As a player who stopped jump putting I fully endorse this change.

@casinicho

The only people upset by the proposal are those misusing the current allowance.

@putterparker

Excited to see the rule change. Curious if it will hold up or if it will be modified 2026. More people will be spin-putting from range now I would imagine. Ohn Scoggins will clean house next year. 😀

@tattooedjohnson

FINALLY CHANGE THE DAVID FELDBERG RULE!

@TylerBrand_DG

I love the proposed rule change! I'm nowhere near a pro and have no problem stand stilling a 65-footer

@Katiem1234

This is stupid. inside the circle feet flat. anywhere else players should be able to use larger muscle groups (legs) and be able to follow through the momentum (step fwd) for injury prevention. If you need to approach in c2 with a fh or bh you still need to be able to follow through and step. Honestly jump putting and step putting should become more lax where release needs to be before feet touch ground past mini marker. that way you can have full power transfer through your jump.

@frankiewawa

Glad I adopted a strong spin putt when i started playing. I always thought it was funny, those players that are desperate to be just outside of c1 just to jump putt. seems like a crutch but w/e

@garylefebvre1565

I agree with the no step putt rule, people can learn how to putt without stepping over their disc, thats the rule for every other shot you take, so why do people think it's OK when your that close to the basket.  Jump putters are a problem

@Chris.Davies

Dumb suggestion from Bjerkaas..
That simply moves illegal putts out to 20+, instead of 10+.
This doesn't solve the problem - and very obviously so.
Also, a 20m circle has a circumference of 125-metres compared to 63-metres. Who's gonna mark out a circle that large? It's bad enough marking out 10m circles for an event!

@tomfenter2566

Its so hard to stand still putt from 66' or 20 meters. I think this will take a lot of the fun out of the game as putting will now be too hard. I could see the pro tour going to this but all sanctioned events is so dumb to me. Why do they just assume doubling it. What the stats there. Basketball didn't extend the 3point line by a factor of 2. Just seems like a lame excuse to not fix the rule that is in place. like say one foot must stay on the ground at all times or something along those lines.

@Peg_Leg9n

2:16 here’s what I have to say about the putting there is a way to standardize baskets and make putting more difficult at the same time which would negate the whole circle change in my opinion and that is make the pro tour play on marksmanship baskets 💯🤷‍♂️

@charlesbolstridge3871

Do you guys see that GK put out an announcement that they're starting their own tour

@DolphaysDiscGolf

Why don’t they fix their crappy scoring app instead of deciding to reinvent the wheel on C2 putts?

@nicholasmoreno7904

Jump putt needs to go. Step putt is okay as long as the foot behind the marker is still touching the ground before the disc is released.

@dustinroberson1865

As a non jump putter, I never had a problem with someone jump putting. Step putting is the worst though, Literally putting your self a step closer to the basket and barely releasing the disc before touching the ground. Kristin's jump putts last year were a bit sketchy as well. I think those that jump putted properly, it wasn't an issue, but too many people were trying to stretch the rule and utilize the jump putt as a way to just be as close to the basket as possible. I think just getting rid of it is the safest thing

My question, are we going to need to keep balance after any putt in circle 2 now, or are the rules going to allow walking in after a putt as long as both legs were behind the spot pre release?

@Holdsworthy

Some of the pro players have had their prime. It is understandable to get of tour if you can’t succeed. And the next gen just keeps getting better.

@harleybk3

Rule change?  Heck, I’m still waiting for the existing rule of time limit to be consistently called and enforced.  Maybe I’ve watched too many other professional sports that have time rules (eg NBA 24 second clock) and as a result I have unrealistic expectations that “professional” and “rule violations have actual consequences” should go hand in hand.

@dirtbag.discgolf

Figured it out: create a rule that a TD may (with a waiver from PDGA) set the "putting circle/area" as it sees fit for each hole. This would allow Tour & high-level events to adpot this & challenge their players appropriately, while not forcing any change down the ladder for players & TDs that just don't have any reason to change from what things are now.

@Arctic3OD

I don't think a 20m circle is gonna work at all competitive levels. I think the best options are
1) 15 meters for all PDGA-events
2) 20m for pro MPO, 15m for pro FPO & ama MPO, 10m for ama FPO and age restricted divisions

@ctb297

imo. the teeing area should be the only areas that you are not required to maintain balance behind the lie. Just like a tee in golf.
