The LAST Putting Lesson You Will Ever Need - 3 Simple Tips

[@anaverageperson5436]

Great tips as usual Danny, the only thing I would add is when you look at the hole in the routine #1 visualise it plopping in 😊 Thanks Danny

[@DanielMaude]

Always 👌

[@LennartSwenson]

Last evening I find the Putting Lesson You Will Ever Need on youTube. Today I had a Senior Completion on My club Tranås GK. I practice your advice on putting green and I felt directly that this will help me. Today I did my very best round this year with a 67 net and only 31 putts. I totally agree with you that tis is the only drill you ever need.

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you !

[@suetaylor578]

My putting was going wayward this year and costing me greatly.. These are great tips Danny. A great reminder to get back to the basics and stick to the routine. Will be ‘putting’ this into practice over the summer break ready for the new year of golf. Merry Christmas from Aus and keep up the great work.

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you 😁

[@danielmccann8325]

Danny, just used your tip about putting posture. Noted I was too upright and kept pushing all my putts. Once I correct my posture as you described (putting my head straight down ) . I started hitting all my putts Straight. Just got back from shooting my best round of the year and no 3 putts! Thank you.

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks Jay 😁

[@PAULGUNNION]

On Monday, at the golf range, I mentioned this video to my playing partner, especially your 1-2-3-4 routine. Then I decided to apply the exercise to my practice - I was using my driver. I usually slice my driver shots. Applying your little 1-2-3-4 exercise, focusing on the 100yd post, I hit the ball straight over the the post with my driver on 7 of 10 shots. It all needs more work, but I think I'll keep using that routine and apply to my game in the spring.

[@DanielMaude]

It’s amazing, great at clearing the mind and keeping things simple

[@terryduckworth5105]

I’m very similar to Danny, when I miss a putt or play a bad shot, I blame someone or something else like he did cause he was chatting to us 😆😗😗😗

I wish more golfers would focus on improving their putting

[@AlbertWood-tj3gc]

I had a lite putter for fast greens and was fairly consistent. Now I moved and the local club greens are super slow. I can not get to the hole. Do I need to get a putter with more weight to it? If not what would you suggest?

[@jonliebler6179]

I actually use this putter regularly myself!

[@pascalpezet]

Great video Danny! The thing i struggle the most is figuring out how to adjust the distance when a putt is uphill/downhill. My distance on a flat putt is usually "ok" (within a foot/foot and half) but as soon as i've got the same distance with a bit of an uphill, i very often fail to adjust, leaving the putt 5 foot short, or blasting it past the hole. Would love to see tips on how to gauge the slope and adjust the stroke length/speed accordingly. Unless it's all a matter of feel!

[@lazyaznmofo17]

If it's a slow ish group, take a walk and circle around the ball and pin, this will allow you to see the slope from all angles. And it is just on feel as most public courses in your area will have very varying greens that need a different touch. Make sure to use the practice green and not just the range prior to a round

[@brianjohnson8918]

There's no escaping the Danny Maude swing Awk! 😁😁😁

[@nathanwilliams9695]

Just saying here that few pro videos online will help the individual but Danny is worth watching a lot. Thanks 🙏🏼 Danny.

[@DanielMaude]

I appreciate that Nathan

[@barryashenhurst2071]

Yo Danny, good vid old mate. But tell me, how do you control the actual force of the stroke, with the length of the backswing, or with acceleration of the clubface?

[@DanielMaude]

Length of backswing. Personally I just feel the putters swinging freely and colours with the ball on the way

[@shellydianenovascotia3914]

Great video. Will you be doing more on putting? I tend to be wristy and must be closing face of putter causing most balls to go leftt.

[@DanielMaude]

I will indeed Shelly

[@125phr]

Cool tips Danny need to try this ,39 putts in last round not good enough !! What’s a good target per round for a mid handicap ?!

[@DanielMaude]

Really does depend on lots of different factors. As a general rule of you can get down to about 30 it’s a good target

[@johnritchie8336]

This is a corker. I got the 1,2,3,4 in person tip a few months back and it really works. The flow we had in the games of our youth is still there. And it really makes putting fun again and reduces the incidence of muttered foul language. Thanks Danny.

[@DanielMaude]

It really does John 😁👌

[@hothsurvivor]

November 28th 2022 was the first time I've tried to hit a golf ball. I'm trying to not develop bad habits in the beginning. This is what I've got so far... kzbin.inforBx1Skx4odQ?feature=share Any specifics I should start with first? Sorry about the music, I added it as a joke for my dad...

[@visanic]

Danny, it looks like you use a slightly open stance. Was that just the camera angle?

[@DanielMaude]

Just the camera angle Dan

[@johnmooney5223]

Great video Danny! I know you talk about the swing being on an arc but I’d like to hear what happens to the putter head after impact. Are we closing the face or trying to have it square to target line. Thanks I struggle with how to finish the stroke. 👍🏻

[@DanielMaude]

Club face naturally closes. It should never stay square to target line unless you are using a broom handle litter where the shaft goes straight up and down

[@johnmooney5223]

Thanks Danny can’t wait to try tomorrow!

[@paulgolfer]

HI DANNY, ITS ME AGAIN , I REFER TO YOUR CHIPPING VID WITH MY COMMENT. Like you but upto covid I was one of the best putters in the club 28 putts a round , but covid killed my mother and with her my putting . Now I am chopping and changing my three putters every two months as all three seem to be closed and I can not buy a straight putt . Today in a match my team mate holed a 15 ft putt for birdie I missed first a 5 ft one. Is there a legal way to open the face or AS I HAVE SEEN ON KZbin IS MY EYE DOMINENT ON MY LEFT , I AM A RIGHT HAND GOLFER, PAUL

[@jonmarsh8172]

Hi Danny I have a left dominant eye do I place my left over the ball or should I be central

[@Alex-zc8nr]

Best thing I've come to realize are these points: 1) If you were to roll a ball with your dominate hand, you'll know how much power to give it to get it to the hole. You can use the same muscle memory with your putter, your dominant trailing arm providing the power and follow through as if you were to roll it. This will ensure consistency on the power of your putts. 2) Keep your eye focused on the ball until after you've putt and followed through. This will ensure accuracy. I see so many Golfers pull their head up to watch the putt right as they strike it, which throws off accuracy and power The best way I can further describe #2 is, as an interior painter when I am cutting in an edge, my eye remains on the brush edge but also sort of a blank stare at it so I can watch just in front, and just behind the brush. This same principal is applied when striking the golf ball, you will ensure you are hitting your putter dead straight everytime, and taking into account #1 for power, you'll achieve some great putts.

[@zacharydunning6874]

I just did 9 on my regular golf course I go to I got my first eagle and hole in one on 16 I finished nine 2 over par I’m extatic but my putting needs work I kept having long putts mostly 2 too three putted

[@IANMORRISON-z9y]

3:22 you say for the putter to line straight up your forearm? Feels really awkward maybe I’m misunderstanding this? Thanks

[@EdwardClancy-u3g]

Do I vary length of backswing between short / medium / long puts to control the distance

[@andycarter9895]

Good tip.... I like to pace the distance to the hole. Typically a putter swing to the outside of the right foot putts the ball 5 paces... Add a ball width per pace. Massive help with confidence on putt lengths

[@DanielMaude]

That’s great Andy, thanks for sharing

[@alangoudie2299]

Thank you Andy for a valuable tip.

[@basharatmalik2020]

Danny: my putting has gone miserable, especially short putts (within 3-4 feet). Could u please advise some drill to overcome this. I think, I get too much tense in short putts. As a result, either I pull it or push the putter. Missing left or right

[@DanielMaude]

Exactly what I share in this video 👌

[@elusien7249]

Danny, thanks for this. It helped me in my last Medal Competition. However, some years ago I developed the "Yips". I tried several ways to alleviate this affliction but recently it seems to have come back with a vengeance. Do you have any advice for what someone with the "Yips" can do>

[@DanielMaude]

I do indeed, close your eyes..:you won’t tip it. Remember yips are caused by a concern over what is about to happen. Practice doing things that keep you in the present moment over the ball. We’ve all had them at one stage or another The first key in removing them is to let the result go. It’s not always easy to do, but the only thing that is going to help you home or putts and stop yipping is to concentrate on the present and what will be will be.

[@shaun6991]

Any idea where to purchase that mirror tool? All the ones I've seen are straight instead of slightly arched

[@edlloyd976]

Danny, would your set up be the same for a mid mallet putter? Enjoyed the video, thanks.

[@DanielMaude]

Absolutely Ed

[@jimpotter3356]

Danny - In a previous video you mentioned putting a slight forward lean on the club so that your hands are in front of the ball, In this video that isn't mentioned. Has your thinking changed on this?

[@DanielMaude]

Hi Jim, no that’s correct. Simply set up as your putter is designed which for most putters puts the hands ahead

[@DrMacCandless]

Great advice as always, BUT, if I may make so bold, I can't agree with the comment about "reading" the putt sideways. Surely it's better to stand or squat behind the ball, look for the line with binocular vision, choose a spot within your peripheral vision when addressing the ball and roll the ball over that spot. Everything else in the videos is absolutely spot on. I just don't think you can line up a putt looking at it sideways.

[@DanielMaude]

Yes what I meant by that was it’s easier to visualise the ball going in from there 😁

[@jeffreymoss4257]

Great reminder of some basics, which I tend to deviate from over time. Thanks!

[@margaretbotterill6266]

It works brilliant but cost me £50 with our club pro lasy week.

[@lemino10]

Hi Danny. Is the stroke (on a arc) the same with a mallet putter?

[@davidcox5358]

Always simple tips o help anyone and everyone. Just think one less putt on every green and you have reduced your handicap by 18.

[@DanielMaude]

Can you imagine that David

[@Nitrox4me]

Maybe you should add to do that with every putt.. including the close ones. I've seen people come back close to it like you just did and then Duff the final.

[@DanielMaude]

Very true Stu

[@mclaugka]

Great video and love the routine? What starts your putting stroke motion - do you have a trigger? Do you feel like your sternum powers the stroke?

[@DanielMaude]

Hi Kevin, it’s like saying what starts your throwing action, it’s a “reaction” to what you are visualising. That’s why I love the 1.2,3, 4 routine

[@paulmorgan5841]

Good video and thx. Constructive criticism- seems like it just takes so long to get to the point. Not here but on most sites. Cut to the chase is a good maxim

I use a mallet putter. Would it be cheating, if I stick a small mirror to the top of the putter?

I don’t think so but might be worth checking out

[@rickpostma7932]

Good training Danny, where was that location? Tell us a bit about gripping the putter perhaps? Cheers from freezing Germany

[@DanielMaude]

That was Princes golf club, lovely location. For me the club runs up the life line of the lead hand and both thumbs run down the centre of the grip

[@talltimball]

That swivel of the neck to look down the line of the putt, both before but especially after impact is not given the exposure it deserves. Olazabal has always been a master at it.

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks Tim

[@therealbonj]

like the 1,2,3,4 sequence - I’ve had good results on distance control with lag putts with making the look back from the target to the ball, and the backswing, into one motion - effectively merging the 2 and 3 of your sequence into one. I don’t do it all the time, but one to try

[@DanielMaude]

Keeps the whole routine flowing

[@billpowell5207]

Great lesson. What is that putting mirror? Looks very helpful

[@DanielMaude]

Type in putting mirror on Amazon and you will find one 👌

[@jamiesloan7259]

This is very good advice for most people. It’s a typical modern setup, and stroke. However, I changed something one day, and had the best putting day of my life. 23 total putts, for a -7(65). I had been struggling to make putts, so I set up like Jack Nicklaus almost as a joke, on the first hole. Feet close together, and feet very open to target. From there, I just sorta pushed the ball onto my start line. The results were amazing. 13 one-putts(some for par). I don’t recommend this for everyone, but it not only allowed me to see my line better, but it also allowed me to start the ball exactly on that line. I’ve since gotten away from it, and have been struggling again. I think I’ll go back to that weird way of putting, and see what happens. lol

[@DanielMaude]

Amazing John

[@PeleHPrada]

Here is a tip from pool I use to put to piggy back off of center of the ball (billiards) over your gaze like you said. Figure out which is your dominant eye. Make a diamond with your hand to just cover everything except a round object in the distance. Now close your left eye and then your right eye. The eye that keep the ball in view is your dominant eye. Now, put that eye over the ball, not your nose nor so it seems to be in the middle. Dominant eye then open both. You will now aim where you meant to and hitting it more square.

[@DanielMaude]

like it, thanks for taking the time to share

[@PeleHPrada]

N.P. I was just scouring if there were any techniques or strategies to incorporate this and actually came across the old school plumb bobbing technique. I haven't tried it out yet, but I will report back. Also, I tried to exaggerate rounding my shoulders more like you said and I found my pendulum to feel more consistent. I typically always pinched my shoulders blades together without noticing. Awesome tip I did not even know I needed! @@DanielMaude

[@AmandaJB-w9c]

Hi Danny, I need your advice re putter. I am petite. I understand putters need to be only half to 1" longer than foot-to-wrist length, which for me is 29”. Unfortunately, there is no putter that measures 30” (most ladies putters measure 32" or 33”), and if I shorten them, I was told by Callaway/Odyssey reps that first, the stroke lab shaft cannot be shortened and second, that even steel shafts if shortened would be messed up due to the change in weight. What would be the best approach to this, stick to the long putter of 32”?

[@habh8r77]

Holy, level shoulders helped right away!! Now going down the rabbit hole is grip selection lol

My putting not too bad. Had a lesson to improve it and the pro said everything was good except I'm not keeping the putter almost flat to the ground back and through. Trying to do that it's hard not to sway off ball and direction and distance control went out the window. Watching you in that video your strike doesn't stay close to the ground. His drill was an extra ball 12 inches behind on the line which I had to make contact with. It's impossible without swaying 🙄. Any advice please? Ps, tell it as it is, I won't say anything to the pro lol.

Also knowing I'm lined up correctly on short putts.
