    Liam, thank you for bringing these lessons to us. There were several things he mentioned that I'm going to focus on next time I practice. Especially keeping my putter flat on the ground. I may be already doing that but I don't know and that in itself could be a problem.

    @griffy2000 8 місяців тому +2

    I'm sure someone has commented before and you're aware, but i'll mention it anyway; you do your practice swings and then just push the club head forward 4-6 inches to hit the ball without adjusting your stance distance to the ball. That alone would cause your club to lie toe up. You do this with all of your clubs. The driver for example you push forward what looks like 6-8 inches. I can't help but think that changes all sorts of angles and club head contact. Anyway, fun channel.

    Finally after 20 min he discusses dominant eye. May I suggest using both hands (sametime) to find your dominant eye. Using one hand, you may cheat to one or side another. With both eyes open, find your target first then lift your hands and see your target with your dominant eye. 17:02 17:09 When he changed your putter lie with your grip he actually put your eye over the ball. He likes the ball forward cuz he's left eye dominant. I would hazard to guess you're short cuz you are farsighted and your Rx sees things closer than they are. (Magnified)

    • @dannyblair5556
      @dannyblair5556 8 місяців тому

      If there is one thing that is under explored in putting, it is the role of the dominant eye, Liam you have a window here to really go into it, anyone who sits behind the ball looking at the break, sees it one side, then stands over the ball and sees something different, this because of your dominant eye.

    My Pro got to hit 9 putts on a wicked green to see what I did; I hit them in 3 different ways. So we worked on a process like Gary suggested on every putt, and my strike and distance control has dramatically improved. So it's process, process and process. Also had the putter fitted for lie and loft, so when I changed the putter after 23 years to a modern one, a simple adjustment to the same spec and away I went. Excellent video and tips as ever from GM :)

    @2Eaglez 8 місяців тому +2

    Really enjoyed this video. One item mentioned that I do disagree with is using the line on the ball for alignment to the hole. As a right eye dominant player, the line standing over the ball is not the same as the line standing behind the ball. For me, using the line created a slight pull on every putt.

  • @8749steve
    @8749steve 8 місяців тому

    Absolutely great video Liam. I’m a fairly new golfer and my putting has been a big let down to what could have been a decent score.
    I have never set up with the ball forward of centre and never had my lead wrist in front of the ball.
    After playing yesterday, I tried both and my putting improved by 70% still not perfect but much more accurate and good pace. Not so many 3 puts! It can only get better!

    Every Golf mate should get their putter's fitted! I use a putter that I purchased when I was16 years old! My golf pro told me that my putter was too short for me, and he extended the shaft to fit my height, as I was 6'6" and since my putter is a brass blade.putter, he made out a little more upright for me. It's why I have used a blade putter for so long...I still have all the measurements in my notebook. When I had my knee surgeries, the one thing I could do during my rehab was putting!

  • @x3ndr0
    @x3ndr0 8 місяців тому

    It's curious you're doing a putting lesson cos I am currently looking at putters. For sure I will do a putting fitting cos I really want to know if I'm using the right putter for my type of stroke I have a blade toe hang. But I do feel that I would do better with a face balanced putter... Thanks for the tips.

Impressive to watch don't how he does it, or indeed the majestic scoopie woopie. You Liam have a challenge now of finding a putting process, engraine it, switch on the focus at the right time, while you're chatting through the putt for the channel. All the best keep up the good work.

    @dannyblair5556 8 місяців тому

    If there is one thing that is under explored in putting, it is the role of the dominant eye, Liam it must beght make a good video on its own, anyone who sits behind the ball looking at the break and sees it coming from one side, then when they stand over the ball they see something different, this because of your dominant eye. Understanding this can mean you have to move the ball position in your stance. It is one of the reasons that putters are placed at different angles at the bottom of the shaft.

    For me it’s just a feel.
    Sure I would like more birdies but I fear any attempt at change could have a negative effect 🤔
    I should ad I am playing with a 50yr old putter that I never felt the need to change.

    Have to admit I found this confusing, but then again I am an idiot. The bits where he was explaining to YOU about aim, blue tack on the putter, and mising the coin seemed to be directed specifically towards You, but we as the viewers did not see what it was he was talking about..... I do feel he is a good one on one instructor, but from the viewers point of view was slightly confusing as we could not see what you could see.... As I said, i am an idiot , so maybe it was just me. Still I llked this vid, and realise how difficult it is for you to show things from your point of view.

    You used to be a great putter that's why I got a daddy long legs putter to help me be as good as you 👍🏻

    Liam I think you worry too much about the consequences of going long you worry about McKenzie's, drop offs, edge of green ect, anything really.So just play a round where your target is NOT coming up short, see what happens,,,,

    Wow that took too long to hole a putt. What you say makes sense, but what you do doesn’t inspire confidence
