BACK TO BASICS! Putting Lesson From a Tour Coach!

[@TheFrenchPug]

One of the best videos I have ever watched. A golf coach getting coached AND on putting! Like you said, it just goes to show you that you can't watch your own swing to see the breakdowns and fixes needed. Laughed out loud on the foot cramp and that guy is a dead pan dry comedian on top of it!

[@adriancox-thesantjordigolf3646]

Wow! This a gem of a video. All the trade secrets in 10 mins. Thanks James.

[@shep1582]

Never taking a putting lesson, but this is why your channel is brilliant. James, you are incredibly humble and an excellent instructor yes we can all always learn and improve - Again brilliant and Cheers from the States!

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Appreciate that Stephen!

[@grigsbypoland3203]

Totally agree, Stephen. I lost a lot of respect for Mark Crossfield when I heard he decided not to attend Rick Shiels' charity event. MC has no problem playing courses all over the world with his posse to promote his golf travel company but can't seem to find the time to play with fellow youtubers for a worthy cause. Boo on him and kudos to James (and many others) for stepping up to play.

[@thomasbechhansen6907]

Had a putting lesson last year from former 4 x Solheim Cup player Iben Tinning and it was fantastic. Actually having another one next week. Easiest way to shave strokes off your game and much easier to implement than full swing changes. Highly recommended

[@paulhampton966]

Must admit, I switched this off the first time. I then went back and watched the whole video. Restricting the backswing has got me my old stroke back. Thanks guys.

[@sactownjoey]

The two things I worked on this last week with my putting? Hands higher to align arms with the shaft and stroke-not-hit. What a coincidence. I played difficult greens Saturday and definitely saw a difference. Thanks for the validation! I definitely need to work on having a consistent ball position every putt as well. Great video!

[@ridethespiral5498]

I just had my first putting lesson from you two James. Great video.

[@tombudimerovich4138]

James...easily your best video EVER!!! Keep them coming :-) Plus the comedy was great as well.

[@richardvalentine4133]

I play down in the south east of England and yes, I have invested in a block of lessons and already had a putting lesson. Also, short game wedge lesson........brilliant! Well worth it, without a doubt.

[@jonathanmellor714]

James I've been binge watching loads of your videos this afternoon and i have to say this is an eye opener, what a great coach Chris is, I will be watching this again and again, thanks

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Cheers Jonathan. Hope you’ve enjoyed yourself whilst picking up a few tips

[@jonathanmellor714]

@@JamesRobinsonGolf yes there has been a few things that i will be taking onboard. Cheers

[@stevebarker3836]

Really informative video with some good tips for us all in there. Great to see another coach with a sense of humour as well to keep it entertaining.

[@robsaxepga]

Great chemistry between you guys. Great vid. Thanks!

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Cheers Rob

[@airport4967]

This is really some great stuff on putting....so great!

[@jeffwilliams8305]

It makes so much more sense now. Great video mate all the way from Australia.

[@rossyhead69]

Yes!! I need this is my life! Added to my watch later list 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@andygibbins5372]

Had a putting lesson the other day. Got our pro to do it on a nine hole playing lesson rather than on practice green ( I can hole putts in practice all day). Loved the information here also imparted confidence.......a MUST on the course.

[@richardsdiaz1]

Loved this! I’ haven’t had a putting lesson since I was 18 and have no real developed technique of my own. I just go by feel! All I can tell you for sure is ... 1) I’m a pendulum style putter. 2) there is a quite a bit of toe flow in my stroke. 3)there is little to no hit in my stroke. I’m going to video myself putting next chance I get and see how I compare! I’m feeling an online putting lesson in the near future! Awesome video!!!

[@peterwatt5521]

Fair play to you James, as a Pro you were not shy to go see Chris Ryan and have a lesson and here again with the other Chris. There is a reason why Tour Pros have Coaches who travel around with them to keep their game fine tuned. My putting is usually fairly good but i have had a putting lesson...we should all try and improve i think. One question would be, how much time do we practice putting? In a round you could be having 30+ putts but im sure many of us spend 30-60mins on the range and 5-10mins putting before stepping on the tee...

[@sparrax1x]

I’ve been for a putting lesson just now watching this 😊thanks guys

[@jeremystafford8374]

Really useful video. Before and after images really helpful to understanding the contrast. Looking forward to seeing more , best video this year.

[@neildixon3833]

Good video. I had a couple of putting lessons a year or so ago and it improved my putting no end. The best tip I got on tempo was to think ‘tick-tock’ tick on the backswing and tock on the through swing. Make sure they are both the same speed each word. Not tiiiiiiick - tock as I used to do, far too long a backswing. Bear in mind up to 40% of your strokes may be with the putter so with the investment.

[@nigeledmonds2928]

After a round of 41 yes 41 putts yesterday it brought me back to this video and I will be giving these instructions a go, great content as always James and a big thumbs up for Chris

[@kimhannemann]

NEVER had a putting lesson, as you would well know from watching me putt. But now thanks to you and Chris, I have had one. Sort of.

[@shanebrink7346]

I've never had a putting lesson from a professional, only from other golfers. I love the simplicity of what you've discovered about your putting stroke. This will help in my practice for sure.

[@paulcurotto3884]

Hi James great , great video. I never thought about a putting lesson. I can't believe how much I have just learned from watching your lesson. Thank you keep em coming👍

[@robertphillips8492]

I have cerebral palsy on my left side and only putt one-handed with my right hand and your one-handed putting stroke that you practiced is exactly how I putt.

[@RecklessRusty]

I got a putter fitting and lesson last season. Broke 80 for the first time. 8.5 handicap over my last 24 rounds. My iron game needs quite a bit of work. I only hit about 8 greens in regulation. Its amazing how low you can get around with a decent short game and putting.

[@johncreet1254]

Had my first (and only) putting lesson last autumn.Learnt a lot about my head position and shoulder alignment a address. Definitely worth it.

[@medfloat5001]

After downing a pint or two while foot tapping to the Dubliners I rewatched your lesson from Chris. The first time it really registered, especially the arm/shaft alignment coupled with the slight forward shaft lean. I tried it a few times last round and found it helped. Now that I’ve watched it a second time and the greens keepers have been able to cut the greens I think I’ll drop a few strokes from the handicap. I did add a bit of weight shift to the front foot to keep me from leaning back...SCORE!!!

[@Mungo-ul9pv]

Best video I’ve ever seen you do. Get him on more. More use of a putter in a round (especially for me) than any other club.

[@richardtoms9161]

Never thought about a putting lesson. Every spring I have my club pro take a look to make sure my grip and alignment are still correct but now I think I might have him look a my putting and chipping also. Thank you for the info.

[@mikerobbie838]

Much needed! Some great tips to try and will also look into a putting lesson after this. Removing the 3-putts will help with the handicap for sure!

[@alanheseltine7959]

Very informative video James, and I would like to see Chris in more of your content

[@chrispearson5787]

Great video. Putting lessons more important than driving surely. I use the putter on every hole, driver 14 times a round!!!

[@tommiethatcher7265]

Thank you so much for sharing your putting lesson,that was awesome 👏👏

[@michaellangley2973]

James and Chris I tried it and it's working. Work in progress but really has helped my putting. Thanks so much!

[@paulhoughton5431]

Great video James, many thanks Chris.Putting was my strength and has now become my weakness. I have a T bar in the boot of my car just don't use it because I'm lazy. I've had my last two putters for over six years so I know its not the tools! I shall use these exercise's to get my confidence back.

[@philipcrewe540]

My one & only putting lesson was at Glen Eagles in 2014, he said I was going too far forward with my putter, plus I always mis to the right, good video, gives me lots to work on thanks

[@andyevans6785]

Excellent video, always struggled with putting, so have invested in putting lessons but learned a lot from the video, thanks.

[@anthonypapa9407]

Great tips by Chris. I never had a putting lesson but it makes sense especially when you have a goal of breaking 90 this year.

[@jpugolf1727]

Hi James, everyone wants lessons on how to hit the ball 300 yards...no good if you 3 putt ever green. Putting lessons are so underrated. I've had one and I can honestly say I got more out of that one lesson than all my long game lessons . I was already a very good putter but just a few tweaks has reduced the amount of 3 putts to just a few a season.

[@chrisfreitag2603]

Excellent video. Putting lessons are very beneficial and a great way to save strokes.

[@Jimsranch]

Very good video! I was considering a putting lesson but will try what I learned here first.

[@neiltaylor1765]

Put a couple of these in practice this morning, massive set up changes, look forward to putting it in play Saturday

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Good luck Neil!

[@neiltaylor1765]

Cheers James putted great as it happens, won the match as well 🙌🙌

[@jlash259]

Great video! I’m starting to work on putting a lot more so this one will be saved!

[@alanteauseau8038]

Excellent coaching Chris and thanks James for the video. You are my fav!

[@duvalayiberia6314]

Chris is a great putting coach, really knows his stuff

[@catgolfer1]

I really loved this video. I went out and purchased the training device and have been using it for two weeks. Its made a positive difference. However James, I also adapted your hand grip. I just wished that you had shown us the underside where your fingers either interlock or overlap. Thanks, David 🐈

[@reginapendletonaddsthesoun98]

Thank you for your fun yet very informative tutorial. I'm new to golf so thank you. 😁

[@michaelgeffre4009]

Not sure how I didn't see this video sooner but I can't thank you enough for sharing this. After watching I went right outside to my putting green and worked on it. Completely changed my confidence on my set up and wow, it is rolling nice now.

[@karinamachadoescobar20]

here's a few things for ways to improve your golf Do exercises Position your feet correctly discover the correct body posture (I discovered these and the reasons they work on Gavs golf tactic website )

[@bogeygolfer3151]

Excellent video more please on putting love Chris's style

[@maamold]

Played a tournament two weeks ago and I was putting like an absolute . Time for some real down an dirty putting practice. Thanks James.

[@mickhatin7409]

Great video, probably my favorite non-vloggy one of yours. Never had a putting lesson, but I’ll be taking a load of this to the putting green tomorrow and looking into getting to an instructor. Thanks James & Chris!

[@jimrothery1289]

Enjoyed this lesson very much. I think I've learned some things. I appreciate you guys taking the time to do it. keep up the good. work

[@timbassett5480]

I have been putting terribly albeit streaky at times, this has confirmed my belief that I need a putting lesson so thanks guys really insightful

[@localmix8800]

Went to Cool Clubs for a Tee to Wedge fitting and was lucky enought to get a putter fitting as well. Became a putting lesson that was invaluable. I'm booking more putting lessons.

[@stevegawloski9722]

Just had a putting lesson a few weeks ago. My coach did the same thing, shortened up the follow through. Felt better immediately

[@medfloat5001]

That was a timely video. Going to the course in 2 hours and needed something like this to refresh my putting. Awesome!

[@stephenblack9843]

Great video James. So good to see you guys getting lessons as well as us

[@yagarmeister1502]

One of the most valuable videos I’ve seen from you James. Well done.

[@jessevardaman6208]

I had one putting lesson many years ago. This video is very informative. I'm like you James, Ball to far forward in my stance, more of a hit than a stroke. Tee to Green I'm okay, it's my putting that kills me

[@mbion001]

Great video. Best putting video I have seen on putting!!

[@telaniestrydom177]

I have. Been watching James videos and my putting had improved tremendously

[@danielmosias6280]

James this is one of the best videos I've seen on here. As for taking putting lessons? I've only taken one and I didn't find it that good, I got the feeling that the so called teacher was more interested in selling me a new putter rather than getting me better with the one I had. It seems that most so called teachers are attached to the pro shop and are more interested in selling rather than teaching

[@stuartjames1971]

I didn’t realise that a shorter follow through meant it was a better stroke than a long follow through. The likes of Tiger Woods or Rickie Fowler have the short follow through and I look at this as thumping the ball towards the hole. Giving it a hit rather than striking or stroking it. Good video this. I’m going to work at this. High hands, ball back a bit in stance and stop the follow through. 👍🏻⛳️👍🏻

[@ChrisDennisGolf]

Stuart James -Professional Singer Hi Stuart, yes that’s what a lot of people think. And I certainly did when I played. But you will find that the energy transfers better from a putter that is swinging. You will notice with Tiger and Ricky if you had a box drawn around their trousers 👖 you wouldn’t see there hands travel outside of then even on longer putts. We will have a video to follow soon about pace putting which will explain this further 👍👍

[@tonywestwell]

Fascinating that. Feel like I need a putting lesson now. Brilliant lesson

[@colinwhite2890]

That one handed six foot flat putt drill at about 12:00 is quality. I do that all the time on my mat in the living room. Massive improvement in strike

[@ioanesigarara8295]

Great lesson gentlemen thanks

[@jamesbond4633]

That was great!! Best putting lesson I have seen on KZbin that makes absolute sense!!!

[@69brook66]

Great video, you're right about the lack of putting lessons it's overlooked by most. Ashton & Lea GC in Preston has a purpose built putting studio with all the kit.

[@russelclark7687]

I'm starting my 4th year. So I'm still working really hard on the full swing. The coach I've been working with has given me 3 putting lessons. Wow, that sounds really one-sided. However, my driver still needs a lot of work!

[@aliasErEf]

Simple so simple, thank you !

[@drummerleonard]

Great video James hope everyone who watched the video will learn something about their own putting

[@alanking5001]

Never been for a putting lesson , but I'm going to now . Great video mate

[@oliverleo1]

Just had a great lesson thanks guys I will be trying this. Great content

[@stefancoors1102]

That it some really eye-opening lesson right there. Awesome vid with the driest of humours from Chris ;)

[@AMGOSUK]

25%+ of my work with my coaches is on putting technique and drills. I add in specialist sessions every 3-4 months - I have a full day at Formby Hall this summer, 2 hours with Mike. I will also seek to ensure that my putters fit whatever my stroke ends up being - over the last 18 months - I have been as short as 28.5” and slowly with changes to my set-up - more elbows back and in - we have added 2” to the length - at 74 degrees the lie is quiet upright. I am using a 430g head weight putter and am playing with various grip weights - currently 75g - giving me a putter weighing over 600g. This has helped provide less face rotation and more stability, where I have suffered from wobbles.

[@terrydonnison]

Thanks James I took some of the advise you were given on putting and used on today's medal , it worked , I putted a lot better than I have been doing , sunk some very long putts, thanks to you and Chris

[@billkendall9110]

Great vlog James! i have putting lessons as part of my overall swing plan with my coach. You use the putter the most in a round and its the most important club in the bag, IMO!

[@damianjoseph3837]

Great channel mate and really enjoy your content. But that was one of the most interesting and thought provoking videos I have seen on KZbin.

[@michaelmckinley3494]

Super helpful! I appreciate you both! I’ve been struggling with my putting and I’ve just started taking lessons to get better. I will add your tips to my new routine. Thank you!

[@edwardpreston3663]

My putting was not great. I persevered with my own trial and error fixes for a couple more years until I decided enough is enough. One bleeding lesson ( using a laser and video ) gave me a putting stroke that worked perfectly.( Still need to read the line correctly of course). Best thing I ever did for my golf game.

Awesome video I was able to learn a lot, Chris seems like a great coach plus good for a laugh. Love these types of videos James !

[@Digital_Photog1995]

Thank You!! My putting has been all bad. No stroke just a hit, a short back and a long forward. Something to work on.

[@shaynewalters4806]

This could save a shot a hole .Yes had putting lessions would and a set up routine as well always go through every putt!! Great info and video James !!

Great vid mate. What app is the instructor using when he analyses your putt positions with the blue rectangle to draw on etc?

[@oskareriksson1233]

Would also like to know!

[@alexbratt8619]

This video was super helpful!

[@paulwatson6894]

Never had a putting lesson, but surely it helps if you can read a green as well though, great video as usual 👍

[@rodneymounsey4168]

Nice video, I need to see Chris, there’s a lot to learn with him!
