To all you golfers, I started a variation of this drill (no tees and 6 balls), my score dropped and my confidence with the putter went through the roof. This one works.
@@mooseclappin11 I also have a weird mix. Cricket a left bat but right bowl. Golf was left as a kid just like cricket but I learnt to swing right but still putt left 😂😂
I actually tried this, there was just me and one other guy on the practice green, there are 3 holes on the PG so I wasn't inconveniencing anyone but people were looking like, how dare him. No one said anything to me tho..lol
This is just superb, I've been looking for "fix golf swing" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Graysonyon Putter Prolific - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work buddy got great success with it.
I have an easy three step solution... Practice, practice, practice. Putting should be the easiest part of the game. It does not take a lot of strength, like being a long driver. It has the shortest swing in the game.
@@jamesscully6687 Ahhh... the 300 pound gorilla... who putts just like he drives... LOL... 300 yards... straight down the middle... I think a lot of people do not putt well, because they do not practice.
Pfsif drive it out of bounds then you don’t have to putt for dough, just put a wipe down on your scorecard. You can’t have one without the other. Good putting does help tho.
This is one of the best golf videos I have ever seen. I hope Phil can release more and more videos like this, he seems to be the best in terms of making you feel like you’re one on one with him.
The best advice I ever gave someone was a beginning golfer, a woman about 40. She struggled terribly on the course. Then on the 8th hole she hit a good Tee-shot. At the ball she got excited about the possibility of finally making her first par. We decided on a 5 iron. Somehow she it it about 9 feet from the hole and her excitement was over-flowing. My advice was this: "You need to accept that you cannot MAKE the ball go into the hole. A lot of factors. However you can make yourself assess the line and the slope. Decide on the path of the ball. Take a few strokes consistent with that plan. And MAKE yourself attempt to execute that plan. She made the putt and she is the only person I've known in 60+ years of playing that made a birdie before making a par. As the renowned psychiatrist from way back, Dr. M Scott Peck, said in his seminal book "The Road Less Traveled" - "At the root of all unhappiness is expectations." Remove the expectations of "making the putt" and you lower the anxiety.
One thing that helped me hole more putts was imparting top spin on the ball with the stroke, I used to hit my putts and the ball would skid a foot or so then roll end over end. When I started getting top spin from the get go the ball would seek the bottom of the hole more, even on off center of the hole.
Thank you, Phil. I needed this perspective. I’m a new golfer so I shouldn’t expect so much maybe but even though I’m able to hit the green on my first/second shot I’m still hitting bogey/double bogey because I can’t get a putt in for the life of me.
If you watch Phil perform this drill, when he says 25/75 he does that, but when he does not say that, he moves 25/50. Puts shorter than 4', require less follow thru. Longer puts require more take away than close puts. If 25/75 works for you for 100 out of 100, do not change a thing. But if you watch Phil's putter head movement during this drill, it is much closer to 25/50, when he is not instructing, just feeling the put.
So the goal is to get it within a six foot circle when chipping so as to have 3 foot or shorter putts. Phil mentioned a three foot circle, so the target is actually larger.
I use this concept but I don't eat up the whole green.....just in lines around the hole. 3-6-9 feet around the hole. Uphill, down hill, slider left and right....but I don't have all the tees out at once. Just use it in a straight line so only 3 tees at a time.
Great stuff. My grandpa has always loved golf and I would love to play a respectable game w him before he’s gone. I’m going to take these tips and hopefully give him a good match very soon. 👍😃
Wanting to die the ball into the hole from 3 feet is a little misleading. These guys hit the back of the hole on 3 footers, unless they are big sliders.
brilliant!....phil says get the ball closer to the hole!...now I know what ive been doing wrong all these years!....next week,..hitting the fairway!..lol,..
@@maxwellhowell OK thanks. I was trying to get my chips inside a 3 foot circle and was dismayed at how bad I was at it. Not that a 6 foot circle helped much. :-)
I dont understand.. So yeah he does a lot of the 3foot putts.. But what about the 4feet 5feet and 6feet tees? When does he do them in this putting drill? After he hit all the 3footers and then move up or ? Is this drill ONLY for 3foot?
Had a PGA pro said he hit 30 30 footers in a row... I didn't believe it at first, he told me to try it, so i rolled 1001 balls a day, built a 12' putting green in my apartment, used tee gates a lot and practiced 2-3 hrs a day at the practice green... after 5 -6 weeks, rolling about my 800th ball finally got 30 for 30, and continued to a grand total of 33... if he told me it was 50 in a row I would still be on that putting green today, and I never told him i broke his personal record cause I didn't want to hurt his Mcfeelings, great inspiration tho Dirty dozen clock drill is two thumbs up
On a 10 foot putt if the face angle is off 1° you will miss it. The further you get away and you make one, it was a stroke of luck! I broke the rules with Arrowhead Putters with adjustable physics and dynamics. Oddly I putt better with a 4° rear pressed shaft angle, and the face angle is still -2
The number one putting problem of even good players, is that they take the putter back too far, and they have to decelerate through the stroke. Short backswing with light grip pressure is great advice.
