Just The Tip! No. 13 – Make your grip early in your setup
I never alter my grip in any way once my body is in motion, and this includes all practice swings during my putting regime.

Just The Tip! No. 12 – Your subconscious may be smarter than you are
Vortica keeps it short and sweet. Just the tip. We promise! Any time you have the slightest doubt on the DGC, you should immediately stop, and ask yourself what is causing that doubt. This may mean clamping down hard on your grip and not throwing the disc, and bailing out of your throwing motion. Do not progress until you have established what is causing your doubts. Your subconscious can sometimes see things or feel things you may not be completely aware of on a conscious le

Just The Tip No.10 - Rest your expensive disc golf shoes
Vortica keeps it short and sweet. Just the tip. It won’t hurt a bit! It is a very good idea to put your disc golfing shoes on just before you play, and take them off when you finish your round. Rest in comfortable sandals or flip-flops and allow your feet to dry in between rounds, if possible. Chris's TR7s @ 4+ years: heel cup and hole repairs. Three more years at least! On two-round days, change into fresh socks, and have a fresh pair of shoes standing by if conditions are w

Just The Tip! No. 9 – Look out for danglers!
How many times have you let a disc go and thought it was perfect, just before it collided with a small, dangling branch?

Just The Tip!
No. 8 – Eyes-on equals accuracy
Vortica keeps it short and sweet. Just the tip... That’s all... There’s absolutely no reason to ever take your eyes off your target or your Line Of Play unless you can’t throw it that far without turning away. Turning your head away to extend your reachback and develop more power is only for full power drives. For ALL shots you can possibly make, while keeping even just one eye's peripheral vision in touch with your target or LOP, do not turn away! Practice turning your head

Just The Tip! No.4 – Prevent Rounding
Vortica keeps it short and sweet. Just the tip. That’s all. Trust us! When you are fully reached back there is a 90-100 degree angle between your arm and chest. You must maintain that angle, and never reduce it. Ensure that you do not allow your upper arm to collapse against your chest. Lock your shoulder at the start of the pull, or even open it slightly (as shown in the middle above) and turn the rear knee in and down to rotate the spine - see right When the disc gets to y

Just The Tip! No.5 – Keep clear of your marker disc
Vortica keeps it short and sweet. Just the tip. That’s all. On our mother’s grave! We see so many people on the course touching their mini markers during their putting motion before they let their disc go. From 2018 onward this is an instant foot fault and penalty stroke requiring only one seconder. When putting, purposely place your foot 5 centimetres away from the mini marker, so there is no chance of touching it before your release. For drives, aim to plant 20 centimetres

Just The Tip! No.2 – Keeping the nose down
Vortica keeps it short and sweet. Just the tip. That’s all. We swear! Before you reach back in the throwing motion, create your Plane Of Play, and set your disc hyzer and nose angle. Push your thumb down on top of the disc, and push your disc down with your wrist to its maximum deflection in ulnar deviation (right). This is the same motion you make when turning your wrist downward to engage in a handshake. This keeps your disc on the Plane Of Play. If you are especially flexi

Just The Tip! No.1 – Reducing low putts
Vortica keeps it short and sweet. Just the tip. That’s all.
We promise! When you are set up in your putting stance, lift your chin up, so you are looking down your nose at the chains. Then putt. When putting uphill, aim higher than you think you need to, often aiming to fly well above the basket. Because you tend to underthrow uphill putts, and overestimate your own putting power. Word count: 57! Original Tip Sources: unknown #JustTheTip
