Having good balance is the key to putting accurately. Although you don't move your feet as you do with so many a windup, generally there is significant shifting of body weight in order to propel the disc forcefully. Remember that solid putting mostly comes down to smooth arm and wrist motion. Your center of gravity has a lot to do with getting your putter successfully across the distance between you and the basket. If you think of your belly button as the spot from which all action, it's easy to understand.

As your center of gravity points directly at the hole, at least with the straddle and foot-forward techniques, your body weight will naturally shift toward it as you rock forward to the point of disc release. What enables you to do this is exert less effort to get the disc across the distance needed to hit the hole. I do mean "rock" and not step forward. It is against regulation to step past the putting position until the disc has gone to where it is going. Stepping forward indicates that you lost control of the putt, and stepping over the lie is called a "falling putt". for which you will be penalized.

FOCUS

Focus is everything with a sure putt. I don't mean just clearing your mind of the distractions around you- the silent, willful stares of the other players, and not necessarily in your favor, the smack of trees being walloped elsewhere on the the course, the distant cries of "Fore!" or worse. I mean finding a place on the pin on which to focus your eyes, and not taking your eyes off that spot. That is your target. A specific chain link is a good target, as is just off-center of the red strip of tape marking the middle of the pin amid the chains. Focusing off center is extremely important.

When tossing a putt the disc will hit the chains and kick in the opposite direction of it's rotation. What this means for a right hander is that a disc that hits the chains on the left side of the pin will often kick out to the left and miss the basket below. Likewise, a left hander's disc that strikes chain on the right side of the pin will kick right and out. The thing to do is focus on the same side of the pin as your throwing arm so that the disc's kick will be into the chains, which will serve to stop it's flight path, ensnare the disc, and drop it into the basket. It never hurts to put a little anhyzer on your disc as well, so that it curves in the direction of your throwing arm.

WATCH THE WIND

Seriously consider the wind every time you set up to putt. Even the slightest breeze can adversely affect the flight path of a disc. For instance, when throwing into the wind the disc will lift above its intended trajectory and travel much higher and farther than you intend: when releasing with the wind behind you, the disc will be pushed downward from your release point and inevitably fall short of the intended trajectory. Couple this with the fact that every type of disc handles wind situations differently, most notably the Blow Fly which has a concave belly making it especially susceptible to breeze influence, resulting in erratic, highly unpredictable behavior, and you've got a challenge.

To judge the wind direction, snatch up a handful of grassy bits and drop them into the air. If it's especially breezy and you are putting into the wind, putt hard and straight at the middle of the chains. Otherwise, the disc will lift over the top of the basket. Many pro-standard courses have pin holes with flags attached to the top that can also help you judge wind direction.

If you are putting with the wind behind you, compensate by putting high, at or over the top of the basket, depending on wind velocity. The disc will drop abruptly at some point between you and the hole. If the wind is coming at you from the side, slightly tilt the top-side of the disc into the wind and compensate by playing the arc of the disc's flight path or tossing straight and hard to cut through the wind. Slanting the disc toward the wind will result in its being carried away.
