Excellent drill. Thanks Todd/
Best tip I ever took (You've heard it too) is to keep your head still.
Golfers don't want math. We want feel. Teach us
Club face position is the most important. A strangle-hold on the obvious.
Likes the sound of his own voice ..how to learn nothing from an Expert…i expect he is fully booked for lessons after this video !!!!@
Nice drill ⛳️🏌️♀️
I don't know how you can deliver such a load of crap. A first grader could figure out what you are saying but no one on this earth could repeat it. The answer to what you are saying lies in never ROTATING the putter itself relative to the TILTED PLANE it rides on. And that takes some actual brain power to figure out why. That new device advertised on Facebook does that for you. It's the one with an upper plane board which really reveals the whole secret except for Ben Crenshaw's RELEASE which is ultra critical as well. A putter unrotated on a single tilted plane and then RELEASED, does not twist. It is always square to the line at impact. It appears to both arc and open and close but it actually is not being rotated because of the tilt angle. That tilt angle is why there are few world class players. Most people are not smart enough to ever figure it out. The people at "the Putting Arc" were probably the FIRST to go public with it. You remind me of Dave Pelz… someone who has no idea how to actually putt but pretends to.
but….obviously that the club head needs to be square.There was the need to make a video to explain it ?
another visual drill is to start with 2 balls side by side and putt them at same time, the result will be either heel ball goes further, or toe ball goes further or both roll together.
I love that after his drill he hit the worst putt off all!
2nd putt was your best. Hit it a bit harder and it was in.
Or… Find a straight put on the green. Mark a line to the hole. Your club face has to be straight anywhere on the line to make the put. You don't need $3000 in equipment to tell you that.
Actually there was NO->ZERO->NADA->NONE Putts holed out in this video… That´s kind weird!! Where is the skill?? I have not learned anything…
Todd, Old Pro here, long retired. This is a good tip for practice but a better one is the oldest one, avoid a tight grip, allow a tiny bit of release in the wrists. So many people, including McIlroy and Scheffler, try to "hold" the putter square, particularly under pressure, when they both miss so many 5 to 6 ft putts. From this range, as your monitor will tell you, just 1 degree out can miss. Much easier is to set the blade square at address, swing back and through allowing the putter to swing freely to its address position. If you try and hold it square, you have a 2 way miss, just watch McIlroy when he is going through a bad spell. Incidentally, he does the same with his short irons, tries to hold the blade square, gets a 2 way miss, often a toe strike, short and right.
You might do a video on this, I would be interested to see how accurate you could be with a tight grip, see if you can "hold" the putter square to 1 degree accuracy. I doubt it.
I glued two golf balls together and that is a very good training aid for a square face. It is very hard to get the two balls rolling perfectly.
Quite agree- these videos far longer than necessary
What works best for me on 2-10 footers is to keep my wrists very relaxed but steady and to let the weight of my mallet putter do majority of the work..like a pendulum. Don’t force the transition from back to forward but just assist gravity with the added pressure needed to get the ball to the cup. I noticed that I tried to control the face and stroke too much with a light putter which resulted in a lot of missed 3-5 footers. Lag putts I obviously have to use more brute force but that’s when you focus on speed instead of a perfect follow through.
Please don't think about this stuff when actually trying to score on the golf course, focus on speed and line – the stroke is the simplest actions in all of sports, the less you think about it the better you will putt.
