I try Bryson DeChambeau's INSANE SIK GOLF PUTTER!

[@peterfinchgolf]

BEEFY BRYSON IS A STONE COLD BALLER...if you know you know! Thanks for watching everyone, whack that like and subscribe button if you haven’t already ❤️

[@woutertabbers8105]

Great video😍

[@bigdogkmc]

Second mortgage would do as well.😊

[@abbott790]

Pete, I've had the most horrific day that I couldn't explain if I tried and you wouldn't believe if I could and then this evening I saw this in my feed and put it on and your friendly character and relaxing style just made it better if only for ten minutes. Thank You for that mate I really appreciate the content especially now. I hope you and your family are all as well and safe as you can be mate x

[@carlcampbell6827]

I don't know if SIK has normal length shafts, but those long shafted putters for me you can forget it. I would not even try it.

[@carlcampbell6827]

I say resounding YES for Scotty Cameron putter!

[@soreloser6018]

Who wants to see Peter commit to this club for a week, and see where his score ends up. 👍 If you agree.

[@johnfish3842]

👍

[@jameslittler4151]

My first year of playing I bought a putter that I knew had won numerous majors (Ping). Ever since then I’ve known if I’m putting badly then it’s me and not the putter. Never bought another putter since. It’s always ME. The money I’ve saved over the years I’ve blown on ale and hookers.

[@peterfinchgolf]

😂

[@glennwatson3313]

And the rest you just wasted right?

[@Karma-qt4ji]

Same here. Been using the same Ping Anser II since 1999 and the only thing I have even done to it was replace the head cover every couple of years and I replaced the grip last year to a SuperStroke. If it works for you, it works for you! Hookers and ale....? "I did not have sexual relations with that woman!!" XD

[@russharden4374]

Rookie, a real golfer drops that savings on hookers and blow

[@stuarttwaite7003]

Think this could be the putter for me,just need a lottery win now⛳⛳

[@masont8128]

Or just play a round of golf against my grandpa

[@jdub1450]

Check out evnroll mid lock putters.

[@Blade4Life76]

Who's here after Brysons win at U S Open

[@Wonderbeast]

I've come to realize... it's really expensive to taste a bit of Bryson's style. A whole new set of irons and a 700$ putter? Oof. Atleast cobra driver and woods are always on sale haha.

[@danielcantu393]

Here after Bryson won the US Open again 🎉

[@DoubleBogeyBass]

I love Bryson's unconventional approach to the game. The fact that he gets such good results doing it "his" way when so many "experts" would say it wouldn't work is refreshing. #swingyourswing

[@seanosullivan7769]

Well tbf “his” way gets to all the same main points the the experts say, he just designed a way that makes it very easy to get to those points and he practiced enough to make it extremely repetitive. He also has a physics degree to back up what he does too

[@paintedwarrior516]

Bryson won the 2020 US Open yesterday, by 6 strokes at one of the most difficult courses in the world

[@bennospijker9737]

Got the Cobra Agera putter ,it has the SIK face , it helps a lot!

[@jaysawyer4651]

Just purchased the SIK DW (2.0) after getting my first putter fitting. Anxiously awaiting the arrival so I can get out on the course. Thanks for this review...

[@jameszaimes7407]

I think this method has its positives for sure but just like most different techniques, it requires practice and commitment. Most likely you will regress before you improve because your body has to unlearn your old muscle memory. Really good video as always Pete.

[@roberteustaquio7614]

i purchased a couple of years a jo prototype slant neck putter from my golf shop. they always support small company golf companies. i saw a review online on them and did my research on them. the putter was listed at $675. nobody purchased them for months. so the golf shop dropped them to $275. sold! great roll, and had it in the bag for 2 years. i still go back to it, when i have putting problems. using the toulan altanta , now.

[@benoitglazer8772]

Hi Pete, Actually, several companies have variable loft on their putter face, they just call it radial roll face, or similar names. Not exactly the same one might say, because those (I built myself a radial Roll a while back) have continuously variable loft (basically like a driver head), as opposed to the 4 sections of the sik putter. Bobby Grace had this design, and a few other companies (Bell, etc...) I quite liked my Radial Roll, but eventually went for a evnroll, because I preferred the weight of it. Keep up the great work, I love your videos.

[@genericconservative]

An adaptation of Bryson principles to my putter (without the SIK head) has really helped my game. I'm sure more people will try it in the future.

[@RickRoubos]

Wasn't the face done by tear drop years ago? The grip style also feels like it's anchoring, removing the wrists from the stroke.

[@k9feces]

I bet they make it illegal

[@markmaioli4]

It Totally is anchoring, not sure why they let it pass as compared to the long putters. Kuchar would be lost without it. As soon as a bunch of young players come on tour using it and light up the greens the USGA will change their minds and ban it.

[@jarrodjob]

This. Alongside of my Adam Tightlies were in my arsenal. Thanks dad for the Teardroo.

[@ianmarshall9461]

I’ve turned my Axis1 Rose putter into an armlock putter and it feels great. I’m actually hitting the sweet spot more then I did at 34”. You have to practise and learn the best position for the ball, but in terms of Mr Finch saying his arms feel tense, that’s through not using it for a period of time. You learn that you can lock it with just the left arm only and put your right hand on very lightly and use it as a guide.

[@kimbo172]

Luving this way of putting just made my own 43 " putter the other day tried it tonight for the first time need a proper arm lock grip but does what it says on on the tin stops the yips

[@vivitoisright382]

DeChambeau is a genius, fun to watch and his thinking out side the box leaves the rest of the world scratching their head.

[@grahamleith2801]

Got my SIK arm lock putter a week ago. Already loving it. Yes it is strange at first but so much easier once you get used to it. They supply a video showing you how to hold, position and use it. Don’t forget you also have to pay import tax on the price you quoted that’s the only downside.

[@grahameturner7415]

So I've gone Odyssey armoock during lockdown. Not quite the same but similar. Have to say I feel great with it but a word of warning it has taken me 12 weeks of lockdown putting everyday at home and the first 4 weeks of playing again to get any sort of settled technique. I think it works but boy does it take work!

[@745theone]

I have actually used Arm Lock Putters when I've been struggling with my normal putter. There was a company called "ArmLockGrips" and they made a fat grip that added loft to belly putters. I had a 2 ball belly I chopped down and a Marxman X Metal with those grips on and I LOVE THEM!!! I don't think I ever made more 5-8 foot putts in my life when I needed them. I think Arm Locking is a great way to practice, gain confidence and just putt better.

[@lets_go_brandon_lee_6198]

After 30 years of playing, got the case of the yipps! Used traditional, lead hand low, and even tried the claw for a bit but nothing seemed to be consistent until I went to the arm-lock method! If it works for you, then you’re doing something right. Had 5 birdies in my last round and I never had more than 2-3 in a round ever!

[@michaelboyd3924]

I tried the Jumbo +3/8" grip. Amazing! I'm 78 years of age. I've gained big yardage. Going to install the JumboMax putter grip soon.

[@nathansteinmetz497]

any type of armlock putting is very good. i recommend. I went armlock about a month ago and before that i was having consistent 3 putts and even some 4 putts. i went armlock and i have maybe 1 or 2, 3 putts a round and that’s on a bad day

[@mikeb1149]

Peter, if you want to investigate a putting system that locks out various body parts, look into the Axys putting system.

[@mathewodonnell8980]

I changed to armlock after being a very poor putter. Can say it takes along time to get use to but if you stick with it's a lot simpler. Less moving parts and completely changed my putting to make it the strongest part of game. Dropped my handicap considerably with none to 1 3 putt a round

[@HoneyColmes]

Aren’t Evnroll putters doing something similar with left to right strikes instead of low and high/ascending descending? The idea is that off center strikes, within reason, travel as far as center strikes.

[@stephenholbrook5908]

I’m a huge Bryson fan. I even play one length clubs. Everything Bryson does with his swings is intended to imitate (as closely as possible) what swing machines do. Everyone gauges consistency in clubs based on the results from swing machines that have no variation in swing. So, he does all he can with his equipment and technique to swing just like the machines.

[@Chad_Aucoin]

i do something similar but my right hand is just below my left elbow to stabilize the grip on my forearm even more and i really do enjoy that technique

[@razor7241]

I’ve tried the arm long technique with a Matt Kuchar putter. Pretty good on shorter putts but had trouble with distance control. However, the big negative was that was EXTREMELY hard on my bad back so couldn’t use it if I wanted to.

[@nceebee6859]

Does it not have the same intent as anchoring a long putter?

[@M.Westen]

I would not use it personally, while I understand the value of consistancy in your motion will allow for a more uniform stroke, I can't help but wonder if it comes at the cost of feel. I have not tried the setup so I would not know for sure, but similiar to other aspects of golf such as fitting, where the look (Confidence) and feel of a club sometimes takes presedence over a raw calculated approach based in metrics alone, I think locking out all range of motion from a swing with a putter might have many players uneasy with the feeling of the stroke.

[@GSHOCKOUTDOORS]

Just picked up an Odyssey 7 version of this (used to have a 7s) and so far in impressed. It’ll take a bit of getting used to , especially the right hand, but it feels far better than anticipated.

[@super20dan]

try the brooks kafka grip, fore finger down the shaft. best putter grip there is

[@tylerjonmorrison4414]

Hey Peter, great channel. Thanks! I certainly believe you will see more touring pros and therefore more amateurs getting cozy with this putting style in the days and years to come. We've already seen this style adapted by (of course, the original "arm-locker") Kuchar but now also we've seen Bubba play events with this style, Webb Simpson, Charl Schwartzel, David Drysdale, Jazz Janewattananond, and many more.

[@tylerjonmorrison4414]

...also, I'll check back in with you and Rick in the next few months and perhaps build you each an arm lock putter but to your specs: perhaps something 69°-72° lie and 2°-3° forward shaft lean with an elongated pistol grip, and you'd be surprised at how comfortable this style can feel.

[@daddymatty5869]

The stance and arm position look like a continuation of his swing with driver & irons. Consistency with swing is def his thing & this falls right in step with his ideas of reducing as many variables as possible... sounds great but I'm still not dropping $700 on a club

[@BengaliJoddha]

Man, you are the wisest of all in the comment section..❤️ 'continuation' point is overlooked..

[@dannybelch21]

Been using the odyssey armlock putter since back end of last year.....big improvement and exactly what you said, less to go wrong once mastering the technique 👍

[@andymincer2127]

My stepson made that SIK putterhead. Genius milling accomplishment.

[@Jernation]

Would you take the sik in standard of your newport

[@jessegranzow806]

I would try it i think it would reduce my putts a great deal

[@hawkey100]

What are the greens running at ? 6 ?

[@brettharris628]

Do you get to keep the putter? Cos it will be interesting to see if a few bad putting rounds and it suddenly finds its way into the bag.

[@redknight1825]

A friend of mine does archery. He told me that; over the years the technology of arrows and bows have advanced enormously. However, it seems that it is the person using the bow that still makes the difference of who make the olympic team. It is the archer, not the arrow, that matters.

[@CosmicApe]

The beauty of armlock is that it makes it nearly impossible to push or pull a putt. It eliminates that variable. All the golfer needs to focus on is alignment and speed. Distance control will come naturally as you practice more and more with armlock and get comfortable with it. So, in the end, you only need to focus on aim. Being able to eliminate variables like that in golf has got to be an advantage, especially under pressure.

[@Dan_Kornfeld]

You’re not missing the putt, the ball is just being responsible, and social distancing itself from the cup! Keep doing what you do!

[@thechado7868]

Well now he is are National Champion winning the US Open yesterday, I wanted to try his putter someday and style of putting to see if it helps with my game also lol I can't even offord a decent set of irons, putter and a driver. I have to use a Power Circle set sadly

[@theelmagoo]

So if you combined this face with the Evnroll face, ultimate putter? Also every time you missed a putt on the circle drill, you stand up, look to the side, and scratch the side of your nose. :) Bryson's style of putting is an interesting one, but my question would be how much is he focused on the mechanics / muscles / internal feelings, as opposed to being task focused (just thinking about putting the ball down the line with the right tempo)? I know my putting goes to poop when I start focusing on things like "just use the shoulders... keep the arms locked" etc.... My putting dramatically improves when I just focus on tempo of stroke, and then focus on hitting through the ball down the start line (so nothing internal, just the putter head going all the way through the ball to avoid any chance of decelerating). Basically I'm focused on a task and letting my brain do the work. Bryson looks so locked up and stiff that it doesn't allow his brain to make the subtle corrections needed to perform the task.

[@gazowens2755]

Does locking the grip against your arm not count as anchoring?

[@mattdipadua3614]

You need to try that shaft with the flo head slant neck has changed my game

[@muffin0079]

I just sold my bettinardi armlock putter struggled with distance control. Gone to the same putter as you spécial select Newport 👌🏻

[@deucerogers4600]

buy and review superstroke wrist lock grip please would love to see a review

[@24735561]

I’ve tried this and locking putter to right forearm(similar to what BLanger tried) but now on claw grip and I’m actually starting to make putts more frequently. As others have mentioned it takes practice and getting worse before better and can’t afford that for my hcp👍

[@ginge5168]

Hi Pete just curious on why your thumb is cut off your glove ? Is it for training purposes ? 👍🏻🏌🏻‍♂️

[@Briggsy19]

Thanks for the video

[@justins2407]

I’ve tried the arm lock, with the bettinardi kuch model and just couldn’t do it. It’s way to rigid and I feel like there is no feel in the stroke. Obviously most if not all people will say the wrist “should” be completely locked in which for the most part I agree, but that little bit of hinge/lag in the stroke I feel gives you a tag edge on touch outside of 10’. Most will say well if you can’t make a 5 footer you won’t score and this is true, but if you can’t get a 10/15/20/30 footer inside of 3’ you’ll be struggling to walk off with your par a lot more than I’d like. That’s why I have two putting strokes lol sounds dumb but it works, inside of 15’ super rigid and locked in. Outside of 15’ an open stance more flow (y) stroke for feel not so focused on line but speed 🤙🏻

[@GregMooreGooglePlus]

Just got a new Evnroll putter. First putt using it was 30'. Sunk it! I used the $400 savings to buy 3 graphite RTX4 wedges.

[@carlharrison8574]

Be really interesting to see if other companies follow suit with the graduated loft on the face as that seems to make alot of sense.

[@jeremyl1417]

Carl Harrison the descending loft technologie its patented by sik

[@kourt2469]

There have been many companies the use roll on their putters over the years which is basically the same think sik putters is doing. Don't know if you'll ever see a major OEM do it though.

[@chrishartman5383]

Fun video Pete, thanks for the great content!

[@RayGorman2261]

Not a new idea for me. I just didn't have the Golf media following my every move back in the late 90's. I had issues with my left wrist breaking down and getting 'flippy', so I held the putter further down the grip and had the end of the grip about 4 inches above my left wrist against my forearm. (Another reason I can't wear a watch while playing) Returned my stroke to a one piece takeaway and follow through and started making more putt almost immediately.

[@Iron_headify]

U tha mon Pete. Cool review

[@caddismaster]

THE difference is commitment, plain and simple, your stroke actually looked more solid with the SIK armlock putter. Don't be afraid that it might actually work for you with some good practice.

[@sg5733]

Have an odyssey armlock in the bag this season. Struggling to adapt to it to say the least. Putting is so bad it's my last resort.

[@TheNameYahuwah]

How do you order this putter?

[@joshuagaughan2902]

Did they change the loft since his setup means that the putter starts with a fairly massive forward press? I know the putter has a variable loft design but I wonder if it was adjusted accordingly.

[@peterfinchgolf]

Yes it has a set loft of 7 degrees which when pushed forward changes! Lofts everywhere!

[@davidglendinning8457]

3-4 seasons now I've been using either a arm lock converter grip on first a Daddy Long Legs and now a X7M Scotty. Also tried the odyssey double wide arm lock, not as keen on that as it gave me pain in the elbow. Don't think I could ever go back

[@brianmcpeake2509]

It looks nice but I'm too traditional in my putting to change. I have a Scotty too and use the claw grip from 5' and in.

[@rasputin01121981]

Is it wrong/unwise to use two different putting grips? Left-hand-low inside 20ft, Interlock outside 20ft!

[@sebastiannachilly500]

Pete the most expensive putter you've ever held was by far Peter Uihlein's scotty at Woburn. That one's worth probably north of $6k

[@mattrichardson8558]

Pete, is your putter is 39” long? It looks much much shorter than that..

[@hackandslash873]

What about the old Teardrop putter face?

[@mfaceman2261]

I think the descending lofts are an interesting concept maybe other putter manufacturers will jump on board if they have not already.

[@bigboy9842]

Good work pete

[@felixeur1276]

I got my dad's old original Ping Anser putter and I am putting pretty well

[@gavin6535]

Hi Pete, glad you’ve started reviewing clubs 👍🏻 enjoying the vids

[@michaelb1303]

I think the putters have to be tested on greens with speeds similar to what the pros experience. I may be wrong, but the practice green looked like it was stimping around 8 while the pros are 11-14.

[@matthoward123]

Pete you forgot the main Bryson technique. Spend at least 2 minutes over each putt. Add one minute for each ten feet.

[@DoubleDoglegGolf]

SIK putter mate! Bryson takes easily 10 minutes each read the green before putting, i wonder if that helps. Cool being able to know and practice using different putter grips Pete. As long as you don't get to a point where you are changing grips mid-putt during a tournament.

[@jaydilley7064]

I got lucky and ordered a Sik Lo prototype (ping zing 2 type blade model) putter last year, simply DM through Twitter to Sik and they sent invoice and I got putter with Bryson red white and blue jumbo max grip, length I specified and lie angle also, all for $350.. So there are other options than this model!

[@student-georgewoodhead4070]

Good video love you

[@mikethewhizz5085]

Me and my Dad are just the opposite; we like simple putters that allow for freedom with swing style, even though I used to study physics and now engineering

[@matthewcosta6881]

KZbin’s captions producing gold again Bryson the shambo at it again

[@k-nick97]

I can take take 9+ minutes to stare at then miss a 6' putt for a lot less than $750, thank you very much. (But in all seriousness, he's a monster of a player, and I can totally see the advantages of the technique.)

[@daddyharry6065]

It’s not so much the putter here used but instead the style/method of how one does actually putt with that makes the difference.

[@damienhudson8842]

think you need to check your tape measure pete, that shaft is never 39 inches long, i always chop mine down to 33 inches as it gets my posture much better. are you fitted for the scotty or is it standard off the shelf?

[@nickhemming9326]

I just got that putter, apart from mine has the sight line on the bottom. Feels great on my carpet😂

[@59BigWalt]

How about his irons and driver.

[@billystephens3149]

Great video Pete! Were did you get it from?!

[@jordiman7]

Been thinking of trying this putting method myself, finding the opportunity would be perfect! Great video Peter 👌

[@jimmydelrio8662]

I put with a ver close stance, ball on my left foot, putter grip 5 degrees to the right. Pretty weird. But it works for me.

[@George-ld9xu]

I think a testing session isn’t going to do this thing justice. It’s a question of if you buy into the theory and take the time to practice and adjust your muscle memory to how the putter feels and train the gross motor movements of your shoulders to do the work and develop the touch for the speed control you need. Choosing the line doesn’t change.

[@Brickktopp]

Finchy boi ....... whats best putter l.a.b directed force ,sik or evnroll ? I struggle with any putt within 10 foot the closer it gets the worse it gets 😂

[@scottmaulo1968]

Pete make a video of how you can make a version of this putter cheaper

[@scanepa]

Pete, did you put in 20 lbs for the video? Awesome content. Thx

[@kjc9293]

Interesting with the lofts on the face!!!

[@domjesper4802]

Literally just been looking at these putters, would love to try one

[@mikereed3287]

I am REALLY SURPRISED that this is not considered "anchored" putting within the rules of golf.

[@shaunpassleyphd2194]

where can I buy one?
