I am guessing picturing ball rolling in would be the last bit / where the ball enters the hole or do you mean you picture the entire roll which I was told I should visualize but its not easy and I never putt well as however much I try and picture the full putt I over think it when actually putting.
Also I had a tendency to pull short putts with the claw grip using a regular putter. A center Shafted putter has stopped the pulling to a great extent. At the same time I found loosening my grip ever so slightly helps the putter to go through easily I guess that’s natural momentum.
Found the answer in one of the comments, last 3 feet of the ball rolling into the hole.. Makes life easier 🙂
Hey Shawn, trying to not manipulate the putter but I am finding I’m always coming up short with my puts and the puts tend to lack any kind of roll out. Not sure what i’m doing wrong. Any thoughts on what could do to help with this?
Are you seeing the putt roll in at the speed you want to roll the ball into the hole with in your mind just before you let it go?
This feels a bit abstract but I will try it out and see if it helps and let you know. Thanks!
I still don’t understand! After I build the machine and I’m standing over the ball, the ball will not move because the putter will not move unless I move it. How do I move the putter? Do I move it with my hands, arms, shoulders, lats, abs, hips, legs, feet,…? I’ve spent decades trying to create momentum with the same inconsistent results.
Hey Tyrone!
you don’t do any of the above; you simply react. If I were to stand in front of you and ask you to toss a ball into my right hand, would you need to think about what to move first? NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!!
You see the ball roll into the hole at the speed that you would like it to go in with and let momentum roll the ball into that picture; give yourself a rhythmic tone to say out loud while doing it like the doorbell ring: “ding—dong”!
see the ball roll in, eyes back to ball, ding—dong” and your in!
I would toss a ball with the hand that it is in, allowing my body to react to that intended hand motion. That is my natural thought! Thanks!!!
Good stuff! 👍👍
hey Shawn, I have been pulling my putts a lot lately. i’m a 9 handicap. Buddy of mine who is also an instructor advising that me lead shoulder is coming up to soon and causing me to strike the ball with the lower part of the face and it’s closed. Can you help?
Hey Chris! Did you see the video “never miss another short putt shawn clement” on youtube? Also see “eagle putting exclusive” and “Putting routine off season training” and “flow state putting”
Tell your friend respectfully to stop distracting you with body part positions and wasting your time. Alignment, ball position, distance to ball, LET MOMENTUM ROLL THE BALL INTO THE PICTURE OF A BALL ROLLING INTO THE HOLE AT THE SPEED YOU WANT IT TO GO IN ON.
What is your putting routine and the last thjng going through your mind before you allow the stroke to happen?
Shawn, I have been working on strengthening my grip. I viewed your putting video on You Tube about not manipulating the club. I’m a 10 handicap and 74 yrs old. Played Saturday and shot 77. All I thought about When putting was see the ball in the hole and no manipulation. It changed everything. Every once in a while I throw in turning my hands over and smothering the ball. What video would be good for that. Also I live in Atlanta and recently saw your video with Jamie Letts. I am about 2 hours away. Would he be good to take a lesson from on how to keep working with the strong grip? Thanks. Having fun!
Hey Paul! Get you butt over there to see Jammie ASAP!! The man is a complete master with Wisdom in Golf and has a strong grip of his own! When you smother the ball, it is not by any defect of yours; what was the last thing that went through your mind before you delivered the swing? It all happens right there! See “pre-motor cortex series” on premium!
So I met with Jamie Letts today. It was a great experience. He showed me that my grip wasn’t really as strong as I thought. We did the 3 tees in the ground drill for draw, cut, and straight. Ball position is huge. He had me striping the ball- even with the driver. We mostly just worked on setup and it really opened my eyes. Can’t wait to go practice the drills. I see now why the blur exercise is so important as well as the intermediate point needs to be right in front of the ball. One time I used the intermediate point about 4 feet in front of me and I pulled it left. Thank you for doing the video with Jammie and the referral. Over and out for now!
Also is there any way to find which video I responded to when I come back into the website?
Awesome feedback Paul! Jammie is a flippin’ treasure as a human, golfer, teacher, coach. I am so happy you got to have that experience! As for your videos, you can put them in “your favourites” on the website!👍
Forgive me but I can’t find how to put a video in “My Favorites”
