Brandt Snedeker: Putting Made Easy

Rolling that little white ball into that little white hole isn't as hard as you think. The trick is to strike the ball in the same place with the center of the putterface every time. I do it with a pop-style stroke, an old technique that's helped me

[@mikefixac]

Thanks Brandt. You're a good guy. Now go out there and get that 1st major. Thanks for the tip.

[@vinceschiavo5385]

I predict Brandt will win the 2016 US Open!

[@nlb4697]

the trick is learning the feel of pressure in the left hand I love it for my age 67 very short stroke and can hit it 70 feet easily once you get the PRESSURE feeling

[@kevinhiggler2896]

Past month, been putting 31 putt's per round, with this pop stroke, good for me. Compared to 38 strokes. Distance is better. Thanks for the tips Brandt.

[@MrLeftyno1]

Tried this method and holed a lot of putts and was tapping in the rest, great video and a keeper technique.

[@manifestyourlife7]

This is definitely a throwback putting stroke before all the technology and simulations were done. It's a more ideal stroke too for amateur's imo.

[@elvisroach3303]

I never leave comments on videos but this time I have to. this changed my putting immediately from the first put, I started dropping the ball in the hole like I knew what I was doing, long, short , breaking whatever it just went in, if it missed it was by centimeters. I never had any lesson or tip that delivered what it promised right from get go like this. THANK YOU

[@bigdumbanimal23]

Brandt, I just tried your putting stroke for 18 and I was amazed! Thank you. You are now my favorite Pro Golfer!

[@bailinnumberguy]

Nailed three 12 footers in a row. I could stand on a putting green for 5 years and not make 3 in a row from that distance.

[@danthemanwhocancan]

Randy Bailin I bet Sneds couldn’t shear a sheep in 46 seconds like you can Randy! That’s his profession.

[@coffeefish]

He's a pro Randy. Probably hit's that putt 7 days a week for years.

[@vincenzod9431]

This is priceless info for anybody

[@johndaws9934]

brilliant - and getting some feel back into the putt- it's surely more natural this way

[@williamtaylor5193]

I like the brisk nature of everything Brandt does. If you watch his full swing, he shuffles into position, takes a look at his target and then goes. A lot of amateurs could benefit from this approach-- less thinking, less chance you'll get stuck over a putt, pitch, or full swing.

[@trythinkingforachange4201]

Putting is so personal. There are hundreds of people telling you how to do it but this is one of the better ones. Learn from your own experience.

[@brucedong4904]

Thank you, this is great for us "muni" players, who have to deal with foot prints and volcano holes.

[@golfersreport8852]

If you play the video in slow motion at .25 it appears that the putter head only gets ahead slightly on the back swing, stays there and the forward motion is more shoulders than hands. Tried it that way and it worked much better

[@teddythodo3302]

Feel is not real. He feels as though the putter head takes over, but in reality when performing it, it actually looks like everything moves in one piece. I have tried this method and it is really good for distance control because you can take it back to wherever you think is enough, make your stroke and stop as soon as you hit the ball. It's a weird feeling but distance control is a lot better

[@mikefixac]

I'd love to see an in depth video on Brandt's putting technique. Looks like you figured out a few of his more delicate tendencies.

[@russbrewer2273]

I got a buddy that pop putts and literally never misses from 5 ft and in.

[@dougzembiec9995]

Awesome guy..... Even better stroke

[@ysgol3]

I LOVE the way that Brandt destroys the impression that's been given by mediocre coaches for many years now that 'rocking the shoulders' and 'taking the hands out of the stroke' is the ONLY way to putt well. Great putters like Nicklaus, Player, Palmer, Trevino and Casper were always very 'handsy'. Maybe if Rory listened to Brandt he's stop putting like a constipated robot and would start winning majors again.

[@Dreama40]

Well said! ppl forget Nicklaus used his right hand a lot to push the ball forwards, he used his shoulders as well, but he definitely "released" the putter head with his hands through the stroke and who can argue with his record! Wristy putting ok? You bet it is!

[@ysgol3]

Dreama - Absolutely. I find it amazing that, as far as I know, NOBODY has tried to copy Jack;s stroke - I always thought he looked fantastic over the ball (always a good sign I think), with his head behind the ball looking down the line. I always laugh about Jack's reply when he was asked why he kept his glove on when putting (Trevino id too didn't he ?). H simply said, 'I could never see the point of bothering to take it off'. You've just got to love him !!

[@CurtisSimpson]

I think the same goes for Jordan Spieth. He has gone to the left hand low technique and he had a poor year with it. I thought he putted great with his hands (left hand high) early in his career.

[@fradaja]

ysgol3 there was plenty of good wristy putters in the day

[@jah_rastafari]

Curtis Simpson spieth has always been left hand low

[@CurtisSimpson]

I have been putting with one hand for a while and had good success but then I would start to doubt it. Now I realize that I was doing the pop stroke with the one hand. Brandt showed that one hand practice at the end of this video. Now I understand that what I like about the one hand stroke is the feel and the pop. Now I will try and integrate my left hand and make same stroke. But I will continue to practice some with the one hand as I do have great feel for putting that way. Thanks Brandt. Nashville rocks. Win a major in 2019!

[@TeddyCavachon]

The significant difference between putting and all other golf shots is the direction the ball spins: top spin with putts and backspin with all the others. With Driver, irons and wedges using the left arm as the lever arm rotating around the left shoulder creates the ideal biomechanics to create a downward strike on the ball which if on the ground will compress it into the turf, spin it up the face to the degree the loft of the club allows with irons and wedges ( desirable for creating spin lift). But in the putting stoke an upward strike creates the ideal biomechanics and the back right arm with rotation around a stable right shoulder joint being the more effective technique as employed by Brandt and no doubt one of the reasons he puts so well.

[@thilog5874]

Super Tip!!! It really makes putting so much more easy. I wish I would have done this 30 years ago!

[@sufcben]

Been struggling with my putting saw this video putting was so much better great help

[@pjackowspa]

This putting stroke is better suited to the average, amateur player because they rely more on feel and natural hand eye coordination. You only develop feel in the modern putting stroke through the practice and repetition that only tour pros and top amateurs can give. I’ve switched to the pop stroke after watching Gary Player on the putting green at ST Andrews this year and my putting has improved immensely

[@BEBETTERGOLF]

I have been to a few PGA tour events in the last few years and this guy practice's putting a lot!!! He really takes pride in it

[@teddythodo3302]

Haha do a review on this method!

[@BEBETTERGOLF]

ok! I might

[@stephanietraynor828]

jockey and the races

[@mikefixac]

That'd be great if you could do a video with Brandt. I've somewhat tried doing his method and I'm making more short putts too. For some reason though, my follow through is still longer than my backswing.

[@A-FrameWedge]

He has a fairly quick tempo, a lot of people would do better with a quicker tempo on putts, seen a lot of very bad too slow strokes.

[@Andyvg99]

I’ve been practicing this technique. I have to admit, there really may be something to this. Everything he said is what I’ve been experiencing. The ball rolls so true and straight.

[@thetruthfornow6045]

This is what the greats of the past did. Pop it. Some say that stroke would not work on the faster greens on the tour today. Brandt disagrees.

[@cliffdiver1965]

Impressive, most impressive, and he blows the modern approach to putting out of the water, cheers.

[@gmoney0726]

Tried this today and there was a dramatic improvement, will def use this from now on.!

[@jimlafrance9546]

The state doesn't control property tax - which makes these ads confusing and misleading. Ned Lamont can't raise property taxes - how would he? What he campaigned on was a state tax credit for lower income individuals. That $700 proposal didn't get passed. So that's not an increase in taxes. If your property taxes went up $2000 - there's no way you were going to be eligible for a low income tax credit.

[@golfraven5669]

Sneds is the best. However you cannot copy his style as this likely will not fit you. Unless you want to practise just this 1 hour plus every say. Own your stroke dont copy it.

[@14stOfDynamite]

Dudes got game 😎

[@stevekeller3643]

Brandt, 9 years after the video, are you still putting that way ? I may try as my current rock the shoulders or upper traps isn’t working. Thanks for the video

[@Stewart5225]

Thanks Brandt!

[@davidrodriguez2366]

Pendulum technique without the long follow thru my way long follow thru works great 👍 roll under and up easy putting technique

[@cgasucks]

My swing is a lot better but my putting is fucking sad...I will try this stroke out...

[@cgasucks]

cgasucks Update: Awesome tip!! I'm holing out a lot more putts and from further distances from the hole!

[@padraigdoyle7259]

All he needs is his long game to be good and he'll win everything

[@tomschroder6017]

He won the Fed Ex Cup lol

[@dobrostarr]

Where are your eyes? the ball, the hole, a spec 10 inches from the ball???

[@tomthe13omb]

On the green in two. then 6 put >:(

[@douglaswarner3598]

This really makes sense. So much less can go wrong. Do find however that with the short finish it promotes a pull. Any else have this issue and any comments?

[@michaelfitzgerald8745]

The pop stroke has completely changed my putting averages, living in the UK on slower greens this is the future definitely. I feel so confident compared to the last 30 years- that's right 30 years of never knowing what was going to happen on the greens. Totally changed now can't wait to get on the green and Pop them in!!

[@theartificialsociety3373]

Look for seve ballasteros putting. Its a variation that is different but still pop.

[@prorobo]

Sneds is the man. If he stays away from injury he should contend for some majors.

[@dbasrus]

Putting made easy.. get Brandt Snedeker to putt for you!

[@light1531]

Notice his left shoulder does not close and open, reduces another variable!

[@gerrymcintosh4477]

I would listen to this guy. 🇨🇦💝🇺🇸🙏👍

I love the way this guy putts, works better for me than the slow deliberate back and through the ball method.

[@shawn199500]

I like this stroke, though still trying get the speed down. What about breaks, the short 6' and in you play as though there isn't break and hit dead center? But what about longer 15+ foot lots of break with 2+ feet of break?

[@chris2513-cc]

Find a breakpoint (spot putt) and pop stroke to that spot!

[@JohnDoe-it1vq]

I just feel my right hand. Short with a pop and roll it straight!

[@smithjones569]

When it comes to putting Poppers are better than Strokers

[@donbenson4462]

How can that method work on a 12.5 (stemp) downhill put without causing a chip back off the green ???????

[@11Morphy]

On those quick downhill putts you would still use the same putting stroke, but use less back-swing. Sometimes if the slope is severely steep, hit the putt off of the toe or the very tip of the putter to "kill" the pace. Sort of like nudging the ball to the hole. This is a situation where you can't be robotic and need a creative approach or just make sure you hit your approach shot below the flag stick.👌

[@beedee9534]

This guy is the best player ever he sets up driver gone quick none of this 15 waggles count the dimples like Nicklaus and Kevin Nan and Garcia first started you could fall asleep if there would be a time limit of 15 seconds per swing Snedeker would win hands down even chipping and putting amazing the rest I could go to sleep even Tiger with his pre-start yawn
