Future video idea. Maybe talk about different ball lies. ie. Hitting out of a diviot, 1st cut, 2nd cut etc. How does the lie effect the ball flight etc. Thanks

Hey Shawn. Just want to say thank you for making golf more approachable. I grew up where only those with money could play. Now that I’m older and golf has many more doors open, I’ve taken it up as my favorite sport. I started 3 yrs ago and believe me when I say I stunk. I’m still working on my game, but your lessons have helped a lot. I am shooting consistantly in the lower 80’s. Again thank you from Oklahoma.

I don’t have the 999.79$ required to pay for that **** putter

Hey Crazymama! Have a look at my “golf pro lesson putt grip” video and you will see that your interlocking grip is not too far away from the double overlapping grip that many PGA tour players use; Thanks for the question! Shawn

hi shawn. seen the grip lessons but it has become a habit to grip the putter with the interlocking grip and i feel rather diffiucult to change the grip now. im an average putter and will it create a problem later on as my game progresses. pl comment on it shawn as ive received advice from my co golfers to change the grip.

Hey Alex; Sorry for the delay!
Go see a reputable fitter who is also a PGA instructor; he will tell you; Shawn

Hey James;
As you will see from the other putting videos I have, the putter and arms as one unit will find it’s own arc once you are in a solid posture with the arm-putter unit hanging from the shoulder sockets; see the “Golf Pro lesson Perpetually putting” video for fine tuning; eyes over the ball is very secondary to posture and balance; once the line is established, you do not want to try to keep the putter on line; you let it ride the line with momentum and let momentum track it; the best!

Hi Shawn, enjoy your vid’s. Got a putting question. Straight line vs Arc putting. On the arc there will only be one small point on the arc where the putter is square to the target, whereas straight line putting it’s always straight, so what’s the advantage of one over the other, also do you try and keep your eyes over the ball whichever way you use.

Regards

James

ok i got a question when putting where suppose to be over the ball but when i putt and stand over the ball it feels wierd and that my putter is to long … but when i go back to my original style of putting where da toe is like pointing up it feels fine…. well im jux wondering should i cut my putter down ?

Yes; you want to have the very same posture as the “Posture and Balance” video with the arms and putter hanging in balance below the shoulders; same posture as the chipping in the “Nike Heavy Gloves” part 2 video…
Thanks for the comment! Shawn

Working on my putting here in the winter in Ohio, my question is I am trying to unlearn the right over the ball stance when putting, my knees should be slightly bent in address? in the method you are showing and letting my arms hang. Also very good tips on all your vids, I almost feel like stealing with all the info I have gained, THANKS again.

oki, thanks:D

Dont worry and Thanks

Sorry about the delay Hoyster!
Cross Handed, claw, saw, are all good; the key is feeling that the triangle of the shoulders, arms and putter swings with momentum as one unit; my wife is a great putter, she started putting way better after we switched her over to the cross handed grip…:) Shawn

Hey Anders; thank you for your comment;
I do have that putting video; just look in the “Short Game section” of the “You Tube Shawn” page of my website;
Shawn

What do you think about the reverse putting grip?? What would you suggest?

Hi Shawn. Rutine is very importan, I had trained that meany meany times and a lot’s of hours. Now I get a good rutine and have a well putt mutch of the time. But I find very quikley out that putting is something every golfer must train at. Maybe you cood teach us long putts, maybe I cood find out something new:)
Anders

I have a nice 15 minute segment on my DVD on this one…:) Bottom line you need to think about where the water is going to go…find out where the drains are around the greens and if there was a deluge from a storm, where would the water go because any good designer will not let it pool on the greens!! It will go there either directly or indirectly…Shawn

Hey shawn, Is there any way you can make a video about judging the green? I know this is something that comes with much practice but my score are being destroyed because of 3 and 4 putts but cause of bad green judgment. =( -Mark

Thanks for the video Shawn, I am a right handed player but i have my left hand on the bottom and leading in my putting stroke, I would like do know if you have tried the long putters, and whats the benefits/disadvantages of them, Right now I am using a putter that is about the same as a mini golf putter Ekk..

thanks u helped me a hole lot!!!!!!!

Good vid Shawn. Been jabbing at my putts and your comment about flow / falling hopefully will help. Thx.

Hi Shawn, Many thanks from Australia for all your great videos.
I would appreciate your comments/video regarding the use of the long putter?

Hey WJWJ;
As long as the putter allows you to set up the way I show you and feels good during the stroke you are fine; watch your stroke in the mirror from down the line view and see what the arc looks like and feel if the putter flows with or against this motion; Shawn

ok that doesnt work lol
type in brian manzella, go on his profile and watch the video ‘the sheriff’
