This is glorious, I have been researching "proper putting" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Graysonyon Putter Prolific - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my partner got amazing results with it.
BE BETTER GOLF great explanation thank you
Great video mate! How many putts per round do you think you average at now?
I don't ever post comments on UA-cam. But I can't help myself here. This lesson single-handedly changed my golf game. I have continually accepted that I was just not a good putter and putting has kept me from breaking 80 my entire life. After watching this and getting a putting mirror, I immediately realized I was WAY over top the ball and looking back towards my feet. It's unbelievable how much this has helped me see the correct line better. This weekend I shot 78 for the first time in my life breaking 80 with 28 putts. But more importantly, I feel confident once I'm on the green and for that I am eternally grateful. Just wanted to comment in here to let you guys know that what you do with this channel really does make a difference and has a positive impact on people. And don't listen to the idiots on this thread tell you otherwise.
Andrew Dopson congratulations
Agreed! and for free
This Mike Malaska is clearly super passionate about golf. I love his way of thinking. Loving these vids featuring him
waddaplaya
Thanks for introducing us to this video
If it's good enough for the Playa in Chief, it's good enough for me!
“Waddaplaya” indeed. Thanks for introducing Mike to a soon to be playa!
Waddaplaya sent me...
Seriously, one of the best-putting videos I have ever seen! Thank You!
Alan Sterling thx!!!
Alan Sterling he may be ADD OR ADHD you never know
I am going to be doing this - I want to post a video on breaking Par not Breaking 80 only!!!
Agreed, extremely helpful

Easy Cowboy! You have to learn to crawl before you can walk! Unless you're talented like myself, I came out of the womb running and break dancing. But for you less advanced humans...learn to crawl first.
This was a priceless putting lesson!!! I’m a scratch golfer and ive heard it all- but this is solid gold!! Thank you for sharing 👍
That is the single best golf instruction video that I have ever seen ( and I have seen thousands). I have been playing off 12 and blowing most of my handicap on the greens. My playing partners cannot believe the massive change in my putting results since I have been using the alignment from this video. I even got my putter reset by 3 degrees (flatter) to fit with the new wider setup. Thank you Mike for sharing your knowledge.
This is GENIUS. I never thought about setting my eyes first and then my body to my eyes. I've always struggled with my line looking wrong when standing over the ball. Excellent, Excelent video.
The best putting video I have ever seen!! Literally I have watched so many vids and got nothing great from them! This guy is awesome
Great video, thanks a lot. When I started golf some 20 years ago I aligned naturally with my eyes and I soon became one of the best putters of the club where I played. Sometimes along the years I lost this natural sense of alignement, I changed stance again and again and my putting now is very standard, if not below standard.
Now I suddenly understand what I did well in the past, and I'm sure next time I get out to play things will come back.
Excellent video. I frankly don't understand all the haters when what you give here is worth gold in putting lessons.
That was actually pretty amazing! So standing with your eyes inside the ball is not bad like so many say having eyes over ball!
I recently watched this video again. Something clicked for me this time. I practiced it and am now putting much, much better. My lack of putting ability was really holding me back. Thank you!
Thank you lads. Helped my putting more than anything I've ever seen or heard
This video has changed me....makes so much sense now. Thank you...really, thank you!
Thanks again for yet another superb video. I struggle tremendously with putts, especially those 6foot and in putts that you mentioned. The way Mike explained how to setup for a putt was simple enough to understand and provided great tips. Also, thank you for included the last two to three minutes regarding handle pulling. Seeing him demo it using you made complete sense. I too, often pull down and forward instead of down and away from my body. Im going to give this a try at the range.
I attempted this putting technique today because I have this exact visual distortion... and to my surprise, all my putts started precisely on the line of my intended target! Thanks for the awesome tip!
He paid for the lesson chill out
15:49 is GOLD. Many instructors forget or are unaware of this small but critical detail. Mike is a world class coach.
I played through college and I never knew or was taught this. Absolutely brilliant explanation.
Wow, thank you for taking us along on your awesome adventure !!! I hit the ball really good yesterday using Tony's throwing motion! I love Bobby Lopez offside concept. can't forget Monte in the Long Beach open just striping the ball. Mike malaska and the eye line procedure is #*$#€@$ awesome !!!!!!
Thank you so much for this !!!!!!!!!
have you ever gone to church and feel like the sermon is directly towards you? well this is how i feel about this putting instruction i set the line of the ball exactly where it needs to go, get set up and it looks bad from top of the line so i hit about 15-20 degrees off the ball line. and guess what? i effing miss hahah. thanks for this video it is truly eye opening. this video is absolutely the best putting video ive seen.
Lol
was going to make my own comment but this summed it up perfectly. great video
Alan - I have the same problem for aiming! Has this drill worked for you?
it has worked for me but its so damn difficult to not trust your eyes and if you are not committed to the putt then youll most likely miss. you really need to trust the line and the ball will go in.
I am currently a scratch golfer and had the exact same problem. the line looked wrong when i stood over it, but correct when i looked at it from behind. you know what i did to solve the problem? I forgot about my ego and i just trusted the line on the ball that i lined up from behind. I TRUSTED IT. guess what!?!?! I started making a lot more putts. it really is as simple as just forgetting about everything when you stand over the ball and trusting it.
Best putting lesson - thank you Mr Malaska - I’m a big fan of your lessons - Keith from San Francisco
Great video. I didnt think you interrupted Mike at all. It looked like a lesson and I enjoyed it.
The best putting video I've ever seen. Great work guys
Helped my putting confidence tremendously knowing you're seeing a straight line from every distance. Thanks for the video.
OMG, I could give this guy a big hug. I admit it, I am a lousy lousy putter. Though the line of the ball told me to hit it one way, my eyes have ALWAYS been in complete disagreement. Mike, I can't wait to put this to use. If it works for me, I'm going to be one happy person.
Case in point from a golf round a few weeks ago--After my first two holes (par 4s), I'm 6 feet away for birdie on both holes. I end up one over. Next hole I'm on the green in reg, and I 3 putt that too. You're the first person that I've ever heard address this issue.
In all fairness, it's been tough with all the practice putting greens closed.
Just to add to my comment (a week later), I've played a few times and using this instruction for putting. I used to miss a lot of 3 and 4 footers. Now I'm making most of them and I'm seeing 6 footers going in with greater regularity. I'm pretty excited.
This is the BEST butting lesson I have ever watched! I wish this pro would give advice on putter choice (Blade V Mallet etc)
One of the best putting videos I have seen thus far
WOW THIS WAS THE MOST HELPFUL VIDEO ON PUTTING I HAVE EVER SEEN, PLAYED 18 AND BROKE 70 GOOD GOD UR A GREAT HELP
Malaska is good ...seriously good instructor
Dude is a putting jedi.
This Video combined with BOB ROTELLA's PUTTING OUT OF YOUR MIND have transformed my putting miraculously...from someone who has been suffering from yips for a very long time(I couldn't putt from 6ft) I would literally cringe at the sight of those short putts,my hands/forearms would tense badly and I would mainly pull my putts and miss them to the left.
Now after 3 weeks of applying this line reading technique and reading BOB ROTELLA's Book...They have transformed me into this mean putting machine,my confidence has soared and now I confidently sink EVERYTHING from 20ft(of course there's those occasional misses but I can tell you now,they are very near misses,lip outs and rimming the cup,they are no longer those wayward off the line misses)If you asked me what the yips are I would look at you like I don't know what/who you're talking about.
This is by far THE BEST PUTTING TECHNIQUE I have ever received...This technique is so good that 1,I can putt with my eyes closed and 2 I confidently putt and listen to the ball drop in the hole(BOBBY LOCKE).
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ALLEN STERLING and MIKE MALASKA for sharing this video.
This is the very, very best putting alignment. I kept missing my putts to the left, I'm a lefty. I know I was off so I moved the face of the putter to compensate-but in time that did not work and I would start missing left and sometimes right. Tried to adjust my right elbow out to the straighten the putter-but that too failed over time. Yesterday, I tried your method and really worked at and I was now hitting the center of the cup ALL THE TIME. I put much more effort in alignment of the a spot and the ball and it works every time. Also, as I did this I became more comfortable and assured that my aim was correct. I also noticed that as I focused on the line up to a spot my head did not move either. Great video.
Thank you Mr Malaska! 20 years ago i was a single handicapper with a bad putting stroke. My game was based on hitting 70-80% of the fairways and 2 putt most of the greens. Now it's diffferent, because my short game is becoming strong, mostly because of your putting clinic! It is great to know that you can always relate on your putting game, even if you have a bad day swinging the golf clubs. I want more of this!
This is the best thing I've ever seen. This makes sense of every putting woe I've ever thought about. I typically have issues trusting my line over the ball. Thanks Mike and thanks BBG!!
Best video so far. Thanks guys
I needed this. It's about the process, not the outcome.
I'm a streaky putter, and this is why!!! Some days I can see the line perfectly, and other days it just doesn't register to my eye. This WILL become my new focus. Great stuff, Mike!
This video is best instruction you ever get. Literally took me from a 14 to a 8 in less then 2 months cause ive dropped 6 to 8 shots on average every round in putts.
Best logic I've seen to help me with my putting, thanks.
I'm so lucky to find this clip, great putting and swing tips.
Honestly this is probably the best putting video I have watched. I had previously worked on the first part of getting the line on the ball to roll straight and not wiggle but have never addressed the second part where my subconcious mind wont trust the line. Thanks for the great advice!
this is GOLD. All the videos to drive the ball better are fantastic, but driving is for show, putting is for $$$!!!
+Ernie Santamaria 🙂
Spoken like a true 245 yard avg driver.
Best putting lesson l had ever had and thank you!
I just go by what Happy Gilmore says: "whoa whoa whoa, you're confusing me, just let me put the ball in the hole!"
Wow. This is great. I've never heard anyone talk about this. The line is correct, fit your eye so it looks right from your putting position. Can't wait to try this process on course
This video has completely changed my putting for the better. Thank you
Best putting lesson I’ve seen
One of the best videos I have seen.....it is logical!
Went to the putting green today to try out this and his other putting tips. I am sold!!
Best putting vid ive ever seen...So true about picking mark on the green from behind the ball then doubting it over the ball. I will try this afternoon. Thanks for posting guys
Had the PLEASURE to have him and the late Jim Flick as joint instructors 25 years ago , Excellent You should get his instructions. at any age if you want to play serious golf
That was the best putting video I have ever seen! Wow does that clear it all up!
I’m a good putter and stumbled on this myself as I couldn’t understand why I missed some !
Everyone has a different eye sight and it dose play tricks when you set up ! This is a great technique to follow …. Kudos to the boys ! 👏
Wow! Great! Being a beginner and watching so many videos, this is definitely the most helpful putting video I've seen!
Great interview. Thank you for curating the great pros like this...
One of the best videos on putting I have ever seen on the internet
+Ryan Ki thanks
Ryan Ki j
Have been looking for a solution to this problem for years. Very good golf video thank u.
I went to a practice green and followed your steps. After a little adjusting of my stroke, I was able to make the ball roll end over end with a line. I have played golf a long time and never experienced anything like this on a practice green. I put 6 balls down with lines. The putts ranged from 4,6, 8, 10,12 feet and the last one from about 20 feet. You will never guess what happened. I rolled the first 5 puts in the cup and narrowly missed the 20 footer. A great system that I am going to use from now on. Thank you for the tip. Monte Winterhalter
Ur name is hilarious 😂😂😂
Step 1. Read the green way before you're even on it. Look at it as you approach it. Try to walk up to the green the way the hole was designed. Usually from the middle. Then when you start to walk on it you feel the slopes much better. Compare that vision to the one you feel/think when over the ball. Calculate after comparison. Step 2. It also helps to know wich of your eyes are the dominant one. Use that eye more for a true sight of vision. Applies for the long game to. Then learn from the great lesson above. Mike is a true great teacher.
Thank you for spending time with Mike and sharing what he gave you with us.....this is a $1,000 dollar lesson
went to a party at his house, awesome place. Has a guest house for his celebrity clients, a fitting studio with a simulator and all kinds of clubs, including prototypes, and the best part: a whole series of little tee boxes and greens that weave around (and over) the pool and back yard for chipping practice. Lots of fun and man does he have great hands, put on a chipping show
Jeff F who's house Mike or the other guy?

Wow. Thanks very much. This has helped me tremendously. I am so happy I found this video. I have saved 5 Strokes so far per round due to these techniques.
i know it is an old video.. but i just went out an played my home course. (new member). the greens run at like a 10-13. I 3 put so many darn greens. So many breaks. 141 slope on my blues, 151 from tips. I two put or better every green and these are the hardest greens I have ever touched. So slippery... this allowed me to just focus on my distance of puts... Thank you so much. About my only complaint will probably come from folks I play with, as it takes me a little bit to get it aimed correctly from 30-40 feet, LOL.
Great video! Thank you! I hope you post more videos of you two working together... thank you again!
Practiced this method at home during the week then took to the practice green. Zero three putts and finished round with 31 putts for the first round trying. Most putts hit in the middle of the hole. Was burning the edge too much prior on the 4-5 footers with my eyes over the ball. This method definitely made a difference for me and will keep practicing.
I tried this in my garage, then played this past weekend and had my BEST PUTTING DAY in a LOOONNNGG time! Thanks you!!!
I had to come back an find this video because it has been the single best tip for putting I've ever had. I would say I have decent touch with the putter without a clue. Now, I would say I've got decent touch with the putter, and now, I've got a clue! With a couple exceptions because of miss reads, I didn't do more than two putt all day. Tanks!
Oh, by the way, I made a drastic improvement over my very mediocre putting without going to the practicing green before playing several rounds today. Tanks again!
Super putting drill and advice...Thanks!
Great video, I really struggle with getting my eyes aligned and never feel like I am pointing where I need to be. Going to give this a shot.
So simple but makes SO much sense. Can't wait to try it.
So, gave it a try and I'm a believer. Like others have said though TRUST your line cuz it does look different standing over it!
I have had this problem for 5 years.. Well done good Sir, problem adjusted and fixed. Thank-you.
Hey, BD, I was lining up with my eyes well inside the ball several years ago for a brief period, and I could see the line so much better that way. Don't know why I got away from it, but this video was a great reminder to revisit it. Thanks for posting, and keep the great content coming!
I just wanted to give honor where honor is due. You are due honor (at least for this video). I followed a link in a video by Golf Sidekick and so glad I did. I've been practicing/playing as you've described since and it makes a tremendous difference in the result! Thanks again.
the hobbyist whattaplaya!
Blown away with this video; how to line up the ball (always had issues with the line on the ball in relation to the hole), the eyes finding an optimal place where the line looks good, etc. Excellent.
completely agree. got fitted for this eye line ages ago and makes a huge difference.
Simple yet fascinating on the putting thoughts... eye opener.
Wow is all I can say. I am killing it putting. Thanks for this video.
I like this. I’m gonna work on this tomorrow!
winter putting training here we come😊 Thanks
Great advice, my difficulty is the 6 foot puts. This makes so much sense to me now!
Tried the drill form 4 ft. and couldn't get my eyes to see the line when i got over the ball to putt. So I went like a foot from the hole and tried again. Surprise, surprise when I got my eyes about 6 inches OUTSIDE the ball then it looked lined up. Yet this is the first thing you're told not to do when learning to putt. Now I can actually see the line when standing over the putt!!!
Never would have ever considered doing that without this drill, thanks.
This is one of the most important putting lessons. A MUST WATCH!
Thx
Every year I come away from my golf season thinking my iron play need improvement but at least my putting is spot on. my putting (in my mind is great). but this Guy has just kicked the arse out of that notion. absolutely brilliant video as always Brendon.
Great video, I learned a ton from this
this is the only putting video you ever need to see
Incredibly helpful video. 30 years ago I happened upon a drill that uses a straight, 10 ft putt and two ball markers (about 1 ft apart) placed precisely in line with the hole. The drill required placing the ball in front of the back marker and stroke it over the other marker. I was amazed to find that I was consistently aligning myself to the right of the straight line but that my stroke (unbeknownst to me) was consistently "pulling" the ball back toward the straight line. As well, I'm a "spot putter" and after I choose my "spot" from behind the ball, the take my address position, the spot always seems to be aimed too far to the right.
I have still been doing this drill from time-to-time to prevent pulling and missing left (which is my consistent miss).
I have always tried to align with my eyes over the ball. It makes more sense, as this video advises, to align my eyes and address position so that the line looks straight. This makes much more sense. I'm going to give this a try. Thanks.
I've studied Peltz books but this technique is very simple and eliminates a lot of variables. Thank you.
Very very good! Learned a lot here. The thing with the line to see if your putting is efficient is very clever.
After aligning the line on my ball precisely at my target, I would go thru my pre-shot routine, step over to putt the ball, and every time I looked to verify that I was aimed at my target it “looked” as if I was off my mark. This video is a relief; I thought something was physically wrong with my eyes and it was driving me crazy. Good to know that I just need to adjust my eyes over the ball; not surgery. For decades I was taught to have my eyes directly over the ball. 🤷♂️🤦♂️

Michael
This video made some good points about eye alignment. Big factor is posture and neck position. Whenever my posture is off/bad I know I can't look down the target line.
I actually worked out the putting line by accident the other week by mistake. I was mimicking my mates crouched over putting position and boom everything lined up straight away. Its amazing how much of a difference it makes.
Totally applies to my vision. Never trust my ball line unless very close and end up pushing or pulling. Cant wait to try.
Insanely Great teacher! Wish I could get a personal lesson with him.
Great putting tips, can't wait to practice them and implement them.
Fantastic video. Thank you both!! Can't wait to go practice
Tried this on the practice green today. The longer the putt, the longer it takes to ensure the line on the ball is indeed lined up correctly by using the putter shaft as a straight edge, and then readjusting the ball and line on it in relation to the hole. I think using this method can cure yipping putts because it is its own process. I found I had to forward press my hands (therefore putter face) much more than I was, in order to get the ball tumbling properly so that the line on the ball didn't wobble much. Bumpy greens can send the ball into a wobble motion however. I really like the instant feedback you get from using the line and really had no idea there was a purpose to it and thought guys just pointed the line to the hole for a "basic" reference. Aiming the line on the ball with the shaft is very important, as I found that placing the line on the ball to what I thought was at the cup usually was off by quite a bit and it wasn't until I used the putter shaft and readjusted the line, that I was able to roll in long putts with confidence or at least have them so close to going in. Keep in mind that at about 12 feet, you only have 1 degree of variance with the putter face or you will miss the putt.
I will use this method during tomorrow's round but I'm sure it might take some practice to do it quickly. Don't want to piss off playing partners. Thanks for the tip. Knowledge is King and doing something with purpose and understanding, just might blow the competition away! I've said for years now that the reason I miss so many Putts is because I hit my line ... it just turns out that my line is quite far off the line I should be rolling it on.
I'm not sure I fully understand what is happening when the instructor gets you to move your eyes closer or further from the intended line with the Tee. I tried that today as well and I don't know what I'm supposed to see, one way or the other. It's not like I see the Stars align or something? Whether above or off the line, everything seemed to be in line? Perhaps you can explain that better?
1 Putt he’s just first trying to get you to find what ‘looks’ best to your eye. Some instructors preach eyes over the ball to everyone. Apparently that doesn’t work for everyone’s subconscious so he wants to find your alignment spot first and foremost. THEN set your body up and roll the putts. The tee being hidden by someone is to assure your lines are making visual and subconscious sense.
Played a Round after watching this and the difference was amazing! Thanks
This will be something for me to work on for the winter in the basement. Thanks
Mike when you stepped in and blocked the hole. I thought you were kidding, and then realized just how distracting the hole can be .Even after you feel confident in your alignment. It’s staying with the set up, after finding the line. I feel as if I understand the importance of where your focus should stay. Nicely shared ⛳️ So looking forward to being outside once this virus is over.All the best ☀️
Huge! Can't wait to get to the course to do this.
Oh wow, learned alot from this. Great video.
Thx a lot for this content. I'm following you for quite some time now, having the chance to get tips from those people is priceless. I personally can use all of those drill. Maybe your best video so far. Thx again, keep on the good work.
