  1. Cheers for this, I have been researching "golf swing weight" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about – Graysonyon Putter Prolific – (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my mate got amazing results with it.

  2. This was great, I have been researching "golf swing tips slice" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about – Graysonyon Putter Prolific – (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my work buddy got cool success with it.

  3. wtf the sticks are not for ball path they are for the lines of sholders and feet then feet don’t matter and aim down the sticks. this guy is so overrated. about as good as the last two pages of golf digest only w an offputing accent and even older more worthless tips

  4. I use cup coasters scattered around the room. Similar size to a golf hole to train the eye..

  5. Martin, would you please also address the lie angle of the putter, what it should be. I use ping irons and my fitting color for my irons is green dot – 2.25 degrees upright, but when I got fitted for a putter it was gold dot – 4 degrees flat – parallel to the ground. Made a big difference in my putting especially 10 feet in and squaring the putter face. Thanks.

  7. Did anyone see this guy take a breath or was it just non-stop talking… could you imagine trying to have a two-way conversation?

  8. It took me about 200 hours working under a 7 foot string to finally figure out how it putt. I could make 50 putts in a row from 6 feet, but then come back the next day and miss the first 10 in a row. After enough times of that frustration, I finally began to understand what is important and what is not. Most of all, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND A PROPER STROKE. And that is not easy because the APPEARANCE of an arc (and the opening and closing of the blade) does come into play. The putter shaft must be on a tilted plane by the rules of golf. and understanding what happens as a result of that rule when stroking on a single plane is extremely deceiving (it’s not croquet). Once you understand all that, you begin to understand the importance of an extremely light grip (as per Crenshaw), the important of Tiger’s "right hand only drill" and the very critical "release" of the club as you stroke forward, and the important role that blade height above the ground at impact plays. You begin to understand exactly why all tour players use some form of the Super Stroke grip. And finally you begin to understand that in a proper stroke, NOTHING MUCH IS ACTUALLY IMPORTANT (except for maybe peaking) as long as you use a very light grip. You are simply then maximizing your chances that the blade is pointing at your intended target at the point of a released impact. This is why so many tour players today move all over the place as they stroke. It’s not important (except for peaking). Understand that actually swinging the putter on a single plane with zero shaft rotation relative to that plane (with the help of the flat topped Super stroke grip) is what IS important. And allowing the club to do that all by itself on the forward stroke (the release) with a very light grip is what makes a tour level putter. I achieved that talent. On a semi-related note, many top tour players actually do "hook" the putt into the hole. Top putting instructor Stan Utley endorses this practice. They do this with "lift" through the ball, which closes the blade face (due to shaft tilt in a proper on plane stroke). It’s not to produce good roll as most people (and announcers) think. It’s to double the margin of error on short putts. It is exactly the same as Nicklaus’s "bread and butter" fade with his driver but in reverse. You aim a little right and hook by lifting (not twisting) through the ball on a tilted plane (it closes the face), thus doubling your margin of error (you never go right). This is what both Jordan Spieth and Ricky Fowler do all the time on short putts. There is actually a Golf Digest video which teaches this by Michael Breed. I use it too now that I have a tour level putting stroke and technique. I can make 100 in a row from 6 feet with my right hand only just like Tiger. Repeating this light touch non-rotating release through the ball is critical to becoming a great putter. You go under, not around (left), on the release !!!!! All the young tour level players today know all of this. And it is why they are so damned good from inside of 10 feet. Former top tour player Joey Rassett (out from injury in accident) also showed me that using a long putter and holding off (locking out) all shaft rotation at the top with the left hand through the release below (right hand) is also a great training aid to all this. He does this himself in practice up to an hour or so per day. This was taught to him by his college golf coach. It is another form of the the Tiger Woods right hand only drill which he constantly uses in practice.
