You the Man!!!! Thanks for that bud

I will get some important info here for my practice sessions. Also, I will be sure to use my Pluck-Stik to make practice sessions effortless!

Amazing. Watching the pros on DGN. Very few follow this golden rule. They drop their hands after release. I will follow this rule however.

Thnx!

Interesting information! I also find that bending real low to the basket and then pushing off my back foot towards the basket allows me to basically throw in a line from my chest towards the tip of my nose. If I don't lean towards the basket it's like aiming from the hip! Edit: I basically copy James Conrad and it works 😂

Just for that everyone should subscribe that watches this video! You have explained soooo much better this Sooooo Beneficial appreciate it!

I already bought a bunch of Bergs! You said Bergs were good

God damn this guy is good🔥🔥🔥

Golden 🙏

Finally someone who can say the word important properly.

thank you for the golden rule! God bless you!

Gannon buhr is the exception to this lol

from the golden teacher

Well spoken sir.

Me and Scott have the same basket

The golden rule of putting is a good metaphor for life. No matter what life hands you try to follow through by pointing at where you want to go.

Hey Scott, I’d love to trade my expertise in lawn care for your expertise in the Stokely Complete Disc golfer course. Let me know if you’re into trades. Awesome content. Thanks for your sharing. (Completely kidding above. Thanks for the videos.)

This is pedantic but pro athletes in other sports definitely self assess and adjust. They might not even know they're doing it. Many ams (self included) don't adjust well because we often incorrectly identify the problem or we identify the problem correctly and the adjustment throws something else off. Knowing you have an adjustment to make can cause or relieve stress and stress=missed putts.

Ignore the Golden Rule at your peril. Get more like this with his 6 month online course!

Could someone send this to Henna Blomroos? She's an amazing player but sometimes her follow through is just not there ❤

Roady could putt, best I seen

Really? No other sport allows you to self correct? 😂 Idk about that one. Liked the video though!
