Nikko's putt at ~ 1:30 is the kind of putt im talking about when i mean a jump straddle. but i looked at this a couple times and it looks like to me that Nikko is leaving the ground with his left foot before he lets go of the disc... what do you think?

Xander, it looks to me like you may be correct. It looks like Nikko leverages his right foot for the jump. He shifts his weight to his right foot and then lifts his left foot and jumps from the right. Having the advantage of video makes it easier to analyze this but if you watch it for the first time it may be hard to make the call in real time and get a second. I would say that it would be better to not practice these types of putts as the more it gets analyzed the more likely people will question the putt.
