Hey Sean, I’ve been really enjoying your content on Wisdom in Golf, it’s made a big difference in how I think about the game.
At 3:36, you talked about maintaining the “ capital letter Y” in the putting stroke. When you mention that, does it imply that the shaft of most putters should NOT have a slight forward lean at address, rather be perfectly vertical?
Just wanted to make sure I’m understanding and applying that concept correctly. Thanks again for all the great insights!
does not have to be exact; simply feel the weight of the arm-putter unit hanging from the shoulder sockets as a solid unit. Both arms swing from the shoulder sockets or head of humerus. They are reunited by the sternal notch and feels like the momentum of this unit falls through the stroke into the picture of the ball rolling into the hole at the speed you want to see it roll in and the side it needs to roll into the hole. See more of the putting videos, the answers will come! Like flow state putting video…
hey Shawn, having a consistent issue with my putter. my putter path seems to always want to veer left on follow through (creates pulled puts). Not sure why. im trying to let the arms hang but you have to bend the elbows so not quite like an iron. Also, should i try and create more of arc or a straight back and through?
just looking up my PING CA 70 putter and it looks like it made for slight arc, straight back.not sure if that matters.
Putter Type: Mid Mallet
Head Weight: 360g
Stroke Type: Slight Arc, Straight
Standard Length: 35″
Lie Angle: 20° ±2°
Loft: 3° +3°/-2°
Straight back and through does not exist; don’t even try! 😝
the line on the ball is great and needs to be in relation to the alignment of momentum; then you can do a PMD beside it and see the blur of the line on the putter and see that it matches the lines on the ball. Then bring in, see the ball roll in from the last 4 feet at the speed you need and let it go.
Shawn,
Can you explain if there is a method to determine if you need a face balanced putter vs toe hanging or in-between? Does it really matter if you’re using perpetual motion to feel the putter swing? Thanks kindly.
Stick to face balanced or slight toe hang putters; they suit human anatomy the best and most are too flat too; get a single bend shaft that is easy to bend to the correct lie when you are letting the arm-putter unit hang from the shoulders in front of your feet.
Also get your putter counter balanced with a grip weight of between 75 and 100 grams; this will MAKE the putter big time! The rest is head look and feel to taste; something that you find easy to align
Thanks for your excellent response…..terrific stuff!
Hey Shawn, I’ve been told by many that my putting stroke on the way back is too quick and my stroke through is too slow (and slower than my backswing). My intention currently is to heave the putter back and then let it fall. Once I give it a heave back to get it in motion, I add zero energy on the way down and through. My distance control, and my “feel for distance” is quite poor right now. Any suggestions?
Yes, LOOK AT THE HOLE and don’t think about what to do with the stroke; just use momentum to roll the ball into the hole at the speed you want the ball to roll in with.
Where did you find the Tupper grip? Can’t seem to locate one on the internet!
Hey John! Sorry, they are no longer in business; but the name changed because of Tupperware, and it became “Forward grips” see if that works; Mr David Blois had sold the company to another entity in Toronto so you may be able to find one! Let me know!
