This video really resonated with me and the golf I play. I am part of the 2nd group throwing darts. I do think of the past and I do worry about the future. I realized I have never given the present a chance.
Putting was my weakest part of the game and missing pressure 3 footers have taken its toll.
For a year I stopped looking at the ball and just saw the spot I wanted the ball to drop in. It had its merits.
I get the yips very often, specially with the classical grips left hand on top or left hand below. By yips a spasm just before impact. I mean when trying to make a putt from 3-15 feet, my muscles have a mind of their own, I end up jabbing or jerking it way left or right.
Have finally settled on a claw grip. Working on my putting using the claw has for one stopped my yips which always was a thought back of my mind also made me aware yips would happen when I am too upright and not over the ball.
Greatest improvement in my game has been the long putts from wishing I am short so that I get to chip instead of putt , to now accepting that I will get close. Had tried short backswing to long follow through, hitting the ball like a hammer like a slap, trying a long backswing and a long follow through, till I realized the best putts I hit which have great speed and hold the line is when I straighten my right arm after impact. Its all in one motion and is subtle but that’s the feeling. Have started to do so for 6-15 feet putts also. Its subtle the straightening of the right arms but its there and is my swing thought. Dropping many more putts now.
Real short putts 2-5 feet specially the sliders I have weakened the hold of my grip, letting the putter head do its work.
Do you feel the weight of the putter better with one hand more dominate on the grip. I noticed with one handed putting strokes the weight of the putter head is more apparent. I am puting that left hand over the dominant right hand very lightly. It seems like I can feel the weight better especially in the takeaway. Feels like the left is just along for ride. Is this garbage or does it have merit? dunno 🙂
Well, if it feels like one solid block from both shoulder sockets down and you are able to let the arms and putter roll the ball into the picture without interference, then why not?
