Amazing to watch, when you see this level of detail, that's why these guys are at the top of their game. Another great video from the European tour

[@user-qq2mo1ek2r]

The detail is incredible. Interesting to watch.

[@blythgolf1724]

More of this please ET

Great stuff Coach! Rosie is the man! Thanks for allowing the mics behind the scenes. LOVE listening in here! Amazing!

[@garyclifford2965]

Enjoyed this

[@KevinSmith-pb6yr]

Bloody hell, I just think pace,this is eye opening 👀

[@joeboyle6728]

Excellent - more of this please. Thanks.

[@PalmSpringsSpinners]

Amazing! More of these please 👍🏼

[@CrackerTrades]

The detail these guys spend on the green compared to an amateur. Night and day.

[@Drewski777]

I want that putting alignment laser

Going from this video to the masters first round.....2021

Great content

Personally, and this probably applies to many other average players, starting a putt on the exact line intended is not difficult, but READING line and pace is a problem for me - capable of getting this _so_ wrong. If this is true for most people then time spent on the putting green would be most profitably spent reading a different putt for every single stroke, in effect focussing on reading different putts, time after time until hopefully something clicks. Here's a seriously effective tip: get hold of a longish builders spirit level and place it so it reads level. Look at it. Does it LOOK level to you? If not there's something you can do to improve your putt reading. Look at the level and tilt your head a little to the left and to the right and you'll find a slight head tilt where the level LOOKS level. This is because one eye is slightly lower/higher than the other. Practise and remember this slight head tilt and use it when visually assessing break. Before doing this I could literally read 2 balls left as 2 balls right - more annoying than whacking a drive OB. This is a proven tip. I hope players suffering this problem see it and benefit from it.

[@egolf8814]

Still the axis putter but a different model….anyone know this model ?

[@KevinSmith-pb6yr]

Lasers, levels,different ball game 👀

Sometimes less is more ... I think this is one of those times.

Yep

Sad comment

[@Align500pro]

This is why the G.O.A.T is the greatest sportsman ever, in his days, he was just PURE feel, no confusion, no self dought, LEGEND, oh BTW, the smallest spirit level EVER...lol

[@kckong3]

wow... and now he's working with Scottie

[@shaunfoy7323]

Too precise for me!!!!

[@RabatzNow]

really interesting

[@flea41]

So 10-20 practice putts 10 mins before my Saturday Club Comp is not going to do it for me?

[@markmcg8309]

Really interesting to watch. The other thing that's interesting to me, is that most of the pros on this green choose to wear shorts. When will the tour emerge from the dark ages and allow all pros to wear them?

[@Drewski777]

For real. What could possibly be wrong with shorts?

[@VG32123]

Watching this just reflects on how distinctly average I am at putting.

[@darrenbyrne5345]

Lazer, Spirit level, chalk line and over analysing the mechanics of stroke he's gone down the rabbit hole... the greatest putters through the years relied on feel, visualisation and a present mind

[@nigelmwilliams7]

What is Phil Kenyon holding & lying on the floor to show Justin?

[@joey5picks]

A laser to show where the putter face is aimed

[@andym28]

So Justins visual perception is slightly off so he needs to compensate for that.

[@williammacdonald9271]

Ugh, putting, comes and goes…even for the best in the world

[@ac.4106]

that's why these guys are making millions...just hope it doesn't add to the slow play.

[@balance3201]

This is not awesome. Way too detailed to get anywhere, coach needs sacking. The best putters are not technically "perfect".

[@bigboy9842]

Exactly

[@jeremyl1417]

You are clueless mate

[@John_Wood_]

It looks detailed at first glance, but the coach appeared clueless and the practice totally unstructured.

[@VG32123]

@@John_Wood_ Very funny.

[@ginge5168]

What a load of 🐂💩 talk about over complicating things, I never understand training aids for putting there like a dummy, if you start crying on the course you can’t have your dummy, I think practicing with feel and your own eye is something that you can actually take on the course, not a level and some lazers

[@brewssssss_]

And how many putts a round do you have?

[@John_Wood_]

Suppose they were turning up the BS for the camera.

[@bigboy9842]

@@brewssssss_ I’m know that Justin rose would destroy him in putting but that’s not the right way of looking at it, even tiger woods has a coach and still gets advice or people who he (woods) would destroy, @ginge is totally right lasers and levels like come on

[@jeremyl1417]

@@bigboy9842 Lasers a re sooo useful though to check the alignment which is the most important thing in putting beside speed control... People are just too scared to use them.

[@matipenny]

amen

[@John_Wood_]

People saying this is detailed and amazing. I'm afraid this is rubbish practice. Little bit of stroke work and alignment is fine, but lose the laser and levels FFS. Rosie needs someone telling him some positive vibes going into a tournament, this guy is nowhere near confident enough to be feeding into a pro of this level.

[@jeremyl1417]

DeChambeau practices way more detailed than that and is a Top10 putter in the world so.... And by the way how do you know that your aiming is good without using a laser or at least a string? I assure you the number one problem in a amateur‘s putting is 90% of the time that s/he is misaligned and NOT the stroke.

[@John_Wood_]

@@jeremyl1417 Bryson's practice might have some structure and planning. This here is just pseudo science at best. Plenty of ways to practice alignment and stroke. But running about the green with a laser and level stinks of snake oil salesman. If this is the level of guru on tour I might change career path!

[@jwild5360]

Phil Kenyon is one of the best putting instructors in the world. Coaches tons of guys in tour. Mcilroy and many others. They are doing very simple stuff that 98 percent of the other guys on tour are doing as well. Slope percentage,(read) aim, start line. All very basic stuff.

[@jeremyl1417]

@@John_Wood_ If you really think that this is « pseudo science » then you should maybe really consider changing career path.

[@John_Wood_]
