i know my jump putts are fine. but again, like Dan said, I would not call a foot fault on a jump putt. now inside the circle, if he crosses his mini before the disc is in the basket, heck yea I would call that. but jump putts, like Damon said, no advantage to being off the ground and releasing the disc.  I just came from the backyard trying it, and no one that jump putts would benifit any way by being airborne when they let go of the disc. it is very awkward!

So you would call a non-rule?

803.04 Stance, Subsequent to Teeing Off




C. Any throw from within 10 meters or less, as measured from the rear of the marker disc
to the base of the hole, is considered a putt. A follow-through after a putt that causes the
thrower to make any supporting point contact closer to the hole than the rear edge of the
marker disc constitutes a falling putt and is considered a stance violation . The player must demonstrate full
control of balance before advancing toward the hole.





looks like it's still a rule to me??

Strictly speaking, not the same thing, which I think is Mike's point. You could 'demonstrate balance', then advance toward the hole while the disc is in the air, although if it's a short putt that'd be difficult. More likely, you might putt, hit the chains and then step forward *without* demonstrating balance, which is illegal.

Not to get things back on track or anything, but here's a link to the final story in this year's Am Nats series:

Ben Callaway brings home the title after being challenged by the others on his card and one of the fellows of the 2nd card.

Thanks for watching.  Bye-bye Toboggan, until next year.
