I have noticed recently a large number of pros on you tube putting with the straddle putt, even when there is not thing in the way at all.
So Im wondering how most people putt.

What's the difference between a "pitch" putt and a "spin" putt?
Pitch Putt - Delivering the disc as if it were a softball (in flight path), as little spin as necessary. This is considered a safe putt as you should not go too far past if you miss, but can be susceptible to the wind.
Spin putt - This requires a flatter trajectory, tends to have more power and therefor spin. Can be delivered from the side of the body, like an approach. This type of putt can yield much greater range for putting, and will penetrate the wind better, but, as experience tells me, can go miles past!
I weight transfer my short putts. Does anyone else do a chickenwing putt? I use this once i'm outside 20 ft. I bring the disc from behind my back down by my knee and release on a slight hyzer. It flattens out and glides towards the basket. I can get alot of distance from this putt. But I get alot of stares from other players. They ask me if I used to play ultimate. I have never played ultimate this is just a shot that i used to throw with a frisbee playing catch with my buds growing up.
That isn't what we call a chickenwing around here. Then only name for what you do that I know of is an "old school frisbee toss".
The Chickenwing is gripped with your thumb under the rim & your fingers on top of the disc then thrown forehand.
