- Learn why the Tour Pro's Putt better than you. "The Position" it's an open secret.
Hello everyone, I hope you are all keeping safe and well! Please follow the advice of the medical Professionals and practice social distancing. Here in southern Germany we are in almost total lockdown, all none essential businesses and gathering points have been closed, including bars, restaurants and sport facilities. For those of you in countries that have not yet been so badly affected, you might be able to avoid this by acting now.
I will be posting more often during the lockdown to help you fight the boredom and maybe give you one or two new ideas for your swing.
Thanks for supporting my channel!!!

This is brilliant. Thank you so much. I know the exact position from seeing it when professionals putt, but I had no idea how to reproduce it and actually feel it. What great instruction.
He’s correct on every tip there is one tip that never gets mentioned is the release at the moment of impact of the stroke . At the moment of impact your hands should be in same position as when your start and the speed of the stoke is crucial and lite release just after you stroke the ball
The last two minutes of the video is gold
This is such an underrated piece of advice. The difference in my putting from before and after I saw this video is insane. Huge THANKS!!!
The advice is flawed in so many ways.
this video has fundamentally changed not only my putting but my golf swing as a whole. He gave me level 1 insight and I found out the other 2, 3 layers (hope I can find the other 4, 5 and how many other layers there are in the golf swing during my lifetime). But if you can't find the 2, 3 layers that are buried within this video, I suggest you get lessons from Mr. Taylor. And if you establish a good relationship with him, I'm sure he can guide you to the other 4, 5 layers way more quickly than the average golfer.
What a difference this has made to my putting Jonathan. My consistency and confidence on the greens have improved enormously. Great video, brilliantly explained. Can’t thank you enough.
Just been trying this for an hour and it’s brilliant. Thank you very much for your great advice. Can’t wait to come out of lockdown and try it on the course 👍👍👍
This is THE best putting tip on RUclips. Hands down.
Thanks Jonathon. Another great 'mystery' explained simply. Cheers.
Amazing video. Watched last night. Played today. Night and day difference on the putting green! Thank you Jonathan!
This finally is the video I’ve been looking for. I’m a pretty good putter but I tend to pull putts, Without any rhyme or reason, and I know why now. I was swinging past the crunch, flexion, part of the putter swing. Now I just swing to the end part and hold my finish and I’ve been putting so much better. Thank you for this video
I agree with your thought of swing to the hold position. Make that your putter destination with the proper amount speed in mind
Jonathan, you are right. I have watched countless tournaments and I have never realized this. Thank you! As soon as the courses open again I am putting this to use.
Thank you! I am off to the range tomorrow with this video and practice, practice, practice.!
Wonderful explanation . I feel more locked in and the controlled finish puts a repeating roll on the ball.
Who would've thought John Malkovich to be a decent golf teacher, good job.
Dude Ik lol
He was a shitty golfer in the movie secretariat lmfao go watch it, it’ll make you laugh
Damn I’m watching the video more now and his voice- the tone- even sounds just like him. What the hell lol
When’s he gonna talk about the rabbits
Excellent-as always! Thanks again Jonathan
Now I love putting!!!!
I used to get by on the greens
Now I look forward to it.
Brilliant! What I like about this video is the lack of explanation of individual technique to get to the position. Having the goal of getting to the position will allow someone to attempt to reverse engineer their stroke. You even mentioned that. If I couple this video with the other I just watched about hand position when putting ( also your video ), I have quite a delicious recipe for confidence on the greens. People.... this man knows what he’s talking about and he should have 400k subscribers...not 40k... excellent content!
First golf instruction video that has actually made a difference to my score
Wow, Jonathan. Very good content as usual. Thank you for posting.
best putting video ever. Loved the drill of holding the putter horizontally to get the correct feeling. Cheers and be safe.
I agree with you Paul. This drill is the best I have seen on developing the “feel” of the rocking motion of the shoulders. Mr. Taylor really gave us all a big piece of gold here!
I really enjoyed this video made so much sense
Your videos are so useful and Om working with my son on all of your drills
Great work
Rocking the shoulders up and down eliminates domination by one side AND it eliminates arm and wrist motion just to get to the desired ending position. Much more confident rolling it down the line with consistent accuracy.
Now I know why they were holding the putter face square after impact. THANKS !
Yup! This is much of what I have been preaching for years. Love this info. :-)
The "hitting" feeling made a big difference
Brilliant !! Lightbulb went on and off I went !! Thanks
i was going to give up my putting, and now you gave me the hope..can't wait to try it, i'll post it goes in the game ; )
Great putting video. Watched the video this afternoon and went to the course and tried. Damn! That was great!
SO ORIGINAL!!!! Can't wait to putt tomorrow!
Thank you, this explanation is gold!!! Helped me so much!
I’ve always tried to reach this position but I always did it visually. Golf is a game of feel and this feeling is what I was missing. I went straight to the golf course immediately. I was able to repeat solid strokes time and time again as long as l maintained the feeling. Great tip!
I've always reached this position when I'm taking a poop.
Excellent explanation. I think it's something all good athletes know and feel intuitively, but don't execute until it's brought to our attention by an excellent explanation such as this. Thanks Jonathan for awakening my slumbering perception of my putting stroke.
Excellent! Thank you for breaking it down to key points. I feel this at times and now I know what that 'feel' is.
You're so welcome!
This is gold!
Won't find this idea anywhere else. Love this. Can't wait to try it.
You're literally the first person outside my family that I've seen with my name haha! I'm a JP too 🤣
I’m just learning my right hand putting ❤
Love the detail thank you.
That’s awesome tip, thank you 🙏🏼
Very well explained. Excellent presentation, clean pronunciation and good flow of speech
Brilliant Jonathan worked a dream for me thankyou 😀
Great instructions, Thank you.
Wonderful explanation of the proper way to use the shoulders and arms in the putting action. Great way to keep the putter face square to our intended line at impact.
Good stuff Jonathan ty again!!! I think the most underpracticed part of Golf!!! But as we know it can save a hole!!!!! Be safe
Kevin Murphy unless putting is a glaring weakness then it should be the least practiced. Approach shots, drives ( long game) then short game...then putting. Mark Broadie and Erik Barzeski have clearly shown this to be factual in their books ‘Every Shot Counts’ and ‘ Lowest Score Wins’ respectively.
Wow, so good! Thank you very much. TU/S/N!
Excellent advice. Many thanks and concisely put (putt!)
Very likeable presentation. Relatable and useful.
This is really good. Thanks!
Thanks for the insight 👍
Thank you very informative!!
The greens are much better than most of the public courses I play on.
Agree with this as i do it especially on longer putts, but ive always thought holding the follow through is as much mental as physical!Try to connect to the roll of the ball,like its on a wire,focussing on this position and the roll of the ball will connect you with consistent pace ,which together with a square face is the secret of good putting.
Congratulations, I believe you are just as obsessed (or more) with analytical detail as I am, and I love it! Lol This video covers the stroke in extensive detail. Now we need to cover how to line it up to where you can consistently and physically see the line with confidence, then being left to judge how hard to swing the putter for the chosen line. I have recently discovered a reliable method for seeing the line consistently for me (and can prove it with results) and presently use an equal back and through length of swing for a given length of putt through testing similar to one used for partial wedge shots. Slope would also be needed to be addressed obviously, but a consistent method where your only concern is speed would be extremely beneficial. I would love to hear your analysis of these steps in future videos, or maybe you can direct me to previous videos that cover this. Thanks
Try this:ruclips.net/video/xwyfxy6nxaI/видео.html
Fantastic video...really helped me putting
very impressive explaination!
Great Tip, going to try it out!
Good tips. Thanks.
Thanks for all you do ! This video helped me to use/feel "both sides" left/right equally during
the stroke. Not sure if this is recommended, but for me - one side always took over the other.
When feeling both sides equally ...... it matches up with your full golf stroke training. I can feel it.
Finally, what an awesome video link you added to Nelson James (below) . Respectfully.
Great observations 👍👍👍
Great video. I’m lifelong golfer (current 4 index) and have been struggling to putt well. Watched this video and “the coin dropped”. Shot 35 (par) in my 9 hole league last night with 3 birdies made !!!!
Good lesson. Thanks
best putting advice!
That’s a great video. Keep helping us hackers to become golfers. You should get a job on the Golf Channel where you could show the world your great teaching methods and replace the golf babes and the so called teachers who try to teach with their show and tell crap. Boring!! A Real golfer just need to be tweaked ever so slightly as your teaching methods do to help us. You and Chuck Cook are the only two that I know of, that teach this way. Watch his video, shoulder to the wall, shoulder to the ball, shoulder to the target. So simplistic but the only way to hit the ball with effortless power and precision. Thanks again for what you do to get golfers back to playing golf and not goof!
Superb putting lesson.
Excellent!
Excellent thank you
Thank you 👍🏻
the challenge with this method is that to do it you have to trust your hands not to get involved. in stroking the ball. The shoulders do it.
If you can trust the shoulders and quiet the hands this method works.
I have read that there are 2 types/ways of aiming putter square to target.Work out which type you are,I like to aim the top of the putter face at right angles to target line.Most people seem to prefer aiming lines on the putter along the target line,get a putter to suit.
So I just watched a video that said don’t rock the shoulders! They said to rotate:) just like the golf swing everyone has an opinion😮
THIS WORKS. Practice it and trust me it really does. I spent an hour on my deck practicing the stroke and went out for a round a bit after and putted the best I ever had. I swear I made 8 long distance putts and 17 short range putts. I even made the 18th hole putt from 10ft. I felt like tiger sinking a masters putt for the win!!
What is a typical round, 25 holes?
@@tomgerste1818 Par is 36 putts per round....
@@preston4354 Yes it is but this guy is saying he holed 25 putts which is impossible without playing 25 holes 🤷♂️
🤯😂
The feel is like rotating when chipping👍
Even the best pros have days of 22-34 putts per round...this is fantastic technique, thank you
True just gotta get on green in regulation more often than not
Generally speaking if a low hdcp has around 27 putts and hit around 13 greens you are going to be under par.
thank you!
Hey this really works
I went from 38 putts while having a light yips and no confidence
to a solid stroke and handed in 33 putts and the yips are gone
Just give it a try
This really resonated with me. I could see how my stroke breaks down as my arms disconnect from my body. I literally have two different motions going on in my stroke at the same time. There is only a tiny intersection of the two motions that I must get to and time perfectly to return the putter to the ball on line and square. Wow. Your explanation of the two opposing muscle groups is genius. This is the first time I can say that I can truly visualize the proper motion I’m trying to achieve. Brilliant. I will never be the same again. Thank you.
Great drill
Great info! I teach golf too. To me, this is part of the square back square through stroke that I think is best. I do teach to reach this position to insure the square hit through the ball. Of course, for long putts you must arc your back stroke a little for comfort, but you must still reach this position in the follow through for putting accuracy.
Quite shocked how this worked today. Right from the get go. I’m a pro that has struggled for the last decade frankly, and I feel sorted back to what I used to feel about 15 years ago in 2 minutes. 🙈👍🏼
Glad it helped!
30+ yr PGA professional and i am not surprised - there is an awful lot in this little instruction - like all really high quality - it is the attention to detail and some of the finer points of the explanation - I cannot wait to go make a couple little tweaks - I am quite certain this is going to be a missing link that gives an edge. Brilliant little presentation.
Brill this. Need to change my grip. What do you recomend. Hands M/L. Thanks.
To me the best way to putt is the bobby locke way: ball off the toe, inside takeaway, outside downswing and bang it off the middle of the face! More feel in the hands and makes you accelerate the putter. Hit down on the ball with little to no followthrough, cover the ball. On downhills forget the sweetspot, use the toe. Good luck and enjoy!!!
Maybe I'm wrong but I completely disagree with the idea of "rocking" the shoulders rather than "rotating". You rotate your shoulders around your spine just the same as with any other shot in golf. As the shoulders rotate, the lead shoulder will dip down on the backswing and will raise up on the follow-through. From the front view this will look a bit like "rocking" but it's just the result of the shoulders turning while bent over with your spine at an angle.
Brill thanks
great video
Thanks!
A Eureka moment!
I already do this
I really enjoy this. Thanks👍🏆
Jonathan, am I right in saying that the idea here is the same concept as the full swing, meaning: visualize the shot going in, don’t have mechanical thoughts, the only difference here is we are planning to get to the position..
So back and through with the shoulders rocking- and stop just at or slightly past the lead leg?
I actually have become a putting nerd now since being away from the game for a few years. Starting rewiring my brain on the correct method and process. I started doing this process a few days ago. It works. Makes everything and ball rotates / rolls beautiful and i make so many putts. If i miss its due to stupid things that i do that has nothing to do with this video which is seldom. Was makeing 50ft putts the other day which was amazing. Thanks Johnathan. My question is im a visual person with the process. At impact whats a good visual to think of in regards to shaft and leg matching
I watched this great video recently and then I tried the technique at my local club. I have to say that the improvement in my putting stroke was immediately obvious, particularly on those shorter, tricky clutch putts. Thank you.
Are you able to advise me on what putter is the most suitable for this technique please?
Get yourself a putter fitting once the technique is solid. There is no one putter I would recommend without seeing you.
Jonathan....I’ve been using your putting technique for over a month now. It’s unbelievable how much better I’ve been putting.
Any tips on chipping?
Coming as soon as the snow is gone in Bavaria.
Can this work with arm lock putting? Could you do a tutorial on how to arm lock putt? Thank you.
Probably because they been playing longer than me. And somehow they was brought up around golf. I wasn't. I'm Learning how to play better though.
At last, some sense.
Great content. Question: is there any correlation between ball position and eyes? I’m left eye dominant and have been putting with the ball off my left front toe. I’ve always had trouble finding the confidence I need to roll in 4-6 birdies a round consistently. I’ve recently started to play the ball off the back right heel and it feels as if the arc of my stroke occurs earlier, and it seems to suit my eyes better. Would love your thoughts!
It is more important to think of where the ball lies in relation to the axis of your swing (this can change dependent on wrist action). If the axis is the center of your chest the deepest point in your swing is opposite the center of your chest and a ball opposite your right heel would be hit in the downswing, a ball opposite your left heel in the up swing.
@@JonathanTaylor63 I’ll give it a try next practice session. Thanks!
Just keep your posture
Jonathan, what parts of the position can you alter to further close or open face at impact ? I tend to have an open face at impact, and would like to know how to better close it.
Better is square but if you are finding that you deliver the club face in the position but regularly in the same open or closed position, I would look at your grip.
Hi Jonathan I’ve just been watching a recent video on RUclips which contains very similar material to yours like word for word in places. Either way and thank you as it is really excellent advice. Ok I’m a lousy leftie putter that thought all I had to do was copy Brad S and pop putt my way to victory. Pop putting is good well until you lose a little confidence than bang! Now with a mix of styles I’ve really lost my way and three putts are so regular. I like the controlled finish point but my question is how far over the ball should I be. At 5’6” I’m not Michelle Wee but I am over the top will definite angles with my wrists. Today I tried putting taller with no angles but the direction control not so good. Any comment on wrist angles or do you advocate a taller straighter wrists and forearms. Thanks again from a crap putter!
The key is consistency, the majority of Professionals have their lead eye over the ball or within 2 ball widths inside the target line. To stop the 3 putts, concentrate on holing out from 3ft and less and then on distance control to get your approach putt within the 3 ft.
The "Position" is arrived at because while the Putter is delofted in the Forward Stroke It also impacts the Ball on the Rise.
