I get a Lesson from the WORLDS BEST Putting Coach (Brad Faxon)

[@annettelavallo4911]

I feel like I just took a $1000 private putting lesson with Brad Faxon. Incredible teacher and you are a great student, Rick! This was awesome. Thank you, Brad, for being so generous sharing your knowledge and thank you, Rick, for bringing this video to us!

[@ericschroeder8932]

100%

[@LAB_FarmClub]

This is 100% the best instructional video in the history of golf. Rick I’m a huge fan of yours and I’m thankful that through your hard work and dedication of all these years, you’ve been able to provide all of us with a phenomenal golf lesson by brad! Thanks Rick!

Yup!!!!

[@barneyd9785]

Agreed.

[@davidlammermeier4884]

Terrible video. What’s his point

[@Tomshanksit]

20 Minutes in and I have already learned more than I have putting alone for 2 years. This is fantastic and Brad really is as good as people say...

[@nuttaporndixon-jones3912]

That was the same with me but I have been playing for 8 to 9 years and this is the best lesson thanks Rick thanks Brad

[@carlcampbell6827]

Faxon in my opinion is far above anyone in knowledge, probably even professionals. I could spend a life time trying to retain all this information on putting. I confess the next time I go out, I will probably forget a lot of what Brad shared here.

[@tedharman5354]

Probably the most important 40 minutes of video you’ve ever produced. This will be on my replay list forever. Thanks Rick and thanks Brad!

[@Ravenaven23]

These actual lesson videos are the most informative golf videos I've ever seen. After the first I've been able to hit my drive 250 avg after going 2 years without hitting it because I couldn't get more than a couple feet off the ground. Thank you so much for taking us down this journey with you. It's going the help countless golfers. Keep it up!

[@Dude0000]

Try Golf Sidekick if you want to learn about course management and scoring well for amateur golfers. He’s the best for that, and pretty charismatic too, but with a style all of his own. He played Pebble Beach, which was great to watch, but usually just plays local courses in Thailand. He’s South African, though. Even has lectures, which are good, serious, but a bit tongue in cheek to lighten them up.

[@alecj3454]

There is a wonderful feeling of joy, like being a kid and having total confidence in what you are being told by your grandpa or elder, sort of aura about Brad Faxon. Every word makes perfect sense, and his beautiful interaction with you as a person cannot be stressed enough. This is what teachers are like, at their best. Its what the good ones were like when i was young. I wish each of us had a Brad Faxon for every subject in school, and every new skill in life. We would be better off, as humanity.

[@sparkdog44]

That interaction was/is really wonderful. Goes to show you Mr. Faxon's level of experience.

[@nicholasvandepeer-boxall2923]

Am I the only one that goes for a golf lesson and feels relaxed and confident when I leave, ready to take home my new found knowledge and improve. Then when it comes to practicing the next day i've forgotten it all? Having a video like this is so good for a gentle remind when I come to practice! Thank you for uploading Rick!

[@2321brendan]

Take a small notebook and pen to lesson.. Write down the drills and relevant info. Keep the notebook in your bag. Why spend $$ on golf lessons only to rely on memory to practice whats been taught? You can then refer back to it months-years late. Also good to keep written results of training games and stats to watch improvement.

[@ghostgeorgevi6909]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@imhotepnixon]

When I was a kid first getting into the game my coach had my write down the five biggest things I learned that day wasn’t just a reference but also helped me remember

[@Davidevans44]

OMG... After nearly 50 years playing off 5 handicap and below this is truly the most informative video or lesson I have seen/heard. Thanks Rick for making yourself vulnerable, and goodness how to thank Brad!

You Were always a crap Putter. Have you still got that Ping Putter. Tony Single Putt Taylor

Wow what an insight into putting. When the weather improves in Glasgow the practice putting green is getting some serious attention. Imagine a free lesson from Brad

[@AlexYrv]

He just scratches the surface of his putting knowledge. Thanks for the lesson 👏

[@steveince6732]

The best coaching I ever had was delivered with “warmth” and a human connection. Actually feeling a bit emotional watching this! Quality.

[@bigkatspoker]

Remember you 1% that are finding the negatives to this video, he may not be the greatest channel but he just brought us amazing content- love the wisdom we just got. Congrats on your work to be in position to have this kind of knowledge from my couch.

[@xerodeus2337]

I think the coolest part about this lesson, is none of it was really about the actual mechanics of the golf swing. Because Rick's a pro, he knows how to hit a putt. But the sort of mental component and spending so much time about how to get to the ball and feel comfortable. Can't wait to see how this plays out in Break 75!

[@charliec.3140]

Brad is half instructor and half psychologist. It’s amazing.

[@SyedFaizalAlYahya]

i love brad faxon...growing up n see his putting...i hv to agree he is awesome when putting on the green when ever he played in the big tournament

[@Harnesk36]

One of your best videos. What a great "teacher" Brad is! Such a calm and harmonious trainer. I had the privilege of listening to Annika Sörenstam once and she said that she always thought that "I always put more than half of these putts" 51% chance of it going in... A good focus when you feel nervous and are unsure about the putting…

[@leeschaeffer3209]

One of the keys for any teacher is to be able to communicate well to the student. A lot of instructors- of any subject- are more interested in trying to impress people with their knowledge than in actually teaching the student. Brad seems to be relatable and genuinely interested in having his pupil actually learn something and to improve. Awesome video!

[@richardsdiaz1]

Rick: I just wanted to offer you a sincere thank you for this video from the bottom of my heart! This is easily the best golf KZbin video on putting I have ever watched! I can think of no better way to describe this than to say that your interaction with Brad Faxon in this video is pure gold. I am completely wowed by this content. I have been a + 3 handicap until recently, I am now a 1 and climbing... injuries/illness. I am a +5 at putting according to ARCCOS. Even so, I have learned so, so, much from this one video! This ammounts to a free lesson with one of the all time greats, which is somehting that I will never get the chance to do in person. I can tell you with a great deal of confidence that my putting is going to get even better because of this video. Beyond that, and more importantly, I am raising 2 junior golfers who will benefit from this even more than this old, washed up, has been will. :0) Thank you so much for this video!

[@johnmcalinden4293]

That really threw some light on what putting is really about. Brad is both inspirational and confidence inducing. I loved it.

[@zachzeilinger4019]

That was the best half hour lesson Ive seen on putting. I help a 7-11 year old youth PGA junior team. This video will be lesson #1 when we get started in April. There are so many little things, I bet I rewatch it 5-6-7x How valuable of experience from 1 of the greatest PGA putters of all time, Brad Faxon. We're all pulling for you Rick. Relax and putt like a kid and watch so many more fall in 2023!

[@gregwilliams9658]

Rick, this might be the most helpful and interesting video you have ever done. I really think I have learnt a lot from this and really believe I can get my putting better from this! You lucky boy to film this with Brad! Incredible!

[@drew7319]

One of the best quotes for putting ive ever been told is this " you can make every putt you take BUT you wont hole every putt you take " it was very mind blowing to me and it freed me up with my approach and i stopped getting upset with myself with the outcome

[@BuckMcAntlerson]

No other huge KZbin golfer would allow an open window into their weaknesses in the game like you do. This is what separates you and what endears your audience. And it allows us to be a part of your golf journey ⛳. (which never ends!)

[@Dude0000]

I disagree. Everyone I watch do more than Rick. Golf Mates, Golf Sidekick, Matt Fryer…they all do. I think Rick has done a great job of marketing himself and seams natural and approachable on camera. But he’s a driving range teaching professional, the bottom of the pro hierarchy, and would probably have a 2-4 handicap. He has to be open about his weaknesses as his peers would pillor him if he wasn’t. I could see his reverse pivot and handsy fast arms in his swing from the first few videos I saw, and his mechanical, unnatural uncomfortable putting stroke is obvious to anyone who’s played to a low single figure handicap and better for a while.

[@johndavies6427]

Great comments buck I agree

[@gregmeakin8363]

Was thinking the same thing. Very humble. The internet can be a cruel place, so to discuss your weakness and receive help openly is a great example to us all

[@bazgreenall5437]

That video was so helpful to me. When you were asked to find a straight put uphill and it went to the right, he asked you which way you had to move the ball and you went to the right. I would of gone to the left. As you can imagine putting isn't my strong point. Such a helpful video.

Brad talks - to use a phrase - absolute gospel. His advice is as sage as it gets and the approach he took to assessing what your impression of the green was and how you interpret the results was just class. What a great video to share with the world. Fantastic.

[@ozzie_golf1157]

As Brad calls it…the putting IQ is so important and I realise how much I’m lacking in IQ! A fantastic insight into how much work the top level golfers have to put in and how much information they have going on on a putt! Unbelievable video Rick! Excellent 👌🏻

[@chriskincaid4219]

Met Brad Faxon many years ago at Wentworth on the pro am day (as a spectator) during the Toyota world match play. We talked as we walked the round with him. We were allowed to walk the fairway with him. We chatted about his upcoming Ryder cup chances. Really nice chap !

[@bazzaclarky7445]

That. Was. Magnificent! Brad is absolutely brilliant at what he does, and has so much passion for putting it oozes throughout the video. Rory seems to have chosen well there! I might have to watch this video on repeat a few times too, just to make sure I can remember some of the nuggets Brad fed us with throughout. 👌

[@mesillahills]

"You have to give up control, in order to gain control". Boy is that ever true. That's when I FINALLY became a good short putter. This was also advocated by Paul Azinger on a golf telecast. Another good way of developing this is use Tiger's right hand only drill which he does constantly. It helps you to learn how to give up control and go under (unrotated) with your hands. Remember this. A putter has exactly zero propensity to twist when it is moving under it's own inertia alone, or RELEASED. And that is what you are doing. Crenshaw used an ultra light grip too and insisted on feeling the weight of the club swinging. I went from a horrible short putter to tour level. Giving up control of the putter defies human nature, but it works. Brad is handing you the SECRET of his success.

[@stratovani]

An outstanding lesson from one of the greatest putters ever. The one thing that bums me out right now is that I won't be on a practice putting green until April at the earliest. However, I have saved this video in my Golf Videos folder in the saved videos section of my KZbin channel. I will be reviewing this over and over again every chance I get, and taking notes as well.

[@landrytaylor2725]

Man is so full of knowledge he’s overflowing. Crazy how much info he fit into this lesson.

[@Dave64DGB]

Another great insight and as with Claude, everything Brad says makes sense and is in a way far less mechanical and more feel and fluidity. The importance of a pre shot routine for all shots that is consistent is another key thing that you see many people don’t have and loved the tips of making that fluid also through even small movements. Two powerful lessons that must have been great to have experienced but you’ve also done a fantastic job with the team to capture them so that we can all take something away from them. Great job again 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@golfbbqandwatches]

Brad is just amazing. My dad took me to a tournament in Australia when I was under 10 years old. I remember us following Brad for a number of holes. My dad told me to watch him putt, because even my dad knew Brad was a world class putter. Such a humble guy, he’s the Professor of Putting.

[@drsimonds]

Thank you for being so vulnerable Rick! You make us feel good knowing even YOU don’t know it all. Keep it up!!!

[@BigAlby]

I use the Blast Golf device all the time for my practice. Brad gives great advice in his videos for Blast and using that device has truly helped my putting.

[@shaun34]

That was an invaluable lesson from one of the best putters of all time. The amazing thing was how much we can all take from that even though we weren’t the ones receiving the lesson. I would also say that without even realising it I was amazed how much of that I am already doing exactly like what Brad says. Putting is the best part of my game by far and maybe this is why. So it was good to hear so much fantastic tips from Brad and that he was so willing to share this with everyone. I could also instantly see the improvement in Rick’s putting stroke once he relaxed and followed what Brad was telling him. He definitely thinks way too much while he putts and you can see it all going through his head and he talks himself out of the putt before he even hits it. I hope to see the improvement now if he can follow what Brad told him. Thanks for filming this for us all Rick, it was amazing.
