The most helpful, easy to follow, and immediate help TH-cam putting video I’ve found after watching this is the 10 minute Eureka putting video on grip, dominant eye, and stroke length. It was personal and recognized every player’s differences.
My favorite golf box drill is an at home drill. Cut the flaps off the box and then putt into it. I do a drill where I start @ 3' and stay at that distance until I make 3 in a row, then go to 4' same, then 5'. Drill done when I've made three in a row at each distance. If you can putt into the box, you know you are putting straight. Also, the hole looks huge after this drill.
Unless you’re a tour-5ish hcp, speed is hands down the most important thing. Speed minimizes 3 putts. Less 3 putts means lower scores. Once you have a good feel for speed, then consistency. There are pros who have toe/heel up or open/closed faces. Consistency = predictable. Predictability = made putts. Notice how he was .8* closed and missed low then 1* closed, but made on the right side. He varied the speed.
My best round of 66 (8 birdies and 2 bogeys) had exactly what you described - misreads matched perfectly with my mishits. Not all of them of course, but at least 2 - greatest golf day of my life.
Matt, I prefer the .10cent tee method vs the $15 sleeve method, LOL! You're still the man bro, great drill. And speed is more important than line. You can be online and jack it 6ft past if you don't have finesse.
Love the channel Matt. Bought the #Blast last Nov after ur initial review last year. Was working on face angle and tempo, fitted for an Evnroll putter, practicing and #Blast will not charge, 3 emails to #Blast and no response. Lasted 3 months so I went back to ur #1 recommendation and drew large line on the ball. Too bad about #Blast so just wanted to warn your viewers about their customer support.
If you take a polyurethane striking block for installing flooring pit a peice of tape on top for alliighnment you can do this drill and the ball goes more true when striking it and you can hear it better if your making double contact .
Try putting a skateboard wheel - the cylindrical kind. I found one on a green at my course - no idea how it got there - and tried to putt it just for fun. Holy Moses! Unless you are absolutely, dead nuts, square at impact, it will flop over and tumble like crazy. Only a pristine stroke will get it to roll at all.
The best drill for face angle is to buy a 48" metal straight edge. They have a hole to hang on the wall. Place the ball on the hole and putt as usual keeping it on the ruler.
Matt- bought the Blast sensor in your link! Awesome product. Loving the data in face at impact and getting tempo to 2:1 for not only my short outs but lag putts
Awesome idea for practicing putting...I'm thinking this could be done in your home also if you're not able to get to a putting green. I was wondering if you could do a fairly extensive video on green-reading... I've played courses that the hole looks perfectly flat and yet the ball seems to move away due to grain or whatever....Thx....Keep up the awesome vids...
I focus on speed first. If you can consistently hit the ball -2,3 feet past the hole, then the line will react the same way more consistently. ( but I do not disagreeing with having the face square. ) that goes without saying. With all clubs honestly. If you can’t square up the face, you are dead. 🤷🏻♂️🍻 Great video.
Hi Matt. I love the vids. I love how easy you illustrate ideas and have fun. Just a quick question. I’m from Ireland and my local course has very slow greens, even in the Summer. How would you recommend I play them? Ie, heavier putter, hit harder (I don’t want to get too wristy doing that). I know I could hit the ball closer to the hole but where’s the fun in that. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Keep up the great work. Peter
On your first put you said your face is open but How can your face be open when you miss to the left ? Would that mean face closed ? I don’t see much in this at all, still fun watching your content 👍🏻🏌🏻♂️
😂🤣😂 square putter face 650 times luv ya brother. Agreed club face square but not that simple. Got to have touch, got to keep wrists still. One day I putt well the next day yips, it’s a crap shoot. Pitch the ball close to the hole and eliminate the frustration that comes with the flat stick. Be safe!
Black Motion doesn't fit on fat putter grips. They were super helpful with other drills to square off your face at impact, Thumbs up on their customer service!
If you just want to practice hitting the box, just do it at home on the patio, driveway or carpet inside. This way you don't look like a clown at your local course in front of all your friends! 😂🤣 You'll also be able to do it hundreds of times throughout the day at your convenience without leaving home.
Instead of the box from a sleeve of golf balls, tape 3 golf balls inside the cardboard tube from a roll of toilette paper and see if you can roll the tube straight. Any angled contact will move tube in a crooked direction. And no, no one will laugh at you for putting a tp tube. Promise. 🤓

Love it. Just purchased a Blast sensor yesterday. Can't wait to try it.
Thanks, very much My friend.
Great drill. Never thought of that one. Keep up the training and course videos please. Those are my favorites.
I will give this drill a try. Thank you for sharing.

Mr Short Game, This is a great drill.
A simple but obviously effective drill. Great video. 👍

Phil, how much did you pay for it? He said less than $100 and a discount, but I just clicked his link and it was $150.
@@ryanshaw8663 $99 maybe 89. Dec 2020
Great Drill and Tip. Thank You.
Great drill Matt keep em coming thanks buddy

Omg ! You were in Georgia I would love to meet you next time
On your first put you said your face is open but How can your face be open when you miss to the left ? Would that mean face closed ? I don’t see much in this at all, still fun watching your content 👍🏻🏌🏻♂️
Ginge yeah I kept saying open when I meant closed.
Nice! White Columns CC. I’m a member there. Would love to hear your take on the course. Moved into the White Columns neighborhood in early August.
Just ordered one yesterday, video was most timely. Buddy told me about it, was hoping it was what he said it was, now I have no real concern.
Matt does the Blast sensor work for reading club face angle (at impact) on full swings like driver or irons?
Haven't done a sand video in a while. Any new tips?
Great video. Thanks!!! I miss the chickens.
Great Idea, however I use a Seemore that squares up putter
How you liking the LA golf shaft? I’m thinking of putting one in my Newport
Muffin 007 it’s amazing
@@MrShortGame how would you say the feel compares to the stock shaft
also with this drill do you have 3 balls in the sleeve or 2

Good Morning
Shame Blast don't ship to UK as that is a decent discount!
Should the box be full or empty?

Mad as a hatter Mr SG!🤣 But great videos and this is a great tip prob no1 has ever thought of. 👍
👍
I think that some manufacturers are missing a trick not designing something useful with their packet designs.
I need that putter

Pace is more important than line
Seems very simple......flat putter strikes, make for straighter puts.
I had never seen a putter that doens't have a steel shaft.
Those are Matt's new Dechambeau shafts in all his sticks

It wouldn’t be much of a secret if everyone knew 😂
Ha, Ha, . The box gives you a straight edge but the ball only give you a point. Hands are control by mostly eye coordination. Go figure.
Lmao @ 650 times. 👍
Not secret anymore.
