The BEST Putting Golf Tip Ever! THIS IS NOT A JOKE

[@philipbaddeley9163]

Steve, not tried this yet but I started to look at the hole instead of the ball 12 months ago, distance perception/control improved massively. Why look at the ball anyway, you’ve set up properly, just rock your shoulders. When you throw a ball to someone, you look at them, not your hand. Similar topic really - be target focussed, less on technique! Excellent as always.

[@SalvationIsEasy-op2qs]

Because contact can vary which is why all pros look at the ball w every club...

[@jsant24]

I’ve actually been doing this for a few months now after watching Paul Wilson’s video No Problem but wiggles his putter back then strikes the ball. Same thing as this bouncing you’re doing here. It really does work! It’s amazing.

[@simonthorpe6971]

I saw Paul's video last year and it's strange but it works! I got so rigid thinking putter had to go back in the perfect fashion, killed any feel I had! So glad it has been further promoted, great stuff Steve.

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Amazing tip

[@simonthorpe6971]

@@stevejohnstongolf I don't bounce, I do an out then in swirl. Principle brilliant tho

[@michaeladams2624]

Brilliant as always, well presented in a humorous and knowledgeable way, Will be trying this time I'm up at the course.

[@stevejohnstongolf]

You won’t regret it Michael 👍👏🏻👏🏻

[@markkelly7233]

Can’t wait to try this!

[@JimmyHall-xc7xj]

Hi Steve tried the new putting practice with the bounce all I can say is amazing results . I was actually going to buy a new putter before I tried this drill played a comp on Saturday and had 25 putts 9 single putts on front nine again amazing thanks for the great content and tips Jimmy

[@tjvbham5831]

I'll have to remember to experiment with this technique this weekend. Thanks, Steve.

[@stevejohnstongolf]

You won’t regret it👍

[@poohbear4130]

I knew as soon as you said Paul, I use this putting practice drill from Paul’s channel! People believe this actually works!!!

[@stevejohnstongolf]

It’s amazing

[@davidflinn7516]

His drill is the best putting drill out there, I do like how you improved the explanation with the bounce lingo Alright we're on now!

[@stevejohnstongolf]

@@davidflinn7516 thanks. Right, we’re on!

[@fluffywebber7105]

I like this. I always have to remind myself that golf is athletic. I try to imagine on irons, or woods to hit like I am trying to one-time a goal in hockey and AIM.

[@noelharrison9094]

Tried this with some suspicion. Though you were just a great putter but it has really helped. Thanks again Steve for another top tip

[@keithhodson7352]

Will try tomorrow

[@stevejohnstongolf]

It’ll work👍

[@marcusgeorge1825]

An interesting concept Steve. I’ll be giving this a go prior to my next round at my home course as I have more than enough data to compare this against. 👍😎🇦🇺

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Let me know how you get on. 👍

[@marcusgeorge1825]

@@stevejohnstongolf Hi Steve, I honestly was a bit sceptical at the start so I put more effort into this and now with 3 full putting practices before each round all I can say is it works! A bit of background for me. A 50 year old golfer who has been playing since I was 8 and still have a mid single handicap. I’m a straight back and threw (using a Spider GT designed for this style) and my improvement was around 15% on accuracy. The first round didn’t see any difference. Hence why it’s taken time to respond as I wanted to keep trying it on the practice green so I didn’t tap tap during any rounds. The last round was with the club captain at my home course and he commented that my putting stroke just looked more relaxed and much more consistent. Thank you so much for this game changer tip as I now am more relaxed and confident with putter in hand. Just another golfer still learning on ways to improve. Cheers mate, Marcus.

[@richardalderson8745]

Excellent video, love that putter aswell.

@@stevejohnstongolf, is it your gamer, or do you use it only for the drill?

[@stevejohnstongolf]

[@willemdewaal1127]

@@stevejohnstongolf , i use the Scotty Del Mar. Will try this drill to get my strike better. I am so focused on to much or to little arc that i forget to just stroke the putter.

[@deviusfeilds]

I tried 'bouncing' parallel to the target rather than perpendicular last round. Putted out of my skin. It worked for me

[@stevejohnstongolf]

That’s amazing, well done 👍

[@colindeans5972]

Chipped in twice using this, cheers! Greenkeeper hates me though.

[@ScotsSilver]

😲🤯 I also find carrying a lucky ball marker helps with putting too 😁

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Me too, I use mine but in my plastic case

[@johnm7414]

According to Shotlink… At 33 feet PGA tour pros begin to 3 putt more than they 2 putt. Top amateur golfers, same stat at 25 feet.

[@Boulderbass]

Steve, have you worked with heads-up technique? Some parallel ideas I think

[@mcfly2727]

Likey!!!! 👍👍👍👍

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Me too likey!

[@gerdamarsh]

I've tried this before, it does work

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Yes yes yes

[@rayhodel8069]

I'll be trying as well, my putting needs help!

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Go for it

[@BruceMethven]

I did. Steve I think your vids are great. You've straightened out my driver now working on irons. But method for putting is the most Not for me is what I am saying. Bounce just doesn't cut the mustard

[@benhikingoutdoors1632]

What happen to the LAB putter?

[@fraserbarnes9607]

You just made more 30 footers than I have in 35 years 😂

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Get bouncing!!!

[@colinbrown1321]

Might try that for my full swing. What's that putter?

[@henrylockhart589]

😮

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Try it

[@starks1974]

But what happens when the green is dry and fast? I had trouble my last round, I putted 45 times, and my GIR on the back was 75% yet I 3 putted 6 times.

[@rodneyblackwell7477]

I live in Thailand and the greens are slow but visit Melbourne sand belt courses where the green speeds are notoriously fast. I have to slow down my back swing on the putts. On super fast downhill putts I might hit the ball from the toe of the putter

[@stevejohnstongolf]

As Rodney says, avoid the sweet soot

[@stevejohnstongolf]

Spot

[@rolandcolegate8228]

When you started this video you paced out your putt as 24 feet, this grew to 30 feet from the same start position as the video progressed, or am I going mad ?? Cheers.

[@stevejohnstongolf]

You are correct, I had paced out 24ft but 20 mins earlier I was giving a putting lesson from 30ft and that number was still in my head. When editing the video I noticed the mistake but just went with it. You should get a prize for that🤷‍♂️

[@rolandcolegate8228]

@@stevejohnstongolf Sorry Steve, thought I was having another "Senior Moment" untill I rewatched the video, and realized that I had seen you pace it out as 24ft, just me being pedantic really !! Still good content though.

[@BruceMethven]

Steve - this was your worst ever. You holed nothing. Stick to your eureka stuff.Your putting was v average

[@BruceMethven]

Still think it's crap. Bounce away. Nobody goes on the practice green . We turn up go onthev1st couple of swishes and we're off. Bounce off

[@stevejohnstongolf]

How many 30ft putts do you hole??? If it’s the worst ever then stop watching!!!
