- In this video I head out to the course and show you all my impressions on my new favorite disc, the Cryztal Fierce. I have always loved throwing putters, I find it so helpful to come into the green nice and softly so it just rests where it hits. I will be giving you all a few pointers on how to make this turn from a difficult task to your favorite shot to watch.

Best tips I've gotten that improved my putter game many years ago:
-Throw the putter with a little nose up like Paige said.
-Aim higher than with drivers and midranges and take advantage of that glide.
-Don't use a power grip. Switch to a touchier grip that allows for a smoother release.
-Bend your wrist just a little to get that little extra spin to make that putter float.
-Play putter only rounds and play catch with your friend so that you get plenty of repetition.
-This tip is from me: Get a putter with a high profile like a Nova and learn to throw it. They require a cleaner technique to be released correctly and after you can throw a disc like Nova nice and clean you can throw any disc without wobble.
I would agree with most of this in general. Putters have plenty of glide but require a ton of height for real distance, however... I wouldn't attempt to throw nose up or bend my wrist any differently than I would for a drive. I would definitely aim higher, but attempting to add nose up will only cause issues. Bending more isn't going to necessarily add more spin unless you're throwing a touch shot either. A drive is a drive is a drive. I personally use a power grip for everything (so does McBeth). I do nothing different when I throw a driver other than aim higher. For reference, I use a Nova on almost anything under 300 feet and drive them upwards of 350 feet (with plenty of airspace, of course).
7:50 "Don't try to overtorque them..." *James Conrad enters the chat*
Her discs are so clean. Im thinking I can get a few more feet if I clean the 5-10 grams of mud off my discs
I laugh because I relate
Favorite tip: match lower body speed with upper body speed. I feel like I should work on doing this for many of my throws, not just situations when I'm throwing a putter. #fiercepierce
Tristan Tanner might have something to say about that
I needed to hear that
Seriously, Paige is one of the best when it comes to instructing and teaching.
7:29 for the actual tips on how to throw putters
She’s a phenomenal teacher and player.
I love how happy Paige looks watching these things fly. That's the reason we're all in this sport, just watching these plastic circles soar.
The Fierce has become my primary putter, and judging by how the cryztal flies it might well replace my proxy too!
Kyle Parker she needs a only fans account
The dream is being SO consistent, that you can deep dive into the difference in these disc's and plastics. Paige is dialed into 11 even when chillin. So cool to watch the consistency
Great instructional video-one of the best I’ve seen and it’s an elevation of FPO player content in general. Valuable info no matter what brand you throw. Love the idea of throwing the different putters in different ways. Really detailed descriptions but also concise. More for sure. Maybe do a similar video with your mids?
You must watch Peter McKinnon, loved the transition at the begining!
nordleberry i thought i was the only one who would think that was super smooth
Throwing putters is what I look forward to the most in the course so fun watching them fly
Your excitement is so contagious!! I could watch you play disc golf all day!
been playing for 14 years just got a cryztal fierce and it is the best throwing putter I’ve ever thrown awesome disc can’t believe it took me this long to try it
Refreshing to listen to Paige explain things like this!
Paige- this was one of the best description (about the disc) / instruction (how to throw the disc) videos I have seen. Maybe THE best. You are skilled at clearly and concisely describing important characteristics of the disc and how it flies. I'll add that you are also excellent at actually showing us how to throw, but that's of course not a surprise. All together, this was a very well done!!
Thanks for showing us and giving us tips, Paige!!
Love the details of your thought process and the demonstration of the various disc's flight paths
#FiercePierce honestly keeping nose up when throwing putter is my favorite tip. Makes so much sense and I never knew to do that
Thanks for the great tips about upper / lower body speed. Super useful!
Amazing video Paige! You are so comfortable in front of the camera and I really enjoyed seeing how excited you were about the new Crystal Fierce!
She explains everything so well, it’s insanely helpful
I love it when pros let us amateurs into their heads, it's so incredibly helpful. You're doing that amazing well! Most appreciated!
Your enthusiasm for the game is infectious! Thanks for doing this.
Love your energy, Paige!
Love her personality. Such a free spirit. YOU GO GURLLL!
Her Energy is Contagious 🌀
The camera movement at the start caught me off guard haha. Love it!!
I love tour lessons Paige. I also really love that keen towel.
Very cool insights into how to throw those discs, AND what they do as they leave your hand and during their flight. Great info Paige!!!
Thanks Paige, everything you said in this video I will practice and adopt because it just Resonates!
🔴⚪️🥏😷🙏🏻
Seriously great tips! I really love the passion and enthusiasm you have for the sport, it's refreshing and inspiring. Great video! (:
Sorry to be that one person but that little "no problem" dance might be the cutest thing I've seen today.
That said I really need to start practicing throwing putters more often for other shots than just putts.
I think it might be cause I don't like how it feels gripping putters (and most mid-ranges) when using other grips than the basic fangrip I use for putting. Most comfortable in my hand is fairway drivers and the slower distance drivers.
Thanks Paige! Absolutely great tips! Might have to go out and get a Fierce!
Thank you very much Paige, you are an awesome teacher and player.
Only thing better then your tips is your enthusiasm.
Love the content Paige! Keep it up, and thanks for the tips on throwing putters :)
Excellent attention to detail, hows-and-whys.
You have great energy plus your a good teacher..thank you
You are one of the best throwing teachers I’ve seen on CZcams. You break down the throws really well and what little things people may be doing wrong. On that Brodie smith video the helping his wife throw backhand better. The tip with the hips has helped me a lot. Thank you
You do make it look easy. I have got to start to throw putters aswell.
Thanks for the advice!
Keeping it fun, Paige. Thanks!
Great lesson!
Seriously good tips at the end of this, thanks.
Dam great advice. About every tip about throwing a putter I can think of. My freestyle discs, my Glitch, my Berg also require their own touch.
Old video, I know, been outta the disc game for 3 years, tossed a round yesterday. Sooo many form flaws. Decided to do some exclusive putter stuff for a few months to get back into proper form. Thanks for the video Paige
This is one of the best disc golf videos on CZcams... Super fun to watch and the camera Girl rocks!... I'm throwing my putters today 👍🤜
your enthusiasm and ability to communicate are as impressive as your disc skills -- thank you!
Awesome Paige thank you 🤙🏼
Great video Paige...More like this please
We played some disc golf together inside the baseball stadium in Clearwater, been a big fan ever since. The Crystal Fierce is exactly what im looking for in a throwing putter, thanks for the demo. Keep up the good work.
You rock Paige. Great content!
Great video thank you. Please make more!
This video totally sold me on the cryztal fierce gonna go buy one right now
Thank you for the video on throwing putters.
That property is super ballin'
Great video Paige!
Banger Gt's are literally the best throwing putter. So happy you throw them!!
Your videos are looking amazing Paige !
Nice video, very helpful!
Paige, love your videos, they are so usefull! I'm almost 60 and have been disc golfing (poorly) since the mid 80s.
I want to get serious about my distance (who doesn't), and have recently discovered if I back off and don't "give it all the groceries" I throw much farther.
Could you do a video on ways to constructively power up your throws, without sacrificing everything you're trying to gain?
IOW, how would you instruct a novice (I'm pretty sure I need to re-invent my throw) on how to go from baby steps to max distance.
One day, I hope to throw like a girl!😀
Great video Paige.
Great work thanks for tips
Paige, your tips at the end were invaluable. I have not thrown putters much because as a newbie, I have not really known what I should be doing with them, other than putting. I have a Innova Colt and Innova Dart I think I want to use now for other than putting :)
Dynamite fierce Pierce! Putting the fierce on my to buy list.
#fiercepierce! I was glad to learn from you to throw softly. I always try to smash on a huge hyzer flip, but letting it go soft and smooth might help me avoid flipping putters over as much! And getting the glide from nose up will be awesome. Thanks for the tips and being an awesome role models for us!
Thanks for the awesome advice paige! I always watch w my 4 yo daughter, she is all about the side pony, now! Lol. Served daily
Thanks for the great videos Paige! I’d like to see a video with tips for keeping footing and clean release in the rain, since you’re having to deal with it anyways right now.
4:06 that R2-D2 whistle thoughh. I love this woman. 🥏
Pierce! Good balance between thought and 🤩
Thought and fun 🤩
Her enthusiasm is infectious.
thanks pierce, you are awsome!
I absolutely love her. I believe she's one of the best of all not not just FPO but in all of disc golf MPO included.

That whistle at 4:06 is my jam!
Well I guess I will be ordering a few of these hahahah. I love the OG fierce they are very consistent for putting.
Cryztal Fierce is the first putter I can tee off with that is “ace-contender” material. If powered up on a flat throw, it takes a soft and consistent 20 degree anhyzer that just glides forever. This is a very different flight than the regular Fierce’s. I love it.
All I have been doing for the past 3 weeks is launching some new putters that I bought from different manufacturers. Your disc looks like it is fun to work with. I might have to grab one and try it out.
damn paige, this is easiest the best sales pitch i've seen for a disc, plus it's compared with what you bagged before, side by side. awesome vid
CryZtal Fierces are a thing of beauty
Slow is smooth, smooth is far. Still the best piece of advice I've heard so far, but there's ALWAYS more to learn and practice, just like the nose up putter throwing. I never considered that and it makes perfect sense. #FiercePierce
Great video. Thanks for posting it. Side note: extremely cool dog. 👍
Eyy. I really enjoy the Banger gt! I haven't heard anyone mention them until someone let me throw one about a month ago
I like this kind of practice
How does your grip change when throwing a putter vs putting vs throwing a mid?
Greatings from switzerland 🇨🇭
New fan here! Way to go Paige!! =)
That intro was so cool! :D
BRAVO
Thank you!!!!!
drifting putters most beautiful thing in disc golf. wish I could do it lol.
Great stuff. Looks like you could shoot some low ceiling middle range approach shots.
I would love to see a video of you talking about the new discs you plan on coming out with, similar to the one y pi u did on the fierce 😁😁😁😁
Fan grip all day! I love throwing putters.
#FiercePierce I haven’t thought about throwing the putters slightly nose up. I will have to try that in the field tomorrow!
The fierce flies like the discmania sensei
this is a great video
Omg that place is beautiful o-o
Best tip I've ever gotten was to adjust my grip so I wasn't throwing nose up. Changed everything and added a ton of distance. See ya next time Paige! #FiercePierce
It's also a valuable skill to have in real golf. A good putter throw helps relieve stress when the round is going south and the ball isn't listening.
Always be smooth. Don't overpower putters. Use the glide for distance and keep the nose angle slightly nose up! Great vid, PP! See you and AV soon! #FiercePierce
