What angle do you putt at?

[NSDallin]

Simple question. On a flatland no frills 20 ft putt, do you putt anhyzer, flat, or hyzer? what's your reasoning behind your angle?

 

[thatdirtykid]

I putt hyzer (RH), I really try to putt flat but have trouble breaking habits.

I focus extra on putting flat in crosswinds especially Right to Left.

I would say the only downside to putting flat is if you are off on angle maybe more likely to miss left or right.

 

[Kodachrome]

flat and just a tidbit nose down.

more of a natural angle of release for me and it deflects the disc down into the bucket.

 

[Stardoggy]

Flat, and it took a ton of work. A lot of toying with foot placement, delivery, and follow through.

It's always a work in progress.

You left out some choices. I selected hyzer, because in regular conditions at 20' and in, I'm gonna putt Hyzer. But as a push (loft) putter, I will go flat, and even occasionally anhyzer in certain winds, from 20-35'.

 

[DiscJunkie]

I try for flat, but if I err, it will be a slight hyzer.
Flat putts have a better chance of going in.
In my experience, flat putts will hit more chains, they have a smaller cross-section for crosswinds, and will have fewer cut-throughs.

I said no frills which means no wind. So you putt hyzer

 

[Halcón]

Just a hair of hyzer.

 

[Mike C]

Flat.

More glide than hyzer, more predictable than anhyzer, better at fighting the wind in most cases than either.

I'll angle it when I need to, but for the putt you described flat all day.

 

[thejake78]

I voted hyzer. My goal is to putt more flat, but I tend to put a little hyzer on it.

 

[BuzzzChief]

wide open no wind, I will putt with a very slight hyzer. When the wind is up, I try to keep it flat, maybe even a touch of anny for a R-L crosswind.

 

[Monocacy]

At 20' it probably doesn't matter how I putt. For longer putts I use a little anhyzer to keep it straight. I voted anhyzer because I try to putt the same way as much as possible. 20' and in, though, I can get sloppy.

 

[Quinum]

I used to putt with hyzer, but I am now really working on a consistent flat release. Definitely gives me better results.

 

[namar]

as flat as I can manage for this particular scenario.

 

[1978]

What ever the appropriate angle is to miss the current putt.

 

[captain jack]

From 20, zipline, center chains, trying to hit that red tape on the pole, hyzer is not for the wiser in this range.

 

[mm1315]

I use a flat spin putt that way my motion is the same from 10ft to 60ft with added speed for the further distances.

 

[EagleWings]

I putt flat because in theory that gives the disc the least likelihood of missing, since it will follow a dead straight line the entire flight.

 

[benny andthe jets]

I put a good amount of hyzer on all of my putts but I don't push it out to hyzer into the chains I blast it at the strong side. If you have ever seen footage of Matt Bell putting in a tournament that probably the closest though he straddles out wider than I do.

 

[Jimb]

Currently, slight hyzer, aiming a little right of center, RHBH.

I was having inconsistencies putting flat and have been trying the hyzer release recently. It's still a work in progress, but results have been very promising thus far.

It seems to be increasing my range with a more repeatable motion. It also seems to be more consistent when I have to change from my normal slightly staggered stance, to a straddle putt.
