    @griffy2000 10 месяцев назад +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.

  • @jerryemitchell
    @jerryemitchell 10 месяцев назад +5

    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.

  • @bradleyrounds9148
    @bradleyrounds9148 10 месяцев назад +2

    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 10 месяцев назад

      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.

  • @2Eaglez
    @2Eaglez 10 месяцев назад +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.

    Top tips from Gary MBE. A bloke commented on my single puts last weekend. It’s the only think that keeps my handicap down. Also the best thing you can practice.
    My top tip is, if it’s going past the hole, watch it and get the one coming back. 😁👍

  • @stephenhurn320
    @stephenhurn320 10 месяцев назад

    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 :)

    Liam i know you have never used one because your a better golfer than me but just to agree with a point made on the video i struggled bad just off the green couldn't chip to save my life so as i only play for fun i bought a chipper and for it to work it has to be flat not toe up that made me use my putter the same way and my putting really improved i still miss with bad reads but I'm getting the ball passed the hole instead of falling short and never having a chance of going in

  • @larryd4352
    @larryd4352 10 месяцев назад

    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!

  • @8749steve
    @8749steve 10 месяцев назад

    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!

    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.

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.

    Not surprised you putter isn’t quite right, you spend most of the time leaning on it.

    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,,,,

    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 👍🏻

    Can’t take anyone seriously who putts with a glove!

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