This may be the single best golf video on RU-vid! I have NEVER heard anyone describe long putting in this manner. That it's different than the normal putting stroke used inside X feet. It's more like a chipping motion. It's more about strike and distance control. Short and long, not left and right. As a 5 hcp golfer who tend to throw in 2-3 three putts a round, this is GOLD! I used this thought process and immediately started lagging 20-40 footers within a pace or two. GOLD! Pure gold. Thanks Mark!

@JTCSmith2305 3 года назад

That adapting to quicker greens by seeing it as a shorter put distance has blown my mind. So simple

Thank you Ray for being the testdummy for all us handicap golfers who sucks at shortgame!

@scotbaxter1579 3 года назад

I am high handicaper 26 atm. Generally have at least 2 3putts per round occasional 4 or worse. I would always rather be below the hole, more comfortable to me eye. I need to practice more. Thank You for the tips

So much value in this one. A series of lessons for Ray would be very entertaining and insightful

@larrym3280 3 года назад

I took a putting lesson for the first time in 50 years of golfing last season and it helped me out tremendously. Most golfers should take a putting lesson. Long putts of 40 to 50 feet are now part of my pre-round routine. Great video.

@Keynsham5 3 года назад

Such a simple video and feels like information I already knew however, never implemented in a round. Definitely going to use this when I play. Thanks for the continued reminder to simplify my game and to reevaluate how I get around a course!

@hammymufc 3 года назад

The tips on lag putting have really helped me. I used to line them up, like short putts. Stopped doing that now and focus more on getting it within 2 paces of the hole and focus on pace. Much improved! 👌🏼

@SolomonLi 3 года назад

I have to admit. I half expected Ray to take some divots when he went one handed. LOL. Totally opened my mind when comparing the ideas of chipping from off the green putting from that same distance off. So good bruh!

@nevillehubbard7347 3 года назад

Great points! Well done Ray, reasonable improvement and a course of action. I always try to leave a long putt below the hole to make the next putt easier. I tend to 3-putt twice a round (playing off 12) but the greens are small on the links where I play. I, therefore, have lots of putts from the fringe, which I don't count in the same way. Including them, I'll 3-putt a couple of times more!

@mattgardner2718 3 года назад

Really interesting. Tried cack-handed grip for a while but also struggled to hit it hard enough on long putts. Now use the Lockey prayer grip, definitely feel a bit more right hand on the long ones which seems to help. Always make a point of hitting a couple of putts the length of the practice green before teeing off, feels like recalibrating the computer a bit!

@huffdesigner 3 года назад

I have never thought of long putting like this at all! I have a good feel but this is something I can add to my game thanks so much!! I'm going to practice this. I love this concept!!

@chubbspetersonshand6496 3 года назад

What a great lesson on misconceptions around the green. we often forget that "lag" putting is really a smaller pitch or chip shot that just happens to be on the green. I try to take that mentality when hitting long putts of just get it close!

@seand8030 3 года назад

Great video, if you wanna get better you have to practice! It was awesome to see the lesson with an average player and what a treat that it was Ray! Thanks Ray! Would love to see more instruction videos with amateur golfers!

@michaelparsons541 3 года назад

You gotta go back and watch some of their course vlogs where Ray said he was playing at a 7, and then they showed a shot from Ray in the previous vlog where he hit the 2 feet behind the ball with his driver. I couldn’t stop laughing.

@jimfil5967 3 года назад

Helpful episode, thx

@CosmicApe 3 года назад

Most people just have no imagination or clue about how a ball actually rolls on a putting surface. I believe that I am a good pace putter because I can see and feel the weight of a golf ball in my mind's eye and how it reacts to the putting surface, hills, slopes, etc. of a green. I can see how a golf ball rolls exactly in my mind and then I just let that feel take over. I never think about "I need to hit this 20, 30, 40 feet". I just look where I want the ball to go and sort of "feel" the putt. Just the same way is if I were to toss someone a baseball across the room. I would never think about exactly how far away they are or anything, I'd just naturally get up and toss them the ball.

@alanking5001 3 года назад

Just what i needed that , I really struggle with 3 putting , going to try this thankyou 👍

@mrwoo33 3 года назад

Pace putting is the best part of my game, even from fringes and fairways due to being a hopeless Chipper. Was interesting to hear you say " launching it". That's something I really try, stroking it on the up to stop the initial skidding

@markpitman4618 3 года назад

Really helpful lesson Mark. I'm a high handicapper & regularly 3 putt. During the last lockdown i practiced a lot from 6 feet with the putt out aid & it's helped massively...still can't read a green for toffee though. Would be good to see how you go about that too

@michaelparsons541 3 года назад

I don’t know how many times Tiger Woods ran into this long putt problem, but he did say in his book “How I Play Golf” that he sets up the putter head about 4 inches behind the ball on long putts. And I can tell you that it works great.

@jeffbates5401 3 года назад

@alisonburgess345 2 года назад

Coincidentally, i did some long putting practice yesterday and was shocked at how bad I was... It's on the agenda now - every week without fail. Thanks guys.

@wolfyand1 3 года назад

Great video Mark. I have noticed very recently that I was trying to be too rigid across all my putting which lead to my hands getting high and standing too far away from the ball. I pulled out my putting mirror and have been trying to feel what i was doing earlier. Putting is one of the stronger parts of my game, but I three putt once ever 51.6 holes according to ShotScope. It would be great to iradicate it completely.

@andyf5232 3 года назад

I watched this last night and then played today. 15 mins practice on the putting green had something to do with it too... But I didn't three putt once today. 30 putts... Very happy with that! Especially with my dodgy approach shots! 50 foot putts on every hole! 🤣

I really like the idea of using another, more full swing, style grip. Gonna try that!

@geoffontour2716 3 года назад

I'm at 16 holes per 3 putt on Shotscope - still too many for a single digit h'cap & will certainly practice long putts more after watching this - Dave Pelz was a big fan of what he called a "Chiputt" from over 40/50ish feet to allow a freer stroke from a slightly different set-up much as Mark describes. Good stuff...

@julianaustin40 3 года назад

I have also struggled with putting yips and tried every style of grips going. I have just moved to holding putter same as my irons, so more through the fingers than palms. I'm less rigid and now release the putter or 'wristy' stroke on all short and long putts. I have never putted so well as I do now. Flicky wrists goes against everything you are taught or read but I now have feeling back.

@alanvesey3205 3 года назад

Great putting lesson Mark. Would love to see more tips on how to play links golf.

@guyworkman3110 3 года назад

When I'm on the practice green before the round I always start with 25 - 30 foot putts (if there is room) to get a feel for the speed. Practice the short putts when I'm cleaning up after the long ones.

@jamessayers5903 3 года назад

Great insight into lag putting. As a higher handicapper what distance should I change from lagging it close to trying to make the putt?

@DH-tp9ns 2 года назад

My goal is 36 putts per round. As long as I net 36 I feel that I had a good round. With a course with very fast cheeky greens I allow for a few more 3 putts as I feel that is inevitable. As you said, get the iron dispersion dialed in or start chipping better helps the net putting totals. A couple of good chips and I'm 1 putting quite easily. The short game is in itself it's own game.

@antondzurej832 3 года назад

So sensible advice :-) I have got 0-2 3 putts per round.

@PianoJazz7 3 года назад

8 iron, slightly open stance - works for me! hit clean ball like a putter so no damage to the green.

@adranja 3 года назад

Great video! I needed this video a couple of weeks ago. I'd rate my putting around 4 - 6.. not horrid but certainly not my strongest aspect. Thanks to strokes gained I have a more realistic view of long putts now. I just want to get within a 3ft circle of the hole. Above or below I don't care too much about really b/c my putting isn't good enough to worry about that (Just like Ray). I never considered changing my grip for long putts as I putt like Ray as well (left hand low) and my hands have been trained to only grab the putter one way. Loved this stuff. Can't wait to try it out. Come on Ray aka #BulletBalls you gotta practice mate. 20-30 mins/day on something different.. could keep you interested.

@richardebourne6332 3 года назад

I love putting. For longer putts i tend to keep my glove on to trick myself into thinking about more speed. It's the better part of my game but on a bad day I'll still 3 putt 2/3 holes per round so this is food for thought

@wallstreetoneil 3 года назад

Mark, I'm a good long putter and we have similar feels ideas in what we do. For long puts, I have an open stance, feet together and I feel I'm just rolling the ball up to the hole - I don't focus at all on line or technique - it's just about pace. Once I get inside 10 feet, I then stand square, use the line on the ball and focus on my putting technique. Long putts in my mind are not putts at all - they are their own category - I even feel, and have, hit them looking at the hole and not down at the ball.

@drroger98 3 года назад

@seancook2264 3 года назад

I worked on my putting during lockdown, mostly in terms of routine and approach. Went 54 holes without a three putt and in 5 rounds so far have seen my strokes gained for putting go from -4.5 to -0.69.....my medal scores have improved yet my strokes gained on approach play has more or less stayed as was....

@raymondgreens5010 3 года назад

Lol How did you know I was 3 putting Thanks again as always

@barryemery16 3 года назад

This is a lesson I really need. Ok, actually not so much on the longer putts, it’s the annoying 4 to 6 ft with pin in that is a problem for me. The other annoying thing is the practice putting greens at home course don’t have pins in at the moment so difficult to actually practice them, occasionally I will go out on course and practice a bit but still really struggle with pin in from short distance. I will sometimes turn up with not much time to hit the range prior to going out but will always visit the practice green after getting caught out in a big comp at St Andrew’s Bay, they were Masters quick. Gave me the yips for about 4 or 5 years, I could 3 put from 12”.

@patmonahan1 3 года назад

I use a broomstick putter and it really helps my long putts. If I didn’t have a longer putter I would consider using my hybrid to putt on anything that long.

@nceebee6859 3 года назад

I frequently visit a golf academy for practice. It’s amazing how often the swinging bays (40 bays?) and coaching bays are full, yet I often find myself alone on the putting green. It blows my mind. P.s I’m an average putter

@erikqualben4397 Год назад

Just tried the ten finger grip while practicing my lag putting. Thanks for the tip! One question, where should ball position be/what should the basic setup be for long putts w/ten finger grip. Maybe a quick video on Twitter, please?

@johnhighland2260 3 года назад

I use a thought of dart board forget line as much but see a dart board and think of getting into that area

@lukeedwards3980 3 года назад

Love the content as usual. I know for certain that I am a better golfer thanks to watching your channel, always learn so much... this might be a stupid comment/question... With this video, do you think he just improved because he had 9 goes at the same putt, albeit with different grips/techniques... so essentially he had 6 practice putts before the new grip/technique was used... I guess what I’m wondering is, if you did the same video, but reversed the order of grips/techniques, would the results be similar after 9 shots just because of the “6 practice shots”.... If he did the final 3 putts left handed at the end, he’d probably do alright after practicing the weight 6 times right handed already? ... maybe?

@aaronmccardie8795 3 года назад

I find I use a bit of body motion on long putts ,more static on putts 20 feet or less that's how I was taught and that works for me just fine. The best practice tip I was given was to practice with my eyes closed long and short putts.

@seancook2264 3 года назад

I spend a little time probably the first 5 mins on the putting green doing long putts before every round. Then move to holing a dozen 3-6 footers in a bow tie drill before heading to the 1st Tee 👍🏼

@bgolf 3 года назад

Guilty of applying a putting stroke for long putts, will try it out.

I practice long putting every chance I get when on the golf course , since the best I can do at home is about 8 or 9 feet because of wanting to know the kind of pace needed to get to the hole.

@allenwood5411 3 года назад

I definitely 3-putt way too much. Shot Scope says every 3.4 holes. Yikes! And I 2-putt 59%of the time. I could be a single digit handicap if I just learned to putt! 😃 I needed this video, Mark. Cheers 🍻

@antonphipps1354 3 года назад

Mark, if you leave your long putt short to lesson the difficulty of the return downhill putt, does it not blow the theory of "never up, never in"..🤔🤔? For me, getting a good feel & weight, and the ball running at the flag on my first attempt makes me feel so much happier and a lot more confident..👍👍!!

@alexstahl7899 3 года назад

coach, how about some help for older golfers who have a problem clearing the (left) hip and back problems, not to mention reduced flexibility.

@rohitpratap4174 2 года назад

My playing partners classify me as a good putter. For a 5hc I average 26 putts per round which on SG is close to scratch level. Agree with Mark 100% here..1 other tip I find invaluable no matter the green speed from Donald and Harrington are stopping the blade at the ball, not hitting through (a la hitting a nail into a wall). Almost impossible to leave a putt significantly short this way on slow putts.. another one from Woods is visualising the putt hit the front/back of the hole at a very certain speed.. amazing how often good visualisation transfers into a good stroke/swing. I never focus on technique with any distance of putt.. anyone else have similar ideas..?

@Soul-Taker 3 года назад

High handicappers have on average four 3 putts per round. I'm over achieving, I can easily manage three or four 3 putts on the front nine! #winning

@jonathanthomason7896 3 года назад

2 per round average 3 putts. Working on the putting green 3 days a week though, or with my puttout.

@liamriddy358 3 года назад

a great tip I've used this year is don't focus on the hole as the endpoint with long putts. Instead, I imagine the fringe of the green beyond, and then where the hole is in relation to it. I get better distance control trying to stop the ball in an area on the way to the fringe, rather than the hole being the end of my focus - I would leave a lot short that way.
