[@cheriemonson]

I spent 2 hours on the driving range practice green last night learning how to stop decelerating when I hit the ball. I have been coming back too far and then decelerate as I hit the ball. I’m pretty good at reading greens and have good aim most of the time. When I missed the hole, I would go 6-8 feet past the hole causing a 3 putt instead of a 2 putt green. My husband has me coming back shorter based on length of putt and coming through without stopping/decelerating. I was amazed at how many 1-2 foot putts I had when I missed the hole. I don’t have much distance off the tee and in the fairway, so my short game needs to be really good. I even keep track of my putts and usually average 2 putts/hole. I live in Minnesota, and I’m a 60-year old woman who shoots around 130 on 18.

[@rogerstclair830]

Great advice on setup. Best tip/thought I use is to keep lower body (waist down) totally still thru the swing. Otherwise I can’t keep the face square.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Thanks, have you seen this video we just released on putting kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5W3lmBvl8SFqc0si=JSZScr15iM8hQvw0

[@byhee648]

I'm actually using this grip since I started golfing .... didn't know that I can get more insight now.... thanks

[@dinukaranawaka4606]

Winner of a video, I've been looking for "golf swing flexibility" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Graysonyon Putter Prolific - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my neighbour got cool results with it.

[@huntpr]

Curious what you think about Phil having his lead eye behind the ball in order for him to see a better view of the hole? Also, Any advice for a left hand dominant + left eye dominant player swinging righty? Trying to get back to my Spieth prime 😂. Appreciate the videos really informative even for scratch!

[@jeffreyyoungblood7438]

Needed the reminder about the grip. Forces you to use larger muscle groups which is what you want for more control!

[@salvatorecolatrella5442]

Only started playing golf 2 months ago-- I am a senior so there are some challenges with getting max rotation on swing, driver distance etc--- I have been playing 2x week, + going to the range + and have two great experinced friends who offer guidance. I have been all over the internet looking at trainer videos---I think you are the best. You make it clear and your drills help a lot!! I bookmarked all you videos A SUPER BIG BIG THANK YOU😀

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Appreciate the kind words...thank you! Total team effort on our side. As a new golfer, you should get my book The Bad Lie. It will walk you through the entire swing and short game. It is an easy read and easy to understand. Here is the link of you are interested www.badliegolfbook.com/

[@dcvideo2]

what about how to make sure the putter head is square or I guess at 90 degrees to your target when you take your grip? #2- what about flat vs round grips? thx

[@timschrock2797]

Todd - would you please tell me the difference between the Teton Hybrid Driver 15 degree loft and the Colt Sprinter at 13 degree loft. I bought a Colt Sprinter but since i have seen your advertisements I wish I had bought a Teton. I need to replace my 3 wood and yet get more distance than my 5 Wood Tim Schrock

[@markweiss8804]

what grip do you call this? A variation of the reverse overlap which just has the left index finger wrapped around the right hand? i experimented with this and like it a lot.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

We call it the Vertical Line Swing special...LOL. No real name but a cornerstone of our system. If you would like more see the book which covers the entire system www.badliegolfbook.com/

[@waynevanhuyssteen6250]

Thank you for this video. Im trying to help a Blind Golfer with his putting, and he is quite mechanical. He asked where does the actual MOTION come from to move the putter? Which muscles / joints etc? Any help please?

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Great question, it is a combination of shoulders, arms and hands. Different golfers will feel one more than the other based on person preference. I would also suggest rolling a few putts by holding the putting in only the dominant hand. This is a great way to develop feel and touch. Hope that helps 👊

[@waynevanhuyssteen6250]

@@USGOLFTVshow Thanks very much indeed for your thoughtful and thorough reply. I have passed it on to my friend who is most impressed that you responded. Thanks!

[@billwilson3172]

Not sure if it was Tom Watson but remember hearing that once you look at a put your mind will do the rest or something like that. For beginners he said just close your eyes once you look at the distance and putt. Trust in what you saw and meet up with it combined with practice and don't get too lazy and you will be another tremendous putter. Desire to make the putt, visualization of it going in and the putter is able to see it through.

[@adrianshortall5306]

Does the style of putter (blade versus mallet) influence ball position for putting? I have the latter style and was advised to have the ball position forward of centre in front of the instep of my left foot. Thank you.

[@AaronShaHome]

Thank you for this great tips!! Question here please, where should put the ball for right eye is dominant eye? Thanks again!

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Aaron Sha good question, we find you need to play around with it a little, there is no one way for all golfers. In general we like to see the ball underneath the lead eye, this is a good place to start...hope that helps 👊

[@idpaopl]

I am newish to golf and have found that when i was putting longer shots i would putt for close. I am setting myself up for failure by doing this. i find that when i take the time to set up my longer putts with the goal of sinking the ball (it takes a bit longer) i was more successful. Rather than just hoping i would get close enough for an easy second putt, and accepting that goal.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

John, good post...focus on making those putts!

Bob...thank you for watching and the comment...hope the information helps!

[@MrGritteeth]

Question do you use the right hand as the leading hand , or the left? No one ever mentions this. In other words do you pull the chain or do you push it?

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Ferdinand Gritter Our suggestion would be the motion is more pull can push...however needs to be a balance between the two. Hope that helps!

[@Chadikenz]

I like a lot of what you are teaching. But what is the purpose of having the eyes over the ball?

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Chad...great question...by having the eyes over the ball it is easier to create a square set up and for the eyes to see the line of the putt....however, there are a variety of ways to putt...this is our general guideline...thanks for watching and the comment

[@betavulgaris7888]

Almost every pro i've ever heard has said that you need to get your eyes to wherever it is *for you* that traces a straight line. To get this right, set a ball up on a dead straight putt with the line on the ball aiming directly at the centre of the cup. Stand over it. If the line doesn't look right, like it's going to go offline when you hit it, you need to adjust wherever your eyes are at address.

What of you are right eye dominate, left eye over the ball at setup feels weird to me seeing the line...

[@USGOLFTVshow]

GolfNaples...this is a great question...to be honest we have not done enough study on the topic to give you a good answer...I would rather say I don't know, then to just give you some random answer....You could check out some of the information from Dr. Craig Farnsworth...he has some insight on eye dominate...thanks for the comment

[@camperschoice8802]

Clay Ballard says you need a 36/64 swing with the putter so you don't decelerate.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Campers Choice Clay is one of our friends and a great coach! We agree that you do not want the putter to decelerate, however you also do not want it to accelerate...it should be maintaining its speed into the impact zone. Make sense?

[@joecalvacca3195]

👌

[@jimbeaver27]

sorry not my grip

[@JL-qo7cs]

The grip does not dictate the proper technique. The putter (the angle of the shaft and putter head) dictates the proper grip. Maybe. Think about it.

[@EduKaytionGolf]

Are you kidding? Awful

[@jeffreyrashley36]

Great learned nothing!!!

[@johnpeniel4318]

Very bad grip. One finger, left fore finger, overlapping is all you need - Nicklaus, Woods, Trevino, Watson, Crenshaw, etc.

[@kesmi4531]

These are suggestions my friend . I have tried the others as you mentioned and they all have their merits but the grip in this video works the best FOR ME!

[@tonyvasquez1393]

You are incorrect. The reverse overlap grip used by all of the great putters and champions is the best. It was/is used by Hogan, Nelson, Snead, Nicklaus, Woods, Trevino, Watson, Crenshaw, Loren Roberts, Brad Faxon, Rory McIlroy, etc. How much more proof do you need that it's the best? LOL

[@kccodex8931]

I completely disagree with using the big muscles, and using the hands as little as possible. It makes no sense, all the feel is in the fingers!

[@HeroFever]

99 percent of professional golfers disagree with you and use their upper back muscles to hit the putt. You do you though, what works for you works for you.. just don't mislead others.

@@HeroFever 99 percent? Sounds like some nonsense you just came up with. On short putts you can get away without using the wrists, on long putts not so much.
