I hear a firebird is a decent putter into a 50mph headwind

Chris, why weren't you at the GBO then? You would've killed the competition if this is such an easy putt for you!! I saw the wind do things to discs I didn't think was possible last weekend. The best round in Open on the final day was a 62...which was even, and that was Shoestring.... So please go take some vids of you hitting 20-30 footers into a 50 mph headwind, PLEASE.
I do that regularly, the concept of a dominant foot sort of loses its meaning when straddle putting. But also there might be a number of other reasons why you would use one foot or the other behind the mini. For example how comfortable the stance is, wind direction and the ground conditions that the disc might end up in if you miss. So all of that could affect which foot you put behind the mini, atleast it does for me
You mean like this ?
God I watch too much DG on youtube.
Is that victory lap a courtesy violation? Excessive celebration?
In addition to discounting "internet distance," we probably need to discount "internet wind." People who have no problem putting into a 50mph wind are a lot more common on the forums than in real life, just like all the people who regularly park 450-foot holes with their Roc.
If that's the direction that professional disc golf goes in then I would want no part of professional disc golf.Is that victory lap a courtesy violation? Excessive celebration?
haha I totally agree. Everytime I read a thread on how to play or putt better in the wind you have some guy from Little Breeze, West Carolina telling you it's no different and not hard. Well wind ain't the same everywhere. Some of you have things called elevation and foliage that some of us only read about in the picture magazines.
The guy in the video is not from Texas. He is from KC. I won't give his name because he is already getting grief locally. That was a putt for 3 on a very big par 4.

Anyone giving him crap is obviously not very smart. That was one of the windiest days ever and I've seen pretty bad in my thirty years here. He's also pretty good if that was a third shot on that hole. It was a very tough finishing hole and anyone who took par or less has my respect. Especially on a day like that. :thmbup:
dont do this haha
seriously,in this wind...just lay up
