review my putting...

[Rooter]

well i got sent all these videos by my pro and the wife wont watch them, so thought i would share! too much emphasis for me used to be on smashing drivers, finally found out the "drive for show, putt for dough" line was in fact very true... I have pretty much banished 3 putts these days, (he says! LOL)

Let me know what you think. i have adopted the cackhanded grip, it really works for me controlling wrist movement and also feel weight control..

feedback appreciated!

Overall, a fine stroke, not bad at all.
There is a little movement in the wrists and the lower half but not much
If you watch your hips in the first video, can you see a slight movement?
It's clearer in the second video where you start off seeing a bit of your left knee then during the stroke it gets covered by the right knee when it moves.
Not a major fault but something you can keep an eye on.
I also prefer to see the putter swinging through naturally and not being stopped as if by brakes.

The chair drill will help you wih your lower half.

Sorry to steal into the thread but didn't see the point making a new one for a quick question...

Bob (or anyone else technical), does this putting stroke look like a solid one or have I become too rigid in trying to cut out moving parts?

You seem to stand quite tall to the putt.
Lots of experts suggest your eyes should be directly over the ball to promote a better pendulum action during the stroke

When standing tall, what kind of errors would you expect to see? I tend to push right.

Your hands will be too close to your body and you may be pushing them away from your body on the downswing.
How long is your putter and how tall are you?

34" putter, 6' tall.

It's strange, I think I need to get a 'down the line' shot of my putter because if anything I'm on the far away end of the scale in my stance with other clubs.

Thanks uncle Bob! :thup:
