How to Build a Great Putting Setup
Переглядів 243Місяць тому
The pros don’t neglect their putting setup, and neither should you! A good putting setup increases the chances of you having a solid putting technique and a good consistent putting stroke. Don’t ignore the putting fundamentals, of which the setup is most certainly 1 of them. There are common faults I see with students every week when it comes to upper body posture and arm structure. There are a...
Do This For Better Putting Speed Control!
Переглядів 180Місяць тому
Here’s an easy way to work on better speed control through using your backswing more effectively. This is something many many amateur golfers struggle with and many are not even aware of it being a problem. I often see golfers struggle with distance control and they often “hit” their putts. They have too much force in the downswing where the putter is rapidly accelerating through impact. This o...

Amazing Putting Speed Control Game!

If you don’t have good distance control you are always going to struggle, it’s the no1 s...

    If you’re only going to perform this drill in one place, you could choose to make it harder by requiring you have to start over at the first spot if you miss a putt along the way. You can’t progress unless you make the putt from your current position

    • @rossmacleodputting
      @rossmacleodputting Місяць тому

      Yeah that’s a good way to practice and a decent modification of this drill 👍 To do this drill at its best though I believe to do the 20 putts and they’d all be different. Ie using 4 holes, 5 putts from each.

  • @michellesalt3101

    Right eye dominance for a right handed player is MASSIVE! You will aim to the right without realising it. When the putter is pointing straight at the target it will feel to you that it is pointing way left.

    • @rossmacleodputting
      @rossmacleodputting 2 місяці тому

      Given the majority of right handed golfers are right eye dominant there’s no way they can be true. It will apply to some but definitely not all. Certainly not in my experience of measuring the aim and stroke of thousands of golfers.

    • @rossmacleodputting
      @rossmacleodputting 5 місяців тому

      I don’t think it’s a problem Paul. Golfers have to adapt to different speeds. Even on the same greens when you can have an uphill putt one hole, downhill the next. Good quality practice is always worthwhile imo 👍

  • @simonniven
    @simonniven 5 місяців тому

    I thought it was all about perception, in that as a right eye dominant player you may be actually aiming to the right of your perceived target

    • @rossmacleodputting
      @rossmacleodputting 5 місяців тому

      That’s not a trend I’ve seen Simon. Plenty of left and right eye dominant golfers with right or left aim biases. Best thing is to find out your own bias and work on it. We pretty much all have a bias. Better players just tend to manage it better.

    • @mattstevens4056
      @mattstevens4056 4 місяці тому

      This is exactly what I experience. Right eye dominant and I naturally see the target as 2-3 balls to the right of what it actually is, assuming a straight putt. I have learned to aim 1-2 balls left of left edge to put to center cup on a straight putt. I've heard it described as an issue of parallaxis which might be a technical way of describing the effect of eye dominance.

  • @justinstephenson9360
    @justinstephenson9360 5 місяців тому

    Eye, foot and hand dominance is a very interesting topic. As I understand it foot dominance and hand dominance are more closely related than eye and hand dominance. It is very rare for right handed people to left footed (c.3%) but relatively common for right handed people to be left eyed dominant (just over a 1/3rd). The difficulty comes when you look at left handed people because you can train out left footedness but not eye dominance. So 40% of left handed people are right footed but nearly 60% of left handed people are left eyed dominant. My guess is that if you deducted those people who trained out left footedness either deliberately or because they only saw right footed people playing sport when growing up, there would be a similar %age of left handed people who were right footed as there are right handed people who are left footed. This is relevant for me. I was born left handed but I am old enough and grew up in a very backward part of England, that when I went to nursery the teachers made sure I only used my right hand for drawing etc. I am also totally left footed, playing sport the right foot was for standing on only but I am right eyed dominant. I play golf right handed, it never occurred to me to try it left handed and when I started the only clubs available were right handed ones. This brings me onto putting. About 30 years ago I switched to putting left handed. The difference was immediate, it was just far more natural. I now wonder whether eye dominance may be a factor in why it felt so much easier - although I agree with the video that the difference ought to be fairly small

    • @rossmacleodputting
      @rossmacleodputting 5 місяців тому

      Interesting stuff indeed Justin. I hadn’t really thought much about foot dominance. I’m personally left handed, left footed and right eye dominant. My eye dominance surprised me as I have been left everything all my life. But I now know there’s at least a reasonable number of the population whose eye and hand dominance don’t match.

    Enjoyed this Ross. I've got a love/hate relationship with using the line. Any thoughts on long vs short putts? I find it helps most on short ones and can interfere with the creativity of long ones (if that makes sense).

    • @rossmacleodputting
      @rossmacleodputting 7 місяців тому

      This is very player dependent Keith. Some players use a line every putt, some only up to certain distances, some actually prefer to use it further away compared to closer, some use it only on straight/ish putts. Personally I use it up to about 20ft then don’t bother.

    @intothebreak571 8 місяців тому

    Interesting video. I recently revamped my whole thought process on putting too. Didn’t realize cam and Rory don’t take practice putts. I started not taking practice strokes at the ball and if I do for a lag putt I will do it when looking directly at the hole behind the ball before setting up at the ball. I also stopped using a line. I was so focused on that line and if it was off a little it got in my head and I would always miss hit. So I set up the ball with the logo pointing at the ball so I still get the visual of the end over end of the ball roll but don’t have the line getting in my head at address. My putting has immensely improved. Another thing I see no mention of is the method of actually placing the ball. I looked all over to see how pros do this. For me I place the ball with my right hand and have my right foot in line with the hole so that my toe is on the line behind the ball. This has also helped with placing the ball. Without the line at set up I am really focused on the hole or the line and adjust my feet to the line while I am looking at the hole. Great video started following and look foreword to more video👍

      @Seniortoscratch 7 місяців тому

      This is great. I was entirely too upright. If you just bend at the waist, will the eyes be too in front of the ball? Do you try to stick your butt back a little when you bend to maybe bring eyes back on top of the ball?

    • @rossmacleodputting
      @rossmacleodputting 4 місяці тому

      You can bend nicely from the hips and get any eye position depending on how far you are from the ball. In my experience many golfers stand too close and get cramped in. Some do stand too far away but that’s less common. Also, not everyone should putt with their eyes directly over the ball. I have a video on “finding your eyeline”. Worth checking out. Thanks.
