It's Really Easy to Putt Better than 99% of Golfers 

DANG! There was an "AHA!" moment for me in this video. I stopped using the alignment line on my ball because, as you say, it never looked right when I was over the putt; I just didn't trust it. It didn't occur to me that it WAS right, but that it just didn't look right because of where my eyes were in my stance.

One of your all time finest performances. Great great video.

This was an excellent video. When you realized the adjustment to the putter angle to the forearm was exactly opposite of what the instructor was seeing? BANG! Purple dust exploded from my head. I checked myself, used my phone to video my setup. Guilty. Putted for a bit in my living room at a dime. Vastly improved. Will be hitting the putting green soon to exercise some demons out of my putting.

You are a guru now. I love your videos so much. I have improved so much and don't feel like a dumb ass just wacking balls all over the place. For course management and putting, I look nowhere else but to my baus's channel. Thank you!!!

Great video. Padraig Harrington had a great tip about big breaking putts. Given both putts hit the same, a putt missed on the low side will finish 3x as far away as a putt missed on the high side. Mattie, the putter in chief!

Bro the formula one reference went dark fast ngl 💀 in all seriousness this video was such a good one. I think you’re really helping us amateurs and also a lot of youths get the right way of thinking down. Bought the golf is not a game of perfect because of you. Thanks for all the great videos.

Asked about a putting video a few weeks ago and here it is! Thanks Boom Boom. The greens will be my kingdom after implementing this!

By far my favorite golfing youtuber.

I love your videos because you are the only golf professional who talks about ways of improving the mental and psychological elements of the game. You can have the best swing in the world, but without the mindset and focus, golf rounds can go south very quickly. Thanks again.

Awesome video! I 100% agree about the mental video of making the putt. The days I really focus on that 'video' are the days I can't miss. For anyone still reading, I took a putting lesson a year ago and found out the hard way that people see the line differently in their minds. Some people see a straight line to a target point that the ball falls off of, and others see a curved line that the ball follows all the way to the hole. Figure out which mental image you have and focus on it. It was another game changer for me.

Thanks man, not only great advice but you have ignited my love of golf again,seeing it from a different angle, thanks legend

Great video, lots of practical tips. Thank you.

“Bulee dat.” LFG!!! 💯🤣

Simply perfect ! Thx Matt !

I've always struggled with seeing the break differently once I stand over the ball. This video has me feeling more confidential already.

So much great stuff in this video Matt, thanks.

This info is SO right on correct, much of what I have been doing, but always can improve. Great !

Great video. From Bob Rotella’s books I also like to pick a very small target within the hole, like a particular blade of grass. Somehow makes you feel like you can’t miss, and you start putting like a Baus 😎

Great video Matt. Thanks

Great video, really helped me feel confidential over the putter

Very helpful video sir I appreciate your dedication to helping us improve

Second time watching this. Best putting advice I have come across. Tried out some points yesterday and quickly seen great results. Brilliant.

Alright!!! You heard my plea!! Thanks GS!!!

Greatest golf vids on the tubes.

Best advice iv ever been given on RU-vid

Thx. Shaved 6 putts in 9 holes today. You have helped me enjoy golf, have realistic expectations and get better.

best putting video i've seen!

A really good very informative video Matty. I got the audio book Bob Rotella, putting out of your mind and immediately improved my putting along with hours of 1 foot 3 foot and distance to the T peg all as recommended by yourself. You have improved my game 100% waddaplaya waddachannel thanks 🙏

Great tips those clearly explained, thanks 👍

Love Matty Boom Boom. Great stuff as always.

Wow. This is a great putting video. Watched so many. Now I know the line on my ball should look right…just adjust my eye position

Hello Matt. Again a game changing video. Masterclass. You really add value to the table. Money. 😊😊😊🇩🇪👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks Matt, Love all your videos. Particularly your enforcement of the mental game and understanding your own limitations. I consider myself a pretty good putter and short game player but this video has really opened my eyes to a few things. One of the reasons my short play is good is I don't hit the ball far, so not only do I practice it, I get to put that practice into play regularly. I am often asked how can I have that short game as a 17 marker and my reply is always "because I don't hit a lot of greens in regulation". Thanks again Matt, learning heaps.

Nice work. 🎉

Good stuff, as usual.

Matty boy! shot an 86 today with 6 3 putts. I've learned a lot from your videos and your approach to the game. I'm hitting confidential shots instead of hopeful ones! Thanks again!

Let's go Matty!!

Probably the greatest video on putting I've ever seen!

thanks for the video! my puting has been something i need to work on

Great info sir

New Golfer here, really appreciate your videos, insight, and humor! I feel like I'm learning a lot here and I see it translating well. Got a sub out of me, believe dat.

My first comment, although I have watched many of your videos... You are dead on correct with this. The beauty of finding how your eyes have to be for YOU to see correctly with a putter stroke...will also carry through to alignment for every other club in the bag.

Thanks mate, I finally broke 80 today because of you. You are a bawsss

Fantastic video 😊😊

Straight confidential putting from now on

Best improvement I had in putting was applying a Luke Donald tip I saw where he said visualize staring into a mirror under the ball and still be staring in to your eyes AFTER the stroke. Absolutely sends the ball out on the correct line every single time (assuming you have read it correctly!!!) Also I just happened to see a bit of PGA coverage and the anchor was talking about a lad on the practicing with a kettle-bell posture. I gave it a try for a laugh and I must say it keeps you rock solid over putts!!!

Great video.

Something I learnt recently through trial and error. If the angle in your trail wrist alters during the stroke, even slightly, from address position, the putter face will open or close unless you make a compensating move. There are many ways to achieve this and it doesn't really matter how you achieve it but it's important.

I always said that Golf is a game of the mind and putting is the main reason.

Thanks playa

Yesterday was my first round ever with no three-putts. For me, once I found my line and got over the ball, the best thing was letting go and feeling super relaxed as my last step before making the swing.

Great video! I struggled on some hard fast greens yesterday. 37 putts in my rd yuck

Mattie a great vid!!! Just tried the forearm alignment!!! What a game changer! Thank you

I honestly believe if playas spent 1 solid hour a week putting, working on the 1-3 footers, and working a bit on the lags, doing what this video says, they will become good putters. My handicap is currently 33, and in July of last year, I was averaging 38-39 putts. But in the fall and winter, I put a few hours of putting practice in, and my stats on the SwingU app show me as a single digit (9hcp) putter. I average right at 35.5 putts per round, and I know I can get better! I did it by using these methods and mindsets, listening to Matt and Bob R, RESPECTING every single putt, and by believing that I am a good putter. I AM a good putter!

Feet comfortable and narrow stance. Check. Everything diagonal and go. Awesome 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 but was missing Left or right eye dominancy is a factor.

Ok reduced my expectations based on reality, taking a lesser club to stay in the middle and had best round ever yesterday. Of course it did help my driver was dead on, but I was hitting safer approach shots putting me in scoring position. thanks!

I can tell that dropping your hands a bit to allow the shaft to run through your forearm is still uncomfortable for you b/c you're drifting back up! ;-). but you were right, that was the single biggest improvement I made in my set up. such great tips from one of the best RU-vid golfers out there!

I copied Jack Nicklaus putting since he is one of the greatest putters of all time. Feet slightly open with one foot back, right arm low, eyes directly on top of the ball, piston-like stroke straight down the ball line to the hole. I don't know why more people don't putt like Jack.

The Head Playa & Dr. Rotella, Putting Gurus.

Who is the instructor that gave you that lesson on this video?

If there’s a stroke in golf that is improved by body stability it’d have to be the putt. Reliable distance control and direction control begs for a solid putting stance. Wonderful video; you ARE the best putter on RU-vid!

niggling injuries and a gnawing feeling of muscular imbalance (golf is such a one sided game) led me to switch to putting cack handed this year. Benefits are tremedous (a) when putting I can feel muscular tension dissolving - literally tension rippling away into the air...(b) and so I look forward to practicing and putting (c) bonus is total brain reset. Once I committed it only took 3 weeks to figure. Now locked in. No going back...

Wonderful. Most people would tell you just to pick a spot in between the hole and the ball and focus on that only while all I wanted to do is to imagine the film of the ball gloriously fall in the hole. Glad I am not the only one. have imagine crowds cheering. I used to even tip my cap at the imaginary crowd if I left a long one at tap in length. Does look stupid but it's a real positivity boost. Dr. Bob would approve I guess because I always putt to hole it. Ironically, I have more difficulty doing the same from 1-2 meters, which tends to feed my mind with negative thoughts. As one is statistically not really expected to make long putts often that makes it easier to "give it to the universe" so no negative thoughts there, if only I could copy that on shorter ones. And although I love my shot scope watch for many reasons, knowing that to make around 57% of these to go into the lower eighties I can only manage a measly 38% isn't helping to chase out negative thoughts, so thanks Sensei for the great tips for the shorter ones!

Great video Matty, I took your advise from an old video ref: Bob Rotella, putting out of your mind, there some great lessons in these books for all, and you adding these tips from Eric is fantastic, now!! I need to stick with the plan for a set period 6-7 months ,

After this video with all the strokes gained gonna make top 10 on MGS

Good stuff matty. I don’t use a line on my ball because I set up the putt with the line and check it “no that’s too far left” I move it a poofteenth right “no it’s right now” move it half a poofteenth it’s not right. All this takes too long and my brain isn’t convinced. I don’t know how people set a line from ball to hole and it’s right. Also your line is massive. Brad faxon says one single line with a normal sharpie. The bigger the line the more alignment issues like I have. If you have any tips to line it up in less than 3 attempts I’d love to hear them

Matty boom boom how did you know I’ve been working on 3-4 putts, like a tv show lost on the green

This is the video for putting! Watch this ten times and read (Putting out of your mind) ten times. Thats all you need.

Wow… eric impact golf kde💪

BRotella!!!! Amen!

The one foot putt drill is what I need, I’m terrible at dragging under three feet on occasion

"Putting is a combination of speed and line that is all" Is sorta similiar to what ive been told of. "you always have to strike a put straight, You never try to curve it. Thats the job of the green." I feel thats super beneficial to me as well to stop me from compensating for my vision. I happen to be left dominant as a righty, so for me im "ok" at gaging but the mind plays tricks on you. "Trust your aim, shoot it straight" And let the green do the rest. (gives you someone else to blame as well! ;D)

Eric is the Baus❤

Where do you get those drippy hats? Im just getting back into golf after a 4 year hiatus and i find your content very helpful. Appreciate it!

Is your back stroke on a slight arc? I was always under the impression the putting stroke was dead straight but now I think it's a slight arc, the angle of the putter to forearm is a great tip

Matt, regarding the 1ft putts, would you use the same hole and same location? or move round the putting green for different lies?

Great video...just wished youtube didnt need to run an advertisement every 60 seconds.

When are we getting love making lessons? These golfing videos are great and all, but I wanna be a confidential lover.

I have never set the line to the hole it never seems to my eyes correct.. I put the line 90° to the hole then I can have the blade of the putter and my stance set square to the line......been doing this for 50 years (before they put the line on the ball I used the writing) helps get you set up easier.

Great video as always. When you say "Eric moved my head and eyes to the left." Do you mean he moved it moved towards your lead side and not Eric's left? Thanks.

I think that the instruction of 60% weight on lead leg applies not just to putting but to all clubs

Finally broke below 36 putts per round. Had 34 putts total yesterday, shame about my irons being awful 😂

Am I weird for not lining up the lines on the ball with my read line? It tends to screw me up more. I prefer to stand over the ball and adjust, and I am lined up in accordance to the lines on the ball, I tend to second guess my adjustments.

Nothing is more revealing than revealing everything that there is to be revelation

The shaft thru the forearms is such a thing but feels weird at first

I really like this video… Although I’m not sure what he means by the word “confident”…. Maybe this plays means confidentiality

When you going to play against Grant Horvat or Micah Morris or the Good Good boys, it would be awesome to see your knowledge on display with them

where did that putting lesson happen? what course?

After 6 months of playing I finally got my first birdie and I was preaching all day the gospel Matty the Grand Mojodulah thanks Matty

You and Crossfield need to duel for the title of best putter.

You are Gary Playa

Any news about tee ski?

Shout out bob rotella

See it Be it

Hands still look a little upright bro😉

Misses on the Amateur side is a guaranteed miss, the Pro side at least gives you a chance to make a putt.

Belee Dat

miss high instead of low until you get the flow

yes. its a dark art reserved for maniacs. Thats us.

So... Wait. Are we saying always play more break?
