Hey Paul, im having trouble jump putting with any accuracy, any tips?

Stop jump putting. Problem solved.

 

[PMcBeth]

uhhmmm... still waiting, Paul.

Brad you are special but i think you are looking for way more than what i can offer, sorry I have no clue how star skeeters fly.

 

[PMcBeth]

dudes got a life. He normally answers questions once or twice a day.... So it's probably not worth it to post things like that.

Back to the questions

Whats your favorite soft drink?

i quit drinking soda but if i had to choose i'd say Dr. Pepper

 

[PMcBeth]

Hi Paul

Some rounds I feel like I have forgotten how to putt. Does this ever happen to you, and how do you snap out of it?

it's truly just sticking with it. don't change anything in your mechanics if you practiced hard enough it will pull through. once you change stuff around then you have to many things going on and will miss more often

 

[dmbrun2]

That's exactly what I'm doing.. what are good drills to practice when you don't have the time to play?

 

[PMcBeth]

Of all of the discs you are allowed to throw that aren't traditional Innova (Millennium, Discmania, etc), what would your bag look like if you didn't have any Innova discs?

S-PD2, S-DD C-PD C-FD MD2 and S-P2 P-P2
i forgot the name of the popular millennium mid range but that would be in there too

Hey Paul, im having trouble jump putting with any accuracy, any tips?

its mostly about squaring your body... you are jumping to create momentum so use that momentum to push the disc forward in a straight line.

To help legitimize our sport, I have to ask the question...is your girlfriend real?
Perhaps the photos of the two of you are photo shopped. OR...it is all an elaborate scam to rid you of all your disc golf money!

she is real... is that a good enough answer?

 

[PMcBeth]

Oh I bet he is

Paul- How much better is a Buzzz than a Roc?

i would never throw a buzz i don't like the feel or the flight. my opinion has nothing to do with the companies or sponsorship.

How do you go about judging distances? Do you walk out distances during practice rounds or do you do it by feel?

it has a lot do do with your practice rounds. you have to find trees,bushes,hills ect to map out where you want your shot to land or hyzer. putting is a lot about feel or if your unsure even walking it out, you have 30 seconds why not use them.

for putting there are plenty of games.
ive seen ( start from 5 feet with 3 putters and make all 3 move back five feet, make 2 stay at the same spot, make 1 move back a spot zero start all over again.)
you can make up games all the time just dont goof off or you learn bad habits thats my best suggestion.

Paul, at Visalia's End of the Trail Classic (hole 17 on the back course, 1st round)... I saw u throw a beat up Roc through a gap about 150 feet away. Your disc did a late flip to the right and parked the hole. How do you do that???
PS, thanks for the autograph.

that would be a beat up dx roc... that is the disc doing all the work, my goal is just put it at that gap and let the disc start to turn.

 

[PMcBeth]
