Golf Impact Training

The putting stroke, body position and ball position are all very personal.  Hold the putter any way you want.  No rules.  Stand any way you want.  No rules.  Put the ball any place in the stance.  No rules.  An observation: many of the very best putters have used an open stance.  They can see the hole better.  You must be relaxed, especially in the shoulders.  Grip the putter gently.

 

The stroke is made with the biggest muscles possible.   The putting stroke is the same basic motion as the driver swing.  While you don’t need the weight transfer from the right to the left for a putt on fast greens these days, you still should use the biggest muscles possible.  Use the muscles in the lower back to cause the shoulders to be moved. That way the shoulders and arms can be completely relaxed.  Do not use your arms to make the club move.  Any time the arms make the arms move, you are asking for a poor shot.
