This video saved me $400. I was putting terribly. I realize that I was “hitting” the putt rather than roll the ball with a heavy arm club unit. So I practiced with my sledge hammer. Then spent 60 minutes practicing with this new feeling. Today: 8 x 1 putts with no three putts. Fantastic!
Oh…the savings was that I didn’t purchase a new putter!!!!
And now you can go show Dustin Johnson how to putt! 😀👍
He just switched putter…again!
Shawn,
Been struggling with Right to Left breaking putts in that I can’t seem to get my Right Hand out of the stroke – I tend to get anxious when starting the stroke and “Hit” the ball rather than stroking it resulting in a few 3 putts a round. I sometimes will resort to putting 1 handed almost with my Right Hand just resting on top my Left wrist but it’s not very consistent. I’m currently using an Arm-Lock putter and the standard Claw Grip. Any thoughts or suggestions or drills?
What you want to do is get a 6 pound sledge hammer and swing that back and through; you can’t shove or place that instrument! See “take a sledge hammer to your short game shawn clement” on youtube; and I did a putter video with the arm lock too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0oJhhez8yg
Hi Shawn, are you ok with a little bit of knee movement on some short putts as well? I had someone comment the other day on how I shouldn’t “swing” a putter and it’s only the shoulders and arms that should move. Just wondering your take on this.
Thanks!
Another fear monger at work telling you to be careful and watch out! 😝😝
When we say let the arm-putter unit swing, it means exactly that!
See “take a sledge hammer to your short game shawn clement” on youtube and practice with a 6 pound sledge and you tell me you should freeze the lower body…best way to learn the yips!
Thank you Shawn! Ever since that comment my putting has gotten worse is I feel like a stiff board trying to “hit” a putt. It doesn’t feel natural. Checking out the video now! Thanks!

I was experimenting with arm lock putting and kind of liking how it makes me more aware of moving the APU. I came across a YouTube video on putting grip and technique where you advocate this for some of your students. Do you still like this style of putting? Other than feel and practice how do I know if it is right for me? Do you think Bettinardi is still the best model for this. I have always used center shafted putters and they don’t make a center shaft. Thank you in advance for your reply..
If you cannot feel the putter swinging from the shoulders down with either a stock double overlapping grip or a cross handed lead hand low grip, and still feel too much wiggle in the wrists or a propensity to control the putter from the hands, then the arm-lock is the way to go and the Bettinardi is still the one that is best designed and proven. It’s either that or switch sides and see how the other stroke feels! 😀👍
Shawn, I have only been a member for a week. I have been taking lessons for the last 8 months on-line through top speed golf. I have made a lot of progress, but found your sight and I was drawn to how you teach the chip and build it into the full swing. I also really admire your teaching style, I coach golf and watching your lessons are going to make me much better at helping my players develop their games. I really enjoy how you interact with your students as well. Big fan!!
I live in central Ohio, so I am beating balls into a net with face tape. Can’t wait to see some ball flight with my improved grip and closed club face!
The double overlap has made a world of difference to my set-up, and putting stroke. The putter rests so flat and it is much easier for me to hover the blade pre-impact. I’m short so even a 35 inch putter, I have always felt as if I need to choke down. With the double overlap, the putter fits better and I don’t feel like it is in my gut. I feel way more comfortable and consistent. BOOYAH!!
Awesome stuff! Welcome and make yourself at home! We actually just filmed another grip session with Savannah and used a “top speed tennis” backhand grip screen shot to show the identical nature of the stronger grip and why for many it makes all the difference. I look forward to seeing more of your posts! 👍😀
