Putting revelation?

[louise_a]

My putting has always been iffy at best. I have just been looking at Bobmac's V-Easy web page, and it appears that you should putt by keeping your wrist still and putt with your shoulders, completely the opposite to how I have always putt, ie with the wrists.

Will this new knowledge mean I don't 3 putt as much in future?

Maybe/Maybe not. Only one way to find out, get on the course and try it. The putting stroke should be as said a pendulum motion using shoulders it will certainly make for a smoother stroke.

After a dire putting performance at the weekend I took the plunge and ordered a v-easy last night from e-bay. Only 12.99 and hopefully it will help with my also dire chipping. Heres hoping

Tut tut tut... how will Bob put food on his families plate tonight?

whats the thinking behind always with a smooth tempo? the best putter i played with last year pulled the putter back ever so slowly before increasing the distance for longer putts. i have copied his method at times and it seems to work well for me too. the slow movement allows me to keep the ball in the middle/sweet spot of the putter easily on the backswing.

Wristy style putting actions are a bit old fashioned - probably back to times when greens were not as good as they are now. The norm now appears to be the shoulder rocking with no wrists.

Thats exactly what the V Easy does - firms up the wrists and encourages the shoulder rocking motion. Just make sure that you grip the putter lightly! Oh - and go get one - PM Bob.

It should make your touch better - so yes - 3 putts could be a thing of the past!

PS - Bob - How much will you pay me for that?

stick a club or garden cane under your armpits and across your chest to get that 'rocking shoulders' feeling immediately

Fish and chips all round!

Seriously thinking about going to a belly putter , it takes the wrists right out of the equation and the stroke feels a lot smoother. I'm quite happy with my putting in general but there's always room for improvement.

I got the V-easy out yesterday, primarily for chipping. Kerching! the penny dropped and finally we've a stroke that works akin with a proper set up position at address. So easy when you do it right.
