Despite being 50 years of age, this past season (2022) was my first 'serious' year of golf. I was thinking more about what I was trying to do with every shot and my game vastly improved from the year before. In 2021 I was happy to break 100 and last year I broke 80 for the first time and shot in that vicinity all season long and had only one round over 90. A huge part of that was my putting. I committed to my line and I tried very hard to not leave any putts short, as those don't have any chance to go in. I probably went from 3 putting between 4 and 6 times per round to doing it perhaps once or twice per round. I hope to do even better this year and the reason I have said all of that was because much of my improvement came from watching videos on this channel! Thank you very much from a big fan in Canada.
I watched this episode and part 2 (chipping) of this series earlier today and I'm already feeling the effects! My chipping has never felt better because I was using more than just a wedge to shoot chips close around the green. I gave myself a lot of 1 putt opportunities, which I've never done before. I also made my first ever birdie! It was about a 12 foot putt, and I thank your putting advice for me being able to make it. I kept my body still and used my shoulders and arms to guide the putter like you said, and I also focused on hitting the head of the putter as center as possible on the ball. Thank you so much for all your great tips and advice on golf! I shot +8 through 9 holes today. My best ever was +12! I'll continue watching your content, and sharing it with my friends.
This has been amazingly useful. My putting has been awful so I booked some lessons. However, having seen this, my putting has improved so much that I’ve cancelled the lessons. The video is so clear explaining rather than dictating so my understanding has improved. Brilliant.
I LOVE this video! Not only is it a simple introduction for someone just getting into golf, but it’s a great “refresher” for people already into the game. It’s very informative and extremely helpful. Thanks and keep up the great work!!
Thanks appreciate your comments 👍👍
Great video as I have finally decided to take my putting seriously and make a concerted effort to improve. Just what I was looking for. Thank you.
Great videos Chris. You fix my swing every time I watch
Fabulous explanations and detail. I'm very clear now on what I should be doing.
Oldie but goodie. Thanks so much. What I need right now to get my putting back to basics and make more putts.
Thank you Chris.
I just started playing again. I joined a league and our first practice round was last night. I 3 putted every green. I will keep it simple and just practice these drills you have shown. I've realized by trying to learn different skills on UA-cam the worst thing I can do is hop around to different channels. I'm happy I watched you first!! Thanks again.
Enjoyed the Video, my grip is very similar, I will Start using 2 pegs to practice. I always try to go back and through on the line of the put. Thanks Chris.
I’m brand new to the game and I stumbled into your videos not too long ago. You do an excellent job for amateurs like me to appreciate the game even more by being very intricate and verbose in your videos. I highly appreciate your work.
Thanks Jose very much appreciated 👍
Great video! I really enjoyed watching.
Absolutely fantastic and easy to understand instruction! Can't wait to see all of you video's!
Brilliant explainer ❤
I love these videos. Thank you so much. You are very good at what you do.
Great tutorial, thanks ⛳
Very exact instruction of how to set up to put well. Most helpful.
Good video. Tip: Aim small, miss small. Really focus at a point on the back of the ball that you're trying to strike with the putter - right down to the dimple. Keep your eye on it until you've hit the ball. I say this as it's actually really easy to just look at a non-specific point on the ball but if you can pick a small the spot you want to strike on the ball, the close you will be to it.

Great video. Really looking forward to the series. Putting has been the only stroke that works 90% of the time. Thanks Chris
Thanks Graham, hope you enjoy the rest of the series 👍
Best video on UA-cam for explaining the fundamentals of putting.
Thanks John appreciate it 👍
Absolutely love this video. The drills are really accessible and I'm hoping will take a few shots of the scorecard Chris, thanks a lot!
Thanks Adam 👍
Excellent basics
Great tips thanks.
Best putting instructional video on UA-cam. 👍
The best putting tip is to learn how to feel the speed correctly, after you have this dialled in , you can learn to read the French curve on a break properly.
Good video, thanks for the post .
Thank you for your videos!! Good and clear explanaitions! 👍👍
Thank you again Chris. Terrific explanation and drills of the four skills of putting. If I can putt like Rory or Cam Smith I would be a happy camper. Time to grab a couple of tees!
I think this will help me Chris because I was told years ago that I had to swing away from me
on the downswing.Ill try it and if there is an improvement I'll report back
Outstanding instruction. Thank you.
Hey bud
I may may be here 3 years after you posted it
Just come across this video really insightful.
Im a one handed golfer so this was helpful.
Btw just subscribed.
From south africa
Very good video. Thank you very much. You are excellent.
Hey bruh...just wanted to say thank you for this vid. My putting was a sour note in my game. Today I used your tips after watching the vid last night and shot 76. The best round of my 8yr golfing life. 14 pars and 4 boggies...and the putting was the difference. Big 👍👍👍👍👍 CR!!!!
Awesome, great to hear 👍👍
mailmanqcnc ，
Loved your attention to detail in this video. Thank you so much.
Good job... Great basic teaching!.. I would like some tips on pace control. A 3-put happens when the pace is off a significant amount, being too long or too short. If the pace was on you would have a much shorter 2nd putt. Any decent putter will have the line pretty close, but if the pace of off, well then we have a troublesome 2nd.. Thanks!
Excellent lesson
Great video. I’m a 11 handicap and it always seems like you need to go back to basics in this game. Thank you!!!!👍🏻
Thanks Richard
Awesome video. For me this is the "year of golf" and I'm looking for ways to improve my game. I look forward to the rest in this Back to Basics series!
Thanks Andrew hope the series helps
Excellent Chris, putting is something I need to work on so great information and demonstration which gives me great ideas to help my putting.
Thanks Adrian hope it helps
Really very good learning
Great video man! Gonna practice it tomorrow 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Good solid advice, thanks mate.
Great video!! And that's a sharp sweater!! You should make those available on your website shop!!
Thank you for covering this topic! Will be really helpful this year.
Thanks
Fantastic video thank you for improving our games!
Thanks Chris
Thank you very muck Chris. So detail and well described video. Appreciate it!
Thanks 👍
great video as always
Chris very nice lesson I did use the gate and it showed me that I was a bit outside on the take away. I used two supports with a long string from one to the other support that made the line the ball was to travel. It was a great help. Thanks Maybe I can putt better with these set ups
Thanks James, many of the things that can help you out we can make ourselves as you did 👍👍
excellent video! thank you!
Great Basics Chris. any tips on reading the line and also pace?
Great video Chris, looking forward to the next videos, I liked the phrase that i can be as good at putting as a pro, I never thought that way, it gives me alot of confidence, thanks
Thanks Jose
Excellent video on putting!
Well done Chris!!!
very nicely explained, thanks.
Thanks
Hello Chris, I just want to say that that your videos are amazing you help me a lot with chipping around the green and bunker shots.... I do have some putting issues and I was wondering if you can help me out or make another video about it. here is my issue if I use the line on the ball and pointed directly at the hole and when I stand over the ball I look like I'm aiming way left of the hole while my Potter is pointing to the right at the hole how can you help me fix that. Please make another video
Thanks Billy
Perfect Chris. Thank you
Chris, how do i make sure that i roll the ball when putting. My friend tell me to take out the 4 degrees loft off the putter!
Gracias por el video y ¡Bienvenido a España!
A beginners question: is it ever recommended to not watch the putter hit the ball but to focus on a spot 6 inches ahead of the ball that is on line?
Great stuff, Chris! Love that you're doing these back to basics. Think you could one day touch base on different style putting grips, like the claw grip, and maybe even discuss some additional tips on stances if someone is having ball striking issues? Thanks!
This was great, I been tryin to find out about "cant putt" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Graysonyon Putter Prolific - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my mate got great success with it.
Chris, although a few years old how can I get one of those addias sweaters with your logo on it. Sharp look n will catch sine eyes
Thanks
i am a 55 handicap and this video will help to reduce my puttings shoot
thanks
Thanks hope it helps 👍
Great videos
Hello again...in addition to left hand low (Jack Nicklaus' preferred way of putting) can you comment on the pluses and minus of using a forward press in putting like Jordan Spieth? Thanks again. Gerry
Thanks for this video
Thanks Brandon
I'm slightly confused at one point you state the putter head comes back on a slight angle and releases on a angle (angle is not the correct word but you probably know what I mean)...then on the 3rd drill you are attempting to keep the putter movement on the same path (straight).
ty
Chris...any chance you could do a video on left hand low putting? Big G
Hi Chris thanks for videos ive learned a lot already, how far from the ball do you suggest placing the gate.
Hi Peter, thanks and glad you enjoy the series. Really depends, I’d say fairly close, writhing 18” of the ball would be ideal 👍
nice video I will try the gate thing..
Thanks James 👍
Great instruction. looks like a nice place.
Thanks Andy, and yes was fantastic, I would highly recommend it
how do I fix brushing the putter head on the green during the forward putting stroke
So clear and well presented and explained. The lower body moving is a particular problem of mine that I need to work on ... got to hit the centre of the putter more often. Over the years I have tried many putters but my most comfortable feeling putter is an old bullseye style one that I’ve been accused of stealing from the local pitch and putt. It just seems so much easier to line up but the MOI is an issue .. off centre hits are killers.
Do I try to increase my ability to connect with the centre of the putter or continue the search for something else (I don’t seem to get on with face- balanced ones)? Many thanks for the vids and best wishes.
Thanks Colin, I would suggest both, try to find a putter with big MOI whilst also working hard on centres strike 👍
Good one Chris
Thanks Mike
Whats up with the green ? Looks like dollar spot or something ?
There is one major flaw in what you teach at the end. When practicing, timing naturally takes over and you just make everything. But when you come back the next day you will not be able to hit a damned thing again. The fix to that is to follow the teachings of Ben Crenshaw. He even taught Tiger. As Paul Azinger says, "All good putters know that you have to give up control of the putter in order to gain control of the putter". An ultra light grip and a swinging release is what Crenshaw advocates. This in effect takes you out of the putt and to where very little is important. The putter is swinging itself and thus has very little propensity to twist.
Hate to be a pain but did you ever do a video about left hand low and/or putting with a forward press? If yes, I can't find it/them. Thanks for everything. Gerry
Hi Gerry, I have done a video looking at different putting holds, but nothing specifically on the lead hand low or forward press elements I’m afraid 👍
Yo Chris...Jack Nicklaus said if he had to do it all over again that he would use left-hand low putting. May be worth a video? Secondly, Jordan Spieth and others use a forward press. Might be work another video? Big G.
Hi Chris, just watched your video on putting fundamentals and have to say just how well you covered all the basics, really excellent. One thing I like to do with my students, particularly those that find keeping their lower body quiet during the stroke is to take up an athletic set up at address, pushing their feet into the ground. This helps lock the lower body in position which I find gives great results and feedback.
Love the fact you use Phil Kenyons Visio putting AIDS, I find them really excellent too. One aid I use with the more elite golfer is a metre long rail which visibly shows what's happening to the first 3 feet of the putt.
Once again, really enjoy watching your presentations and look forward to seein more.
Regards, Gordon
Make putting far more detailed and complicated than necessary.
Hello everybody, my name is Paul and while anybody can hit a straight putt what about greens with ridges slopes if you putt downhill you can get a 9 due to slope, NO ONE SHOWS THESE AND I HAVE YET TO PLAY A COURSE WHERE GREENS ARE FLAT .
My whole life,i never took putting seriously like i do with irons,driver,and chipping..
Now all i ever do is watch youtube videos,and do drills of my own,and try to practice everyday...but honestly my biggest weakness on putting is distance,if i can have the right distance with the longer putts everytime,i can care less about my aim cuz i know that if i can just get it close i wont 3 putt...
Im just terrible with 30 ft or more at putting😭
Picture was so dark I could not see gates on green
The video was very good
Thank you
Can’t thank you enough for your videos. I’ve had years of lessons but your clear practical approach has improved my game immensely. Putting is my nemesis. I easily double my score, so hopefully things will get better. No more 3 putts!
I u
What putter is that?
TaylorMade Spider, great putters!
Wow! I just got one for my birthday, I knew it looked familiar!
Would be nice to hear it in the German language!
Video way too long for the info that was given, plus the ads😢
Nice ideas here, but please tighten up your presentation Chris. Seven minutes in the first tip begins.
Thanks for watching Bill, appreciate that this video was a little longer than usual but this was aimed and beginner golfers of newer golfers, so wanted to add info in about what putting is, set up, hold etc, for some the first part of this video was really useful, but appreciate that for an experienced golfer it may have covered things you already know. Hope some of my other videos are more suitable 👍👍
Got a lot of good info in the first 7 minutes.
Your idea was to keep it simple. There was nothing simple about your explanation. Ha ha ha..
Here is my explanation of "keeping it simple"
Confidently:
1) Read the green
2) Find the Line
3) give it the right speed.
That is simple, those are the outcomes, that’s like me saying to a beginner, just swing it like Rory McIlroy, simple 😂
Terrible. Too long, too detailed and too complicated. Putting should be the easiest part of golf and I think it’s 70% feel and just practice.
Mate you are far too Chatty. State you Claim, demonstrate it and cut your time in half. My honest opinion.
Thanks Terry, always open to opinions on how I can improve. Not sure how many of my videos you have watched but this video and this series were intentionally longer in length and more detail as they were aimed at beginner or newer golfers. This is why I was chatting about what the ball should do, how many putts etc, most of my vids are around 5-7 mins and a little more to the point 👍👍
ChrisRyanGolf Says a ton about your character to respond to criticism in the manner you did. I can't grasp the time and effort it takes in respect to making 1 video needless to say the amount you have. It could just be me, however most people inquire and search things for a need. That being said, showing the technique with brief explanation makes room for a person to segment a "why" video to their demonstration video. What do I know 😂.. I'm just a consumer... Let me go give your other videos a fair shake. Again, I applaud the work you are investing.
Get to the point!
Haifeng Lai very mature . You offer a product and as a consumer I offer a feedback and this is how you respond ? With profanities ?
So much talking omg
This was the purpose of the video, ‘back to basics’ if you knew the info in the first few mins then this video wasn’t for you. Plenty out there who learnt lots from this 👍👍
ChrisRyanGolf for sure
Holy crap! 7 mins in until you say anything useful. Don't even putt until after 10 mins. This could be an 8 min video and it's over 20
Hi Chris, I love your videos, they are very well done. I found the how to stop 3 putting video very helpful and then explored more of them. What putter are you using? Thanks!
great refresher..........any more tips on alignment? I'm consistently missing low.
At 17:50 when you say putt stroke should have some arc to it...does that apply for face balanced putters also?
Great video but a common problem I see and sometimes I do is following the ball with the eyes just hitting it and especially when stress is on the way....
Thanks
JP from Canada
Thanks Chris, great reference video, will be practising these exercises, good to remind yourself of the basics. Looking forward to rest of the series.
Thanks David
Long winded
