OMGoodness! You fixed so much of my putting issues with this one. I have been working for 4 months on why l'm pulling putts and can't fix it. So frustrating!
Dear mr Short Game, Thanks ever so much for the bend over tip. I have improved my putting since implementing your advice. Wish i had got this instruction sooner. Best regards Carl-Fredrik 🇸🇪
Great advice. A couple of my tweaks to try. Inside 6-ft I like to take the putter back and then pause (don't knock it until you try it) and THEN accelerate thru the ball. I also use Dave Stockton's advice and look at the line (not the ball) I want the putter head to trace. It's like painting the ball into the hole. A face-balanced putter supports this style best. Works for me. Lots of 1-putts. I do recommend cross-handed putting for two reasons (Dave Pelz agrees) the right hand's fine motor skills are on the top of the club which controls aim and the straight left hand only adds solid stability. Finally, I agree with the other comment regarding grip pressure: Light enough hold the club but not influence the direction it travels.
Excellent tips Matt. Engaging, to the point and smart advise as ever. The only element I might add is to stand a suitable distance away so that the alignment line on the ball appears online so you can trust it and not try to redirect as approaching the ball. Thanks Matt
LOVE the short back, accelerate through thought. I would add to it by thinking of pace when practicing one of the best tips I've heard in quite a while!
This is hands down the best putting lesson video on RUclips. Noone else comes close! The bit about bending over more causing the shoulders to rotate better is the truth! Thank you MSG!
Thank you for your comments on putting the tips helped me yesterday and as far as tiger goes in RUclips golf he’s never done anything for me and I understood the perfect practice makes perfect not just go hit some balls tiger
Step aside Loren Roberts, Brad Faxon, Gentle Ben Crenshaw et al. Mr Short game is the new - BOSS OF THE MOSS !!!! Been golfing 52 years and these and these alone are the best putting tips that I have ever received !! God Bless You Sir.
Hey Matt! Been following you for a year now i think🤔 Juste wanted to say thank you! I'm a pretty neat player (2hcp) But i always struggle with the short game. I practice and practice some of your tips. Getting from 1 upndown every two 18 holes, to 3 every single 18 holes! I now hold my game with my short game (since my long game is top tier 😅) All i needed you a putting tutorial, and this video may help me to get from 36-34 putts to 30-28 putts 🙏 Keep it going, love all your videos! Best regards from France!
Matt tried your putting tips today. I played nine holes and one putted 4 greens and left 2 other putts on the lip. No 3 putts. I will use this video as my putting video. Love the channel. Come to my course and we will try to shoot under 60.
I putt one handed , it works great and I don’t have all the other things to worry about. I feel the weight of the club so I can get the speed right and I don’t get the yips 😅The greens are perfect so you never have to hit it that hard, I can see the hole and the ball so it stays on line with a lot less effort.
MSG- what would you say about Crenshaw and Faxons strokes? They both took the putter back longer than their follow throughs. Both regarded as finest putters of there generation.
If your backstroke is shorter than follow-through because your advice, that’s very tough to be consistent. Almost are great putters are the opposite, longer backstroke and thx to modern tech we now know most decelerate. Cam Smith, John Rahn, Tiger Woods, Brad Faxon… The the stroke ratio is 2:1 to about .6 back to .3 forward with total of about. .9. That’s the measured magic formula with slight variations.
Wow I’ve always had issues rocking my shoulders slight in and out during my putting stroke. It never occurred to me that standing too upright might play a role in that.
Pace off your putt. Always. 8 paces generally, for me, on a flat putt, means I bring putter back 8" (you should take 10 min on practice green to dial this in, sometimes 8" gives you 6 paces or 10). Use plumb bob to see break. Uphill putts need 30-40% less break and downhill 30-40% more.
Pick a spot 12-18" past hole and look at that. Never look at the hole. Bell curve says half of all putts will be short so move your target so 0-5% will be short (severe uphill putts...um no).
Nice video Matt. Please comment on your putter length because without a proper putter length all these good nuggets you are giving is a waste. I am about your height and use a 33 inch putter. Most guys and gals are using a putter too long for them.
Didnt mention most important tip of all, dont move head until ball is long gone. Looking at put to soon will cause a pull. Tiger said “i dont watch 5 ft putts go in, i listen to them hit bottom of cup”.
Great tips but you are missing one fundamental, namely, zero movement in lower body once set. Particularly important for seniors who have balance issues. Any movement will cause putter face to lose its alignment. Feet need to make contact with the ground. I scrunch my toes to keep me stable. Thanks
Literally just watched another putting video that said to make sure your arms are not tucked in and to stand up straighter. Guess you just have to try every which way and figure out what works best for you.😕
Grip pressure is one of the most important things in a putt in my opinion. You could find your perfect line, line it up, take a perfect practice swing. But if your grip pressure changes at all in your stroke, you will miss by a mile.
I like this dude. He's pleasant, respectful, and easily relatable. But I have 47 years of competitive golf experience. From Junior Golf to playing Professionally, and now getting a taste of play as a senior. Unless, no, scratch that... I really can't think of a point in a players development evolution where I could recommend his instruction. Not because he never has quality instruction. Sometimes, he does. But he is so novice, so green, and golf is so frigid toward inexperience. He's the dude that you want next to you in your game's development. He's your twilight league partner. He's not the one who should be navigating the turbulent, troublesome waters of golf with a path of ducklings in tow. He's gonna get you where you want to go, but it's a long ass swim around the edge of the lake as opposed to setting a course that heads directly to the target. Again, great guy. But in golf, there are about 250k options of things to do wrong. And only 5 or 6 things that you must do right. Which path are you gonna choose ? The straight path in broad daylight ? Or the one in the dark that has you bouncing off of hazards like a plinko chip ? 😎✌️⛳️🏌♀️

Awesome Matt, thanks for the tips! "Left shoulder up, in the cup. Left shoulder around, still on the ground!" Always enjoy your videos.
The tip of having a very short back swing and accelerating through for short putts, is definitely something I need to try. Very good video.
Excellent video on putting Matt! I'll definitely be putting some of these tips into my putting routine! Well Done Matt! Keep up the good work!
Dear mr Short Game, Thanks ever so much for the bend over tip. I have improved my putting since implementing your advice. Wish i had got this instruction sooner.

"Soon you'll be aiming at the tree", had me in stitches. Thank you for this video, it has greatly helped my putting already. Back to basics!!
Great tips!! I really appreciated the tip on the shorter putts, and how to accelerate through the putt!!
Thankyou for those tips, it's great information that is hard to get from coaches and other videos 👍

I was told I decelerate in my putting. It was a game changer. I am now working on accelerating through. Slowly getting better. Great videos

Ive used the short backswing and accelerate with great success. I also find that if lean forward enough to put my eyes right over the ball
The cherry on top nailed it! It took me a while to figure out that decel was making me miss gimmes left.
Great lesson Matt. I enjoyed every point you hit.

thank you for this video. please make more putting ones.
I can't like this video enough! Great tips!
Mr SG: many many chapters on putting disciplines, drills etc. more putting chatter & philosophy is GOOD!
Good advice Matt. Thanks.
Thanks for an amazing tip it improved my putting so much!
Love the 6th tip......thanks Matt
Thanks for the best reminder, Swiss Army Knife of putting videos!
🤔”That Guy” is now known as Mr 58 ! He didn’t get that name missing putts ! 🤣👍
OK simp. Most people know him as something else
It's kind of weird he didn't even mention his name.
@@shmirginhymer1867 Yep, sure is !
Yeah don't pay attention to the guy doing it the best, he's weird.
@@shmirginhymer1867LIV is the Donald Trump of golf 😂
Matt tried your putting tips today. I played nine holes and one putted 4 greens and left 2 other putts on the lip. No 3 putts. I will use this video as my putting video. Love the channel.
Come to my course and we will try to shoot under 60.
Thanks for the tips. Will do 👍
need this
The guy that putts with straight arms is known as the best putter out there right now isn’t he?
I putt one handed , it works great and I don’t have all the other things to worry about. I feel the weight of the club so I can get the speed right and I don’t get the yips 😅The greens are perfect so you never have to hit it that hard, I can see the hole and the ball so it stays on line with a lot less effort.
4th - try not to miss on the low side. Missed on the high side? You will have a shorter 2nd putt.
This was a great video, thank you for the tips!
Fantastic video as always 🏌️♂️👍
great tips brother!
Thank You Well Done!
MSG- what would you say about Crenshaw and Faxons strokes? They both took the putter back longer than their follow throughs. Both regarded as finest putters of there generation.
Great tip- turning wrong has my putts going left- thanks for great tip
I love your videos thanks for your advice
Thanks Matt! By the way, when did you get your PGA teaching professional certification?
i like to accelerate to the ball; not sure what happens at after impact with the acceleration

Wow I’ve always had issues rocking my shoulders slight in and out during my putting stroke. It never occurred to me that standing too upright might play a role in that.
Do u use 34 inch?
Every putt from 3 ft or less is more or less a tap in! Great mental tip for distance at those distances. i.e. not to worry, just tap.
The elbows in is a game changer.
I’d forgotten this. Thanks for the reminder. Hat tip to Paul Runyon.
My elbows bent and in causes my putter to go toe up just a bit. But I make far more putts that way than uncomfortable and flat on the ground.
I'm the same. Stope me dragging them left
Great video. I started to not look until I hear the ball go in the hole with my lead ear
Light grip with your hands.
Legit 👌🏼
I don’t know why I am such a bad putter and I can’t seem to read the greens and speed.. but golf is a great game ( most of the time)
Pace off your putt. Always. 8 paces generally, for me, on a flat putt, means I bring putter back 8" (you should take 10 min on practice green to dial this in, sometimes 8" gives you 6 paces or 10). Use plumb bob to see break. Uphill putts need 30-40% less break and downhill 30-40% more.

I prefer to lock the elbows like Bryson. I don’t get those crazy 8’s in my putting stroke anymore
Nice tips. Will try to remember all those except for the chin one.... that I hope that I don't catch myself doing. LOL
“That Guy” should have been on the Ryder Cup Team!
Who?
"We don't need to copy THAT guy." LOL😅
Who
I checked green fees for Greenbrier and $550 is too much for me.
He had the course to himself.
Dude put happy Gilmore in there 😂
Push it through on short puts
Didnt mention most important tip of all, dont move head until ball is long gone. Looking at put to soon will cause a pull.
Tiger said “i dont watch 5 ft putts go in, i listen to them hit bottom of cup”.
Schmo? I resemble that remark.
what happened to the good good putter?
Great tips but you are missing one fundamental, namely, zero movement in lower body once set. Particularly important for seniors who have balance issues. Any movement will cause putter face to lose its alignment. Feet need to make contact with the ground. I scrunch my toes to keep me stable. Thanks
It's the weight of my stroke that I always struggle with.
That one guy wins - Did you ever qualify
Instructional video on how to putt and he made 2 putts..😂😂😅
Literally just watched another putting video that said to make sure your arms are not tucked in and to stand up straighter. Guess you just have to try every which way and figure out what works best for you.😕
👏👏👍💪💯
First😀
Sometimes people are back eye dominate and have to look around their nose to see the path they created. So it's not that simple.
Tell Bryson not to keep his arms straight/stiff. I’ve been experimenting with it and think it works.
Approx 40% of our shots are putting at all levels, bad putting is brutal.
Didn't 'that guy' just win the US Open?
Does THAT guy like to wear a French hat by chance?
You do want to copy that guy he has the most stable stroke there is
I wanna copy Bryson lol
Yea you can do all those things. . . or you can just go out and buy an $800+ putter!
I am blocking him...cannot stand him. He is very irritating
Grip pressure is one of the most important things in a putt in my opinion. You could find your perfect line, line it up, take a perfect practice swing. But if your grip pressure changes at all in your stroke, you will miss by a mile.

Not because he never has quality instruction. Sometimes, he does.

He's the dude that you want next to you in your game's development.
He's your twilight league partner.

He's gonna get you where you want to go, but it's a long ass swim around the edge of the lake as opposed to setting a course that heads directly to the target.
Again, great guy.
But in golf, there are about 250k options of things to do wrong.
And only 5 or 6 things that you must do right.
Which path are you gonna choose ?
The straight path in broad daylight ?
Or the one in the dark that has you bouncing off of hazards like a plinko chip ?
