Putting Basics: Learning How to Putt in Golf

- So, What is putting? Learn how to putt.
The ability to putt well can feel like the difference between making it and breaking it in the game of golf. It is, after all, where the majority of strokes are taken. That being the case, it’s very important to know how to putt-and how to putt well.
Many golfers know that small variations in a putting swing can have large consequences on the course. However, there are a few things golfers can focus on to help improve the consistency of their putting, which can in turn help shave off a few strokes from their overall game.
By definition, putting includes any strokes made on (or very close to) the green. Golfers use a club called the putter specifically for this type of finesse shot. Putting focuses more on gently encouraging the ball across the green and into the hole, whereas a driver shot involves much more power through the ball.
Golfers adjust their distance control for how to putt based on how far from the hole they are - whether they’re in the rough or on the green.
KEYS TO A GOOD SETUP
The most important thing to do to make a good putting stroke and how to putt is to have the proper setup.
While golfers tend to have varying definitions of what a good putting setup looks like, there are a few key factors that lead to a consistent putting stroke. The first ingredient for a good putting setup is level shoulders.
The putting motion is a pendulum motion. The angle of the shoulders sets the pendulum into motion, so it is important to make sure that the shoulders are level. If the trail shoulder - the right shoulder for right-handed golfers - is lower than the lead shoulder, the putter will always swing low to high, and that doesn’t lead to good contact with the ball. Making sure the shoulders are level allows for consistent contact with the ball.

I never comment on these videos the 60/40 has made a huge difference on my putting, thank you
Great to hear! Appreciate you posting
i love the comments on golf instruction videos. they make me wanna play golf more often :)
The short follow through is such a great tip. Bring too concerned on acceleration makes it way too easy to slap at the ball instead of rolling it.
It has worked for many of our students, thanks! Have you seen this putting video ruclips.net/video/zYp1sbrKB4k/видео.htmlsi=MmgABXnnpBCiQTsh
I am unsure how to describe my level of play, I feel like a novice but at the same time I average around 80, more often 2 or 3 strokes above but I also break 80 regularly. But as to your video, I have found that I like to place the ball just slightly ahead of the mid way point of my stance. That way, I feel like the putter is certain to not hit the ball on a downward trajectory and for that reason, I get forward roll immediately. I found that with the ball right in the middle of my stance, I could get a little skid or a bounce and skid before the ball would roll. When I started experimenting with marking a line on my putting ball, I could see these things more clearly and that led me to put the ball a touch forward. I totally agree with you when you said you don't like the acceleration/longer follow through. I think it's much harder to do that consistently because some days you're going to feel more energetic and you are likely going to over do that. If you try to rock and putter back and forth more pendulum like, that should be easier to repeat over a long period of time. Great video and thanks for the tips!
Great advice. Thank you for making it simple and easy to understand.
Well done. I appreciate you starting with the beginning the definitions. Very good.
We got you...are you a subscriber?
Some tips on how to read a green. Love the videos. Find them super helpful for the “experienced” golfer
Thank you. Everyone been telling to do 25 back 75 forward but I agree with you here. My putting is much better this way.
Awesome, yes learning to manage the back and forward stroke length can really help...thanks for posting and glad the information helped your game...be sure to subscribe, more great content to come!
I’m a beginner golfer and saw a video with Phil Mickelson saying do the 25 back and 75 forward. Now I’m so confused on what to practice.
@@kittymedusa3618 I am in the same boat with you. I guess we will have to try both techniques and see which works for us
Great video. The only thing I would say as a new golfer is that I dont like the look away. I saw the scratch golf academy video. In that video he putts then holds and then swivels his head only not his body to see how the ball is rolling and the reason is so you can gauge and make minor adjustments and that really helps. Another thing is bringing the putter back I don't like doing it too much because it affects my putt as there is to much motion and when the club strikes the ball it messes up my line. So I like the shorter back swing on the putts because you can still generate enough power even for 10-15 yard putts. Im definitely trying your method of gripping because before I was holding it like my other clubs.
can't wait to try this.
You got it! Be sure to let us know how it goes. 👊
I think your 60-40 drill principle is confirmed by watching the best putters on the PGA. Almost to a man, their follow-through is short, or at least shorter than their back swing. I've got a tournament tomorrow and I am going to practice with the Look-Away drill and see if it helps with short putts. Thanks for the good advice.
Appreciate the post. You are seeing the same thing we see. I have a full section in my new book on putting if you are interested www.badliegolfbook.com/
Great video. I really enjoy your videos so much.
Appreciate that! It is a team effort on our side. We will continue to share what we have learned with you are fellow golfers. 👊
I know this video is 5yrs old, but I found it and have a question. Is the best way to execute the putt by rocking shoulders? I have viewed other putting videos that recommend, not rocking the shoulders but use more hands.
We like a combination of the shoulders, arms and hands. You can find our entire putting system in our book The Bad Lie. See here www.badliegolfbook.com/
Will try to practice this
Thanks for the good video- I've worked at a course all summer and haven't yet tried golfing! Giving it a go tomorrow 😊
Good for you...best of luck and thanks for posting!
Very helpful
Thank you for your helpful advice.
Our pleasure! Are you a subscriber?
Thank you so much....ive been struggling with my puttin lately....watchin this showed me exactly ehat to do with hands....i had been you grip with fingers which caused me to flip wrist a little bit throwin my pace off....but in the palms seems to fix all that....aldo ive watched several videos but them one actually helped...thanks
Awesome! Nothing better than knowing we have helped someone improve their days on the golf course....more great content and ideas to come...subscribe and stay tuned!
Great advice as usual Todd
Our pleasure! Were you able to join our free webinar a few nights back?
I couldn't agree with you more. I wasted too many seasons trying to accelerate throught the ball. It never felt natural. Having an even tempo back/forward is the way to go!
thecragus thanks! Accelerating through the strike or impact is not a good idea in our opinion...thanks for watching and taking time to comment. Hope the info helps!
Excellent! Putting used to be the best shot of my golf. But suddenly, I could not put any more, as if I was suffering from some sort of phobia. Your advice came quite handy, thank you.
Great vid my kids and I needed this 🙏🏼✨🙏🏾
Awesome, how long they been playing?
@@USGOLFTVshow just started today. We made a little video also. Wish you could see it. Maybe we will post it on #youtube #shorts 🥰💖
This really helped my putting game. Thank you
Interesting - will try these outr : )
Very helpful, will try soon. My question is how to start putt motion with back of right hand or right shoulder. Many thanks, Ken in White Plains.
Great question, it can really be either, depends on the player. Personally we prefer more of the trail hand....this is where the touch and feel are.
Good thought technique.. unfortunately i live in Scotland where in the winter the greens ar'nt always the best so we have to hit a tad harder, but as i said good thought technique would like more info on where the eyes sit in the process
As always great content.
Stuart Barclay thanks! We do our best....thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!👍
great just great it was so simple and good. game changer!
Vincent Yu wow! Thank you, what part did you find the most helpful?
Controlling distance - speed of swing or amplitude of swing?
Thankyou
Hello, I have some wonderful news that will put a smile on your face!
I have HAD IT with making three putts, and especially missing 3'-4' putts. I had 6 three putts and 1 four put my last round and I am so over it. That said, some days are great and I barely think about missing a putt, and many days I have zero confidence and hope for the best.
I will try your techniques, but could you please clarify the grip position? I have been using left hand low (I'm right handed) for over a decade. Help!
I hear you man. If i could putt i would be such a better golfer. So damn frustrating lol
Great info
Kiran Patel thank you! What part did you find the most helpful?
I’ve watched two of your putting videos now. The advice and drills have helped tremendously. Any videos on using a pitching wedge? Scrolling through the video list and not finding one. Thanks for the content.
Thanks for the kind words! Are you looking for chipping or wedge play videos?
"Keep your eye on the ball" -every baseball coach ever
the one thing I'll be able to use in my swing, the pimping the putt is crazy...
When you start your back stroke, are you keeping your eyes on the ball or follow the putter back?
bigtee1040 definitely keep the eyes over the ball! Great question!
What putter are you using in this video?
It is an old Point and Putt putter. Not sure if they are around anymore?
Putting and around the green kill my score every game. Have gotten better i think its still the toughest aspect of the game.
Short putting is a key to good scoring, you are correct. I do have a full chapter on putting in my book The Bad Lie if you enjoy learning. You can find it on Amazon here www.badliegolfbook.com/
Thanks. Beautiful.

You have entered P O W E R D R I V E
I have always considered putting a bit of a dark art, I have been tutored on putting in a stable indoor situation as well as outdoors on a course putting green. But things change on the course, each green is different. The lie of the green V how far away from the pin, is the grass wet or dry. Not only do I need to judge distance V how hard to hit and where to aim. That is why I consider it a dark art, principally, putting tutors cannot teach you how to read each green, practice, practice, practice. flying a helicopter is easier than playing golf.
You bring up great points. Here is a video that will help you ruclips.net/video/wh_-0tVAMNM/видео.htmlsi=3C21wER5wpid01zS
Chubbs was wrong it wasnt all in the hips 😅🤣
Putting is whole nother animal I’ve seen people make 15 ft rs all day long two feet from the hole they can’t make one if you know the secret please let me know
I seem to putt better when I hold everything still and listen for the putt to fall wish I was better I took a lesson once we were 8 feet from the hole I tossed 6 in the hole 7 th one hit flag stick and verd off pro said damnest thing he had seen he couldn’t do that must be in my head lol hope I learn before I drop
If ur here in the comments looking for the gym quiz answers while in quarantine heyyy
I agree
Lmaoo yesss
Omg i need them 100 points
😭😭
Bro I’m here cuz I suck at golf 😂
Is it acceptable to use one hand to putt? I move my chest when I use 2 hands. Keep in mind women have boobs. Some of us have more in way than others. I ask this bc it is embarrassing to mention to the golf pro I am taking lessons from. Not sure how to keep it professional.
Shawna Gunn putting with one hand is certainly an option and one we have used as a practice drill in the past...if it works...go for it! 👍

Let's be real, it's important refund information
I think your look away drill is the worst! Tried it and I became a worst putter. Just keep your to where the ball was works mush better.
Bob Sloan not every drill works for every player...hope you found the other ideas we shared helpful...thanks for watching and taking the time to comment
