As a beginner, you will find that it is extremely difficult to put the disc in the basket, even if you are a few meters away. To putt efficiently and consistently, it requires volume training, volume training and some more volume training. But it is also important to remember some important principles in order to have the best possible starting point.
When it comes to putting, there is no correct method, where you have to putt as you feel comfortable. Different putting methods such as spin-put, push-put and straddle-put are all equally effective. Having said that, it is the execution of the putt itself that is important. What you should think about when putting is:
1) "Line up" with the curve, and aim from the center of the body. Pull the disc towards you in a straight line and aim at the basket in a straight line.
2) Keep the putt and the putting technique as simple as possible. You don't need to weld the arm around three times before putting. Eliminates large movements in the arm that can cause one to miss. A general rule is that "everything you do when you putt must be done every time you putt". That is, for example, if you jump before you putt, you must do it before every single putt. Therefore, keep the putt simple.
3) The last tip for putting is to point towards the basket or post when you have finished the putt, i.e. point where you drop the disc - and preferably hold your hand like this for a few seconds. This helps with aiming and if you first miss, you can see where you missed.
