End of Jump Putting as we know it

[Jay Dub]

I have never said to ban the follow through.

No jump putting within the 10m circle.

No reason to have to move past your marker, take one or two steps back and move to your marker, not past it.

that is already the rule. so what was the point of your posts?

I think there is only so many times we can beat a dead horse here. The jump-putt/putt-jump is legal as long as the disc leaves the throwers hand before they leave the ground and their foot is behind their marker.

No...it's not. You can follow through past your marker on a jump putt, and it's sketchy as all hell in my opinion.

I'm not arguing, but a little confused.

Are your posts specifically about putting inside the 10M circle, or everywhere?

What's throwing some of us is when you say you don't want to ban the follow-through, but there's no reason to move past your marker. How can you throw from your marker, and follow-through, without moving past it?

Or are you saying, outside of 10M, a player can follow-through past his marker, but shouldn't be allowed to jump-putt?

Not inside 10 meters. And outside, why is it more sketchy than any other follow through that takes you beyond the marker?

I should emphasize that my previous post regarding this already being the rule was to no jump putting with in 10 meters.

as to the other point, Are you saying that you should be allowed to putt from further away from your mark than 30 cm.?

Because so many people don't jump putt correctly. And it's almost impossible to tell when someone jump putts correctly due to the timing. I'm with JayDub on this issue.

I don't follow through on any shots, even fairway drives. I didn't even know that it was legal until I started reading this thread. I've never had any problems not passing my marker on fairway drives, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue for a jump putter to do it either.

waste of an argument, i say let people keep jump putting, they hardly ever make it anyways and it usually blows past the basket resulting in another come back putt, and im still winning

You admit to not knowing the rules very well, maybe you should start there before you want them changed?
Why punish the people who jump putt correctly instead of those who does it incorrectly? And if you can't tell, what is the problem in just letting it slide? I still haven't read a single decent argument for that
