Was just trying it to troll a friend... but yeah, the results were pretty great. I spend a lot more time looking at my line and imagining how the ball will roll now pre-putt, but I look down at the ball before swinging just so I don't duff it.
@@golf7762 Since watching you putt this way I gave it a try and to my surprise I have never putted better. My speed is so much better and I'm making very long and also short putts that I would have missed before. I feel I can make every putt I face with this style. Never had this kind of confidence before! Thanks for the video on this!
@@keplerts That's awesome. There's some interesting research on it, but I think the crux of it is it gets you a lot more focused in on your target, line, and effort-level, and a lot less focused on your stroke/strike.
@golf7762 I agree, I am totally focused on the hole and don't concern myself with the stroke. I haven't missed the ball yet! I haven't read anything about it. I'm afraid if I do I will get too absorbed with what others think about how it should be done and ruin my uncluttered mind with all the micro details. Now I just pick my line, focus on the hole and hit the ball with my putter. Pretty simple.
I use this method on longer putts of say 40 feet and longer, and I think it helps with distance control and a smoother stroke.
That was my experience as well. When I got a broomstick putter I stopped doing it while getting used to the new feel, and distance control suffered
Sold!
Wow, you were making some long putts. Is this your go to putting technic now?
