There was one big change though. I noticed my grip started to get more counteractive. It was like my right and left hand were wringing the clubs neck and working against each other, creating a lot of tension.
I used the Callaway Swing Easy a few times before this and noticed how stress free and relaxed my stroke was, so when Michele showed me the new grip, it was an easy switch for me!

Brilliant piece of equipment and easy to use - I don't like wearing jewlery but it doesn't bother me. I wear it far enough above my glove that it doesn't interfere with my wrists.

Michele Low = excellent instructor
@@balance3201 can you tell me why you think so?
Balance cannot explain!
This is, by far, the best tip/lesson I’ve ever seen on putting. I watched the video on 2/19/21 and decided to switch my putting grip and stroke like she presented it, but with a little more open stance. Next day I played and I tried her technique on the practice green for 15 minutes and immediately saw progress. I normally finish a round with around 33 putts (I’m a 20 handicap). In this round I hit 28 putts with no 3 puts, 2 holed from the fringe at 8 and 18 feet, and a few very close ones! Thanks!
I really liked the putting with palms facing out grip. That takes my wrist out of play immediately. I am a pretty good putter but when I missed, it’s from the wrist movement. Thanks Michelle and Matt.
This is probably one of the best, if not the best putting lesson I've seen. It's also interesting because I've always thought your putting and chipping were the strongest parts of your game! :D There's always room for improvement, eh!
You mentioned releasing this video a while ago and I have been waiting for it ever since. It does not disappoint. Many great tips and I can't wait to try them out myself. I wish every golfer had access to teachers like Michele, Eric and Genevieve. That's the scariest part for me - finding a teacher who will lead me down a better path.
Michelle is a top coach and together you are a great team. More like this Matt. Everytime you two get together I learn so much. Keep it coming!
Absolutely love these videos with Michele. In your first video with her said something so simple yet it has improved my putting leaps and bounds. I at least enjoy putting much more now, much more flow and smoothness in my stroke now. And she’s pretty sweet too 😜
Michele is an awesome instructor...much more of Michele please!
Best putting lesson I have ever seen . I immediately improved
My putting and it feels very natural
Best RUclips golf instruction video I have ever watched. Gripping the putter from underneath with palms facing forward has changed my game. Simple change for massive results. Thank you.
I really like her teaching style. Answered a lot of questions for me
Dude, Broseph, Baus. This is a fantastic video, thank you for sharing your lesson with us.
I watched a Phil Nickelback video on putting a long time ago, and so many things are the same, ball forward, left eye over, shoulder turn.. this is SO GREAT. Nice one, have a beer on me.
Float your golf balls in salt water(it takes a lot of salt) once you get the ball floating, lightly spin it and when it stops,the lightest part of the ball is pointing up. Carefully pick it up and put a sharpie dot on the dimple sticking out of the water nearest to center. Put another on the opposite side that will be the heaviest. I use two colors of sharpies. Then when I putt I’m putting lightest to heaviest end over end to aid in the ball rolling truer. I find it really helps especially on longer putts. Try it helped me.
Never that before. Will give it a shot
@@mikechristensen4809 there’s a RUclips video titled. Subtle things that make your putts go in instead of lipping out. 11 minute video. Check it out
Hi Matt, you are really lucky to have Michelle giving you lessons. One of the best putting lessons I have seen, hoping to learn more.
Love these videos with Michele, wada teacher. Also loving the pastel
This is one of my favorite videos on putting. Michelle is just a genius. I would love to come and get a putting instruction from her.
As usual you address the basic fundamentals so well, Michele: elbows tucked in to ensure shoulder movement; ball under left eye & top the ball (hitting above equator) to prevent skidding of the ball; handle above the ball. Excellent! Stay safe, Pro
Aloha from Hawaii!! Playa I tried looking back for your very first videos where you told us to look at the hole when making your practice strokes, I swear you said that before! And I remember you told us to always keep your head down and listen for the sound of the ball going in the cup.
Now watching this video and hearing your explanation of why you're where you're at now, more so I'm like "Man, this Playa had it from the beginning!"
I'm stoked I got in on the ground level with you chief. Applying the principles you taught from the first videos, plus your generously sharing what you've been learning from the pros, has led to me breaking 100 for the first time ever. Unreal!
Big mahalo to you Matt! If you ever make it out to Oahu, Hawaii, we go plant some feathers and grow some birdies🤙🏽
I really liked this... started (a) practicing short putts and (b) tucking my elbows in and having ball forward ... I could see how the hit on the up gets the ball rolling nicely straight away. Putted like a Baus yesterday... pete, high handicapper
I have been having lessons with a specialist putting coach (national team level coach) and I have to say that some of the things you have talked about are also the same way that I thought of putting. The 2 main ones (fundamentals) were the need to accelerate through the ball and also to follow through double the distance.... boy was i surprised to find out that this most basic of ingrained fact is actually wrong! I know it's strong words but it's been proven to me on SAM putt lab stats time and again. He now has me taking the putter back further (and faster) and have the 'feeling' of dropping the club on the back of the ball - but actually with a constant speed. Matt, this has blown my mind bro. He has taken my hands and wrists out of it. I also have the shaft vertical (no forward press). I rock from the shoulders now with an arc and the strikes are just amazing, it's as big a deal and mind opening revelation as when you get proper strike in the main swing. There is more than one way to skin a cat and when you watch Nicklaus putting in the 70's he is clearly an effective putter and not doing this but once you feel it you will never ever go back.
"..There is more than one way to skin a cat " - 'nuff said.
@@citanullunatic4084 thanks for reinforcing my message
Wow: "It's basically chipping. Just think of the distance as how high I want the ball to go." Never thought of it that way. I love her Feeling/visual style of teaching instead of technical mechanics.
So good. these series are my favorite and I have learned a lot.
That bit with the elbows in and palms out is genius. Not seen that before and it really simplifies for me the idea of staying connected & rocking the shoulders. I haven't bought into putting the skinny line on the ball as I visualize a wide line for my putts but I like to use the newer TP5 pix balls as they have that wide channel among the graphics that basically does the same thing. Great stuff Baus!
Helped me as I was unsure of where my hands should sit on a new Putter I had last season, thought it may have been the grip.
So was so great to see the Palms facing out tip.
One thing I do is if I am not Putting well is to walk away from any holes and just work on Rhythm and making sure the ball is rolling true, usually I place a line on the ball to give me a visual.
I was once had a nice comment from one of the Top best Golfers, that he admired how smooth my putting stroke was, and I can’t deny I was also pleased with it.
Also I find the best Putters don’t look up until the ball as at least rolled a few feet after stroking it, and concentrating on the final part of the roll in case they need to see the line for their next
Matt, I started watching your videos last week and am absolutely hooked. (Shout out to my buddy Nathan here for telling me about you.). These videos with Michelle are especially great. I’ve broken 80 twice since I started watching (for the first time this season, after months of frustration), and now I actually hear the tuba in my mind before I hit a shot that I shouldn’t be trying. (Now if only I could say that I’ve managed to convince myself to step away every time that happened. I can say that when I didn’t I didn’t like the results.). You are the shielzele dude! Keep it up!
She made a lot of sense n thank u for the video. Tried her palm method putting grip on home putting mat. So so good... So easy to square the putter face. This definitely is game changer... Cant wait to take it to the course tomorrow. Thank u Matt n Michelle!!!
When for months you've been asking yourself the same questions "did I hit it too hard?, was I off the line?..." and now I have answers!!! THANK YOU! Great video!
Brilliant! Thanks Matt for your superb putting lesson with Michele. This goes to the top of my putting video list. Tried it at home and it works.
I found Michele Low on You tube towards the end of 2023 and immediately connected with her Baus style of teaching.
After having golfed for almost 40 years, I have figured out a lot of what Michelle said simply by trial and error, mostly error. My biggest takeaway is to time myself and establish the most consistent rhythm possible. Maybe this next season (it's winter now with snow on the ground) I'll be able to get close to 5 hcp since I waste most shots on the green.
just had a putting lesson with the pro at my club... he told me the exact same things mentioned in this video, especially about setup, tucked ellbows and ball position. In addition he told me to use the line on the ball only to setup the putter behind the ball, but not to recognize it when hitting the ball, but instead focus on the inch of grass between ball and putter. Just have confidence in your line and hit it afterwards.
She's really clear with her explanations. Great video Matt and Michele
Thankfully I know the majority of this lesson but very nice to get a refresher from Michelle, excellent teacher 👍
Love the fact that this covers the basics. Too many putting advice videos only seem to cover grip if they’re talking about funky grips like the claw etc.
This had to be one of the best instructional videos for putting that I’ve ever seen great job with explaining filming and the tips with adjustments glad I found your blog I’ve also signed up has a subscriber for Ms. Low’s channel also
Excellent video. Michele explained everything really well. I’m trying the palms up grip and am already seeing improvements in direction. The putter feels more stable and my shoulders are rocking better. Great stuff.
I really enjoy these vids. Catering to us mere golf mortals. Keep em coming bhuti
One of the best (if it not the best) putting lesson video....
I make more long put (usually for birdie) with plain side ball upward (no alignment line)
This is one of the best putting lessons I’ve ever seen
Thanks Michelle, I've made a checklist now to use
Thank you playas for the putting tips! The grip tip is a game changer for me. Thanks Michelle!
I really love the way Michelle teaches. Amateurs need a simple method to get 90% of the info.
Putting is still individual, like the full swing. For example, I don't like using a line, except on short putts; on longer ones it destroys my feel for the line & gets me too ball focused, which is bad for my pace control. The world isn't poorer for having both country & rock-and-roll; with more choices there is more chance for a person to find what works for them.
The palms up taking wrists out of the stoke is good stuff.
I’ve been to swing lessons but never a putting lesson. I use some of the variations she has shared coming up with the process myself. Like you said “thanks for validation” I know the scared feeling in the stroke length too. This is insightful, Playa!
Thanks for another great vid Matt, fantastic seeing you on the same practice green with Michele, Gen, and Lin. Waddalife, waddacommunity!
Wow Michelle is the Rafiki to the putting world. And you, Matt are Simba
Glad this playa video popped up, too many videos out there about "puring" irons, not enough about short and putting game.
This changed by putting accuracy significantly, great video.
Super helpful lesson. Thanks for bringing us along!!
Great vid Matt! Putting is my weakness and I refuse to change grip and stroke to an awkward feeling one. Seeing you except it makes me feel I can change too. Thanks
It works it really works. I went out and putted the lowest I ever had by following the advice in this video
Really enjoyed this, great lesson
What’s up Matt you are a special playa in the fact that you teach everyone the way of the playa, keeping golf fun. Keep it up!
This is an excellent lesson. Thank you
Another lesson I needed. Great teacher.
Changed my putting completely
Crazy how much a 8minute video helped my putting
Gripping from the sides and positioning the ball more on the left side of the stance helped me improve.
Great, great, great stuff. I give up so many strokes with my below average putting. I’m fired up to try these concepts.
I feel like I just got a lesson too! Thanks for posting this, I learned a lot.
Tried putting with my palms out my last round. Unreal. I’m convinced!🤘🏻
Pleased to see everything michelle said i already try to do. Another top tip i was given was to do the lining up with your dominant eye.
Love Michele & Matt.. wadda team 😊
What's up Matty! All these tips are great but might I suggest using something to actually get feedback when practicing solo. Blast Motion makes a sensor that attaches to your putter grip end and it gives tons of info on not only putting but swinging as well. The two key measurements that help a ton are the ratio of my back swing to forward swing, and club face direction at impact. Tightening these two variables will go a LONG way on the greens (also, I'd encourage a green reading lesson as well). Good luck playa!
Gotta say. Took these tips to the course today. Great for pace control but needs a bit more practice to get the 6-10footers to drop. Did notice that my strike was so much better- Thx both
Most useful video for putting that I've come across 👏 thanks
absolute game changer.
Thanks guys, I'm going to practice this. Very useful. Graham
I'll give some of these ideas a go in my practice, particularly with the grip since I've been feeling a bit wristy with my putting stroke recently. I'm averaging 1.89 putts at the moment so it isn't a priority for me but putting is the easiest thing to practice in lockdown!
You’re a total legend mate.
What a difference from your quick stabby stroke. Nice flow through the strike!
Excellent golf coach
Love it. Great content. I enjoy the videos with the ladies very much.
Great insight! I am going to try to bring the elbows more in.
Solid lesson and great putting advice
This is a great series
true
Played first game in 2 years. Normally hack around in or around 100 esp with too many 3 putts.
Followed this video, keeping upper arms tight to body and eye over ball.
No 3 putts, 31 putts in total. 12 continuous bogeys from hole 3.
Double bogeys at start (no warm up) and at end (tired) but well happy with a 92, SS 68 down to putting
GREAT stuff Playa!!! Jut what I needed.
How to shave 5 strokes a round. Best lesson ever Playa!
Great content, Michelle is very easy under the left eye 😉
WIsh I seen this before my season started lmao thanks as always!
That’s a great lesson. I’ll try that next time. 👍🏌️♂️
Great Coaching Michele, I’m bring my daughter to you
Matt, you should take a look at Eric Cogorno's video with David Orr, as well as Mike Malaska. Helped me a lot. Plenty of gems and myth busters on straight back-through, putting strokes, alignment etc. Hope it helps you too. 😎
Found your channel again, a friend IRL told me about the way of the playa!!! Subscribed ! Play on, Playa!
Great video, Michelle seems really cool too 😎
Been following the way of the playa for a year now but recently my putting has gone to the dogs. I'm here for some much needed guidance
read PUTTING OUT OF YOUR MIND
thank me later
Another great video. Thank you so much
Our pleasure!
Going to try some of these ideas. Managed to shot 79 (first time breaking 80 since starting up golf again 2 and half years ago) yesterday with three 3 putts. Too much jabbing and decelerating.
Hey Baus Matt, if you are serious about changing your putting stroke you might want to take a look at Bob Rotella's book, Putting Out of Your Mind. It is a very easy read and it revolutionised my putting with only one or two key concepts. I enjoyed this video. Thanks to you and Michelle both.
the one thing about marking the ball I´ve found, is that we tend to line the marker up with the pin, which is fine if the putt is dead straight, but not if there´s a break, which there usually is. So it´s better to line up with the break point on the green rather than the flag.
yes I think that is the point isnt it?
@@GolfSidekick yes. My point is, (and maybe this is just a personal thing, but ive noticed playing partners lining up with the flag rather than the break) i´ve noticed that I find using a big marker on the ball distracting particularly on long putts as it makes me want to line up with the pin. I don´t have an alignment marker on the putter and only occasionally use a logo on the ball to line up on shorter putts. (putting average 1.61 in my last few rounds due to keep the elbows tucked in)
SHE is a good coach , I would listen to her. I'm going to do what she's telling you for shore .....wow Great Video
Good video leaned alot .Hope more coming
Really useful video, Matt. The palms up grip was a revelation to me. I had a thought when you mentioned your shoulders feeling stiff - from front on they looked just a little internally rotated - could that be true? It’s an issue I share so maybe I am particularly aware of this, but thought I’d mention it..thanks again!
Hi. Interested in this new grip of yours. Hard to see in the video but are the fingers of your right hand overlapping the fingers on your left? Also, Michele seemed a little surprised by your comment of tension in your shoulders when you tuck in your elbows. I seem to recall a bit of trivia that male and female arms (particularly the angle of elbows) are structured differently so maybe tucking the elbows in is easier for women than men? If you extend your arms palms up they are more or less straight while female elbows bend inwards. Could be why you feel tension in your shoulders but Michelle doesn't.
I think its a personal thing. I've played with some guys that putt with what one would consider horrible mechanics, but drain them from everywhere.
Really exceptional video
The ball can be directly under your eyes or slightly further away, like Crenshaw, choose whatever position tells your brain you are going to make the putt
I feel the alignment also depends on which eye is dominant, no?
