Have to add a second comment. I was actually pleasantly surprised that I was pretty good at the first drill of getting the putter head through the two tees. However, the second drill was very enlightening. I could not believe how difficult it was to do it for the first bit and realized how my usual way of looking up instantly after hitting the ball was throwing everything else off kilter. Once again, fantastic information that nobody else is talking about on youtube.
I give several putting lessons each week. He's correct. I tell my clients to hold their finish and look by turning their heads instead of looking up and coming out of the stroke. You should only see the last third of your putt as it nears the hole.
Thank you Rob. I tried the two tees drill on the putting green today, and combined that with the heads up putting technique from you other video. Wow! The results were fantastic. What a great way to practice your putts.
I thought I was keeping my head down, but when I had lesson / video taken I was looking up. Holding the finish helped me stop pushing my putts. Great stuff Rob!
it is true that the putting line on the putter is often inside the line I choose, and I have to consciously align it correctly. I go through a process even on short putts because missing one of those is so painful. I will try gate drill, good enough for Tiger. Cheers!
Oh no! my good putting secret is out,holding the follow through and connecting your brain to the roll of the ball ie distance control luckily nobody i play with will watch a boring putter video let alone make it through to this great advice
I like the concept. I made a video on it here - "Heads-Up" Putting - The Most Important Putting Video You'll Ever Watch! th-cam.com/video/UviNY_o3Nio/w-d-xo.html
@@lkae4 Mine was too a year ago. I love it till this day. I spent too many years seeing the right line to the hole, only to see the ball starting next to it when hitting it. No more. Took me a little adjustment to find the exact address position (being fitted remotely) at 71 degrees and then to start 'trusting the arc' and then let gravity do the rest. While doing the first practice putts, it's really good to try and take both thumbs off the grip. I did that for two months and now still leave one of them off today (I place my left thumb on my right wrist). At hcp 14, my make percentage between 1-2 m according to shot scope went up from a measly 32% to 62% on average, although I admit a change in putting routine helped me a lot there too.
@@pbode1 Very nice. I've been draining quite a few putts with my Toulon Alcatraz while I wait for the Mezz Max. It will be a heated competition for the starting spot. My ultimate putter might be a Mezz with the Jailbird window. The DF is almost there. LAB, if you are reading this, please make it happen haha.
@@robcheneygolf1 I’m going to give it a try . I like the concept and admire how well Bryson has putted . I also like the “setup4impact “ technique that Bryson uses in his golf swing
I passed your test! I have always held my finish, swiveling my head to watch each putt. My putter face contact is usually center-cut. However, my index of 3.1 is due to averaging 32.1 putts per round. My ball striking numbers, which I have kept for a few years, suggest that I should be scratch. I did a SAM Putting lab three years ago and scored well with an efficiency rating of 94%. Why can’t I sink more putts? The only thing left is green reading. Of my 152 rounds so far this year, 140 have been on my home course, so I should be able to read those greens. Any help is welcomed.
I am trying it. I can confirm that lenght control is easier. Difficult are too long putts, because to risk to loose the face control along the longer way back is increasing. I am thinking to test the Lab Putter or the new PXG Putter. These are always fall back to the target line. These should help head up putting.
Ben Crenshaw always moved the ball more to teh front when playing fast greens because he could keep the same stroke while taking some of the speed off the ball.
Love your content, after so many superficial youtube lessons I feel following you might actually help. Nevertheless… please stop these clickbait titles. It’s so freaking annoying. It feels so needlessly desperate and cheap.Why can’t this just be something elegant like „the art of putting correctly“? Ok maybe these „99% of you are doing this wrong“ title work because people click… but if feels so wrong…
Thanks for the feedback. Could I ask you if anyone had ever told you this before? I hope you can continue enjoying the videos and that they are helpful for your game. ⛳️

Thanks for sharing your experience, David. Hopefully, your awareness of this will help you to make improvements to your putting.
I got putter fit a few years ago and was given the putter hold drill from the fine gentleman. Great move.
That's great! Clever guy! 👍🏻
Good information. My bad habit is closing the putter through the stroke. Can’t find a tip to keep the putter square through the stroke. Many thanks 😊

Another outstanding video Rob. Hitting the ball in the center and transferring the correct amount of energy to the ball is key.
Happy to help! 👍🏻

It’s a game changing lesson, I’m convinced of that!
Thanks Rob. Once again, simple drills that anyone can later - if we only invested the time to do so!

Nice video, Rob. What do you think about heads-up putting?

Great to see the increase in subscribers.
Thank you, RC! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Rob ,where are you it looks very nice
Singapore 🇸🇬
Great video Rob. Very helpful. What do you think about lining the ball up under your dominant eye, as some suggest.
1:10 All hail center shaft putters :-)
😂
Haha. Can't wait for the Lab Mezz Max to arrive. My first center-shafted putter ever.

Good video Rob. Have you ever reviewed the arm lock putter that Bryson uses ?
I haven’t reviewed one, but coincidentally I tried the LAB arm-lock putter this week and really liked it! Do you like/use an arm-lock putter?

Difficult to say based on what you've shared above. But certainly green-reading would be something to look at.
Do you still put with looking to the hole only? I can‘t see this in the video?
Heads-up putting isn’t something I always do. But I’m certainly a fan of people trying the concept to see if it helps there distance control.

Oh geez make your own video. 🙄
As soon as the video says ... nobody tells you... you know its total bs
Ok, bro! 🤪
I just knocked the handle off my girlfriend's favourite cup 🤦♂️ I blamed you but she's not having it!

Oh no! 🙈
