Body mechanics means the body and arms want to turn so if you bend over and let your left elbow take the same line as your wrists it will stop your wrist rotating. That is putting with your left elbow pointing down your through the Stoke. Press your stomach from the inside against your belt buckle and it will isolate any leg or hip movement .muscle tension has to be right for distance feel lightly gripping for better feel down hill lighter grip up hill tighter grip. Use De Chambeau's method ie hold your putter infront of you over the ball the other end over the hole then move it according to the break so you identify the line,pick a mark or spot 2 ft or less aka bowling alley style where you take aim at the markers at the begining of the lane same in golf get the ball starting on the right line it is going to stay on that line. Feel is most important the right tension so you don't over hit or under hit. Practice putting try not to putt from the same place twice change more times in the real game no two puts are the same.

Fun fact, I once viewed an Asian lady in her mid 20's at a practice putting green in Ca. I was on the putting green for about 30-45 minutes, then I went to the chipping area for about 30 minutes and then I went to the driving range for 45 minutes. The ENTIRE time I did all that, she went around the putting green with only 3 balls and shooting 3' and 4' putts. Over and over and over and over and over and over again. I'd say for at very minimum 2.5 hours. I went up and asked her why she was putting from such short distances. She told me she was a professional and that was where the money was in putting and making sure she can make those putts no matter what without even trying. I was shocked.

[@SagutoGolf]

Being automatic with those three and four footers is critical to regularly getting up and down from off the green as the pros do. There's a lot of learning to be taken from your comment, so thanks for sharing that valuable lesson! (And kudos to you for even spending a half-hour on the practice green. That's far more than most do!) Tom

[@GaleHybarger]

I tightened my grip on my putter today after watching your grip video. I one putted 5 times and many of those were 10 to 12 foot putts. The other four, we’re only two putts! thank you.

[@SagutoGolf]

That's *OUTSTANDING,* Gale! I'm thrilled to know that this putting lesson performed well for you. Thanks so much for validating it with your success and keep up the great work!! Tom Saguto, PGA

One of the guys I play with every once in a while is a legitimate pga card carrier. First time and every time... he makes 15 footers almost always. He rarely ever misses a putt. When they say the worst putter on tour is the best putter you have ever seen, I know they are not kidding

[@SagutoGolf]

Yep - that is absolutely the case!!

[@LEV1ATHYN]

PGA players make 50% of 8-ft putts. 23% from 15 feet.

[@gcoffey223]

I wish I could make 25% of 8 foot putts myself. Point is, barr none, that guy is the best putter I personally know. Best to ya, got a tee time in a few hours so... gotta get ready for the range!!!

[@MrJamescord]

Can you do a 30 yard to 75 yard wedge video? Thanks!

[@raygivler]

Love the channel. Unless my math is off, if the cup is 4.25" in diameter, you have 2.125" over 36" and the arc tangent of that is about 3.4 degrees, which is still very little room for error.

[@michaelkrailo5725]

Some folks have vision issues or line problems due to wearing glasses. There is a distortion as to where the real line is due to wearing glasses. This causes me to miss it on the right side consistently unless I aim left of the hole and trust that my vision is not seeing the correct line. I have tried to use intermediate target and that works as long as don't lose the spot. It's real easy to lose the spot though. The only other thing that has worked for me is drawing the line on the ball and lining it up to the intended line. That works.

[@GaryPattonRealtor]

Took the Oath. Haha. Love your KISS Golf method.

[@SagutoGolf]

LOL!! Thanks - I'm glad you're enjoying my teaching style!! TS

[@jimsaddler942]

Tom, I'll just say a few things: A) I've never had a put on my home course with a green as flat as your carpeted floor! I say that, because most of my trouble with short putts are: 1) How much break is there in this putt? 2) How much break do I play? and 3) How hard/soft do I hit the putt based on the break? Also, B) Please take this as a compliment and not an insult: I definitely like your golf shoes better in these older videos, than the ones in your more recent videos, but that's just my OCD kickin' in! 🙂 What's most important is that I am a SagutoGolf subscriber and watch ALL your great videos!

[@nasiruddin-zq6ik]

Dear Tom. which putting grip is best for better put? If you please share a video of this. Thanks

[@SagutoGolf]

The putting grip is a highly individual thing. It’s all a matter of what feels good and performs best for you. If you are referring to how to grip it, then have some fun at a practice green experimenting. If, on the other hand, your question is about the grip on the putter, visit a golf shop with a variety of options and….have fun experimenting! Me personally? I really like the big Super Stroke grip on my custom-fitted Edel putter. Tom

[@danrobinson1563]

Very good Tom. No rotating of the arms! For overall putting, do you feel the Sik armlock putter that Bryon uses is worth it?

[@SagutoGolf]

Glad you enjoyed the video, Dan! Sorry - I've not tried the Armlock putter so I can't offer any advice in that regard. However, I do strongly recommend a professional putter fitting. Cheers! Tom

[@kenpowers3206]

Great tip Tom you are fun to watch!.. and this is a Kenny Powers (real name) putting alighment tip: I've known this for a long time, but standing to the side of your putting line can create an optical illusion where your perspective results in a slightly closed or open face. To alleviate this I move the putter slightly closer to my feet or further based on the way my practice putting results. I sometimes have a friend line me up before I putt until the line appears straight and my practice strokes result in a true straight stroke.

[@SagutoGolf]

I appreciate your kind words, Ken, and it sounds like you've got an effective routine for getting your putting stroke locked down out prior to a round!! Cheers! Tom

[@loveroftruth8148]

The clubface isnt the problem for me, its my stroke path. I have this over the top loop i do. Any tips??

[@FadhillIjin]

Awesome tip...

[@dineshvora4705]

Wonderful

[@SagutoGolf]

Glad you enjoyed this putting tip, Dinesh!! Tom

[@scottproctor2112]

I see how not keeping the clubface square and keeping the hands very quite is the best thing to think about when putting. The only thing I use to show me if I'm putting straight is by using gray's golf. It's a long steel piece that I use on my indoor putting green. It's a good thing to use before going to play to make sure your hitting the ball with a square clubface.

[@SagutoGolf]

I'm glad this old lesson from the archives resonated with you, Scott, and thanks for sharing your putting practice aid! Tom

[@GayleGrantDocGrant]

Makes complete sense..ESPECIALLY if you can't practice as much as a tour pro.

[@loveroftruth8148]

What about if the issue isn't the clubface. It's this over the top loop I have in my stroke.

[@SagutoGolf]

Well, then you've got to figure out a grip, technique, and/or drill that is going to neutralize that loop! Sounds like the practice green is calling your name... 😎
