Mr. One Putt absolutely spot on with these three tips. I have used a 12" ruler for years as a training aide and it simply works. Secondly picking a the spot on the correct putting line is a must to becoming a better putter as your eyes can play tricks on you. There is one other thing that I have found, is that my body alignment sometimes gets off in relationship to the putting line. I hit great putts to the wrong place. My front shoulder is critical and must be positioned and aligned to my putting line. I found myself at times aligning to the hole as opposed to the putting line which results in a missed putt. Please keep these great videos coming!!!! Thank you

All good tips! It should also be mentioned that using a center shafted/face balanced putter is a little different technique than using a toe hang putter. I would also remind golfers that gravity comes into play the minute the ball leaves the face of the putter. As the ball gets closer to the hole, it's moving slower and is therefore more affected by gravity than it is from the start point. If you read six inches of break, you might try adding to that number if your putts tend to fall short and below the hole. On steep breaking putts the front of the hole is actually more to the top side...so aim higher than you think. Good video.

@louislazarus92535 ай бұрын
@@gringo19860 Generally face-balanced putters are for those golfers who putt straight back, straight through. If a golfer has an arced putting stroke, they will normally use a heel-toe putter, much like Tiger Woods Scotty Cameron/Ping Anser style. However, since I've been playing for over 60 years, my general rule is if you find a putter that works for you, never let it out of your sight no matter how it looks, who made it or what it cost.

I too have struggled with pushing short putts. I have found that the usual cause, for me, is looking up, which I often do when nervous. When you start to look up, your left shoulder goes up and the clubface opens. If I remember to keep my head still it doesn't happen. But of course, when you are nervous, it can be hard to remember to do the right thing. The ruler technique will get your eyeballs and alignment dialed in, but you have to find a way to take your practice to the course under pressure. Golf messes with your head.

@honuputters18917 ай бұрын
There is a technique you can use for the speed/distance thing that does not involve total judgement. Use the length of your backstroke to control the distance. On the practice green before a round, roll a few putts, taking the putter back as far as your right big toe (assuming right handed). Step off how far they rolled. So now you know how many steps corresponds to a big toe backstroke. Do the same for middle toe, little toe, one foot width outside of right foot. That will probably get you up to 10 paces or more, depending on the speed the greens are rolling that day. Now when you are on the course, just step off the distance to the hole and use the corresponding backstroke length that you found when warming up. If the putt is uphill or downhill, add or subtract steps from the number that you stepped off. Obviously you will need some adjustments for really long putts but this will get you in the ballpark. It gives you something to do that is a lot more definite than just winging it, which can take off a lot pressure and free up whatever intuition you do have. For this to work, you have to first learn to make a smooth stroke where you always have the same tempo regardless of the backswing length. It won't work well if you tend to take it back too short then try to make up by hitting it hard or soft. That "slap it harder" technique is hard to control under the best of circumstances, so it is worthwhile to learn the smooth-stroke, control the speed with the backstroke technique regardless of whether or not you use the toe calibration or just eyeball it. Another nice thing about this technique is that the calibration step where you are doing big toe, middle toe, etc is pretty good as a warmup. It forces you to observe your backstroke and control it, instead of just going out and doing whatever without really paying attention.
@golfscienceguru7 ай бұрын
Perhaps, it is a hilly course with sever sloping greens, and the greenskeepers cut holes on highly sloping portion of the greens. If so, the approaches will need the ball to stop below the hole for an uphill first putt, if possible. Approaches need to avoid missing on the high sides of the greens that result in chipping or pitching downhill to the flag. One of the Bryan brothers, who plays on the PGA tour, even said that he avoids having to chip or pitch with the wind, if the winds are strong. If the greens are superfast on top of these, it is a totally different putting ball game that is not addressed in the video.

That will give you a little confidence and you can then think about the distance and how much you need to adjust while you’re making your read and then going into your routine and stroke the pot without thinking about distance anymore.

You use a wooden putter but with a metal putter it’s really going to scratch up the bottom and that ruler isn’t it ?
@misteroneputt7 ай бұрын
I don’t drag the putter on the metal ruler. I put the putter face on the equator of the ball and so I’ve been doing it with a ruler like this for seven years using both my current Potter and metal putters in the past and never had an issue.

What does "face rotation" mean? I can imagine a couple of things it could mean.
@misteroneputt7 ай бұрын
Face rotation would mean starting at Square so 90° to the target line rotation would be anything off of that either open or closed. Pros rotate their face 4 to 6° total throughout the stroke and amateurs rotate theirs about 20 throughout the stroke so pros go from three open to three closed and amateurs go from 10 open to 10 closed.
@AdrianArthurBray7 ай бұрын
@@misteroneputt Thank you for clarifying that. Presumably no rotation would be the ideal, but 3 degrees is very little.
@misteroneputt7 ай бұрын
@@AdrianArthurBray exactly. The True Stroke Putting Track has an attachment that goes on your putter when practicing that actually makes it impossible to rotate the face at all. I haven't tried that part of the product, but could see it as beneficial. Alternatively you could tape a couple of popsicle sticks on the outside and inside edges of your putter...running forward and backwards from the face like wings. Then set up between 2 boards or books just barely wider than your putter and make strokes...The popsicle sticks prevent the face from twisting...Develop that feel.

Thank you for the tips. I received my 16 inch ruler today and made my marks. My question is at 15 minutes in video you talk about the target being 3 3/4 inches outside the hole. Then you measure and you put a Tee in at 14 inches outside the hole. Why 14 inches vs. 3 3/4 inches. Probably a stupid question, but most stupid questions have to be asked by someone. I'll be your huckleberry. Thanks.
@misteroneputt5 ай бұрын
@@KeithBergner the 3 1/2 inches comment was simply a hypothetical example off the top of my head. Then the actual putt I showed in the video did have a 14 inch break. Not a stupid question at all. I understand how I created the confusion. One was just a hypothetical for giving you the concept and then the other was an actual real put on the course.

I simply use 2 - 3' long 2 x 4's and putt between those. Use a 3" metal ruler with a small hole in one end, puit the ball in the hole and try to roll it all the way down into the cup. NIce video...just 5 minutes in so far.

We have used a thin metal yardstick 3ft to train our high school golf teams to roll the ball straight into the hole on short putts. It helps get the ball on line for any length put but especially avoids missing those short ones that kill your score.

Mr One Putt did you see the Bob Toski putting secret he demonstrated years back in the final few seconds of a show on the golf channel? The announcer had not a clue what Bob was showing. What he did was drop his left palm down above where the ball and putter path would be. He then took his right hand and slowly swung it well back and came through exactly where it met the stationary left palm.

the mistake in the planning was rolling the ball over the ruler's, whether it's, metal, plastic or wood. no "special" aids can be used in professional play and normally on any home courses. basics rules of play forbid it and the fact that it changes the surface and it the ball started on the grass and hit the end of it this alters the intended path. a side demo next to the ruler would have made it clearer.

Rule 10.B.2 prohibits the alignment aid marker. We have had this discussion many times in Australia. If you do this at my club you will incur a 2 shot penalty. If you do it again you will be disqualified from the match. Balls may be marked. But No one will ever use this alignment marker in professional competition. It is considered cheating. I do not feel you are a cheat. Rule 10.B.2 is often overlooked. Many also feel that a professional golf company would not lead anyone astray, whereas I believe they make mistakes also, and without any deceitful intent. Alignment aids like adjustable ball markers are an instrument of alignment and are in my opinion against the spirit of golf and against the rules. Loved your video though, and I learned a few things. Thank you.
@misteroneputt6 ай бұрын
I hear you. However the maker of the alignment ball mark has letters from USGA PGA and R & A stating it is legal for all play. Agree with you that we should not cheat. And I appreciate your honest and courteous comments. I can see how this aid can be considered a violation of 10.B.2. Not sure how he got it approved
@kentbrown37366 ай бұрын
@@misteroneputt If that is the case, it can only be that the PGA and USGA both consider that the line on a ball working in conjunction with the ball marker do not reveal the line, but that instead the player is still using their skill to select the line of play. I will take this to my club captain for clarification. Thank you for your comments. They have been helpful.
