I was a horrible short putter all of my life. I finally went to a wristy released stroke. Made all the difference in the world. A putter riding in it's own momentum has less propensity to twist. You have to give up control of the putter in order to get control of the putter. In the wristy stroke you are taking yourself out of the putt. This is why pros today move all over the place and get by with it. May even help. Listen to Crenshaw. He knew. And Tiger praises his son for doing the same thing especially under pressure. Practice Tigers right hand only drill. That helps get the hang of it too.
do you have tips to keep the backstroke from wobbling I guess, for me at least it just doesn't feel like its going back "straight" but instead jumps around, up and down. Keeps consistency from my putts and hence struggle with "longer" puts without a slope
Nicklaus says in his autobiography that he started with an all-wristy stroke, then went to a stiff wristed stroke, and then used a combination stroke for better feel. Seve said for short putts he went stiff-wristed and straight-straight path, but for longer putts he used a combo stroke and a more circular path.
This is a brilliant tip. Tried it yesterday and made 2 birdies. Thank you Brad. I’ve been looking for an away to fix this for years. I even use it with my close in chip shots. .
Not sure what to say here other than only a couple of these are actually true logos. Most of these are just small illustrations used as a logo. The closest example cited would be the branding iron SH.
That's the grip I use too, feels natural. If more time was accepted on the greens, 90% of amateurs would putt better. How often do you see us amateurs take our putt within 30 seconds of cleaning the ball. We all feel a time pressure to not delay the next group coming behind. We miss more putts, we leave long putts horribly short or 10 foot past. Extra 10 shots per round because of rushing. Food for thought.......
To be fair to Gary, at his age (85 there), his elbow pain has to be considered. Gary Player at Rory's age - pretty sure he would be banging them out in good form... this dude was a champ athlete never forget that. Most 85 year olds could even do 3 like he was doing
For 99% of amateur players, this “tip” will serve only to encourage them to decelerate into impact. It’s not about the putter head traveling less forward than it does going back; it’s about letting the putter swing freely on the way down and losing energy (that would have otherwise carried the head farther forward) by running into the ball. Do the latter and you’ll accomplish the former.
Well, how do you control the free-flowing clibhead through the ball? As in, how do you keeo it square? This is the answer that almost nobody can answer. How do you stop yourself from wiping it (block) or coming across the ball (pull)?
How do you, also, control exactly when your club releases through the ball? How do you keep it square? These all need to be included in the video, to back up your claim!
This video is one of the best golf instruction videos , ever !!! The explanation and demonstration is very precise, clear, and extremely helpful. There are hundreds of useless golf videos.. NOT this one. Faxon hits a home run from this video !! 👍👍👍
I gotta go get my putter outta my car trunk and come back and hold my putter and watch this video at least 5 more times to get everything in my hard head.
