Putting Mantra

After 2 hours of putting practice out back, I have finally come up with a Mantra that works for me. When I go out to the course and play, before I putt I find myself trying to go over all of the basics in my head before each putt. This is way too much information to be doing on the spot, but I have not played enough and come up with the right technique so that it is all muscle memory like it needs to be. I can't go over everything in my head because it will cause unneccesary stress and confusion, so I needed to come up with a very short Mantra that will help me focus on one or two small things every time I putt. The Mantra that I can up with is: "Open your hand and extend"

"Open your hand and extend"

Some other things that I need to remember when I am putting are to keep my arm straight and on the line of play at all times.

Straddle putts are good when you are within 15 feet of the basket. Any farther than that and you will need to use some bodily momentum and balance with the rear leg.

Do not flick the wrist at the end of the release. Just open your hand and extend your arm towards the basket.

The farther you get, the more hyzer you will need to put on the disk. Still aim for the basket though. If you aim to the right of the basket, you will miss.
