Hi guys! We really hope you enjoyed the first week of this coaching plan, if you would like to take part in the full coaching plan and learn even more, you can find the full plan here👍👉 meandmygolf.com/welcome-to-complete-putting/
My best advice would be to always count the number of strides for each put. Just takes a few seconds to walk from the flag to the ball and is much more reliable than eye measure. On the practice green you train puts from 3, 6, 9 and 12 strides. When you master that you will eliminate most three puts.
Guys, I just wanted to let you know, just how great your tips are! I ran through the putting drills today before my tee time, and they clearly made a huge difference. I broke 80 for the first time, ever! And went around with 28 putts. Thank you for everything that you guys do, it really does make all the difference to your game when you put them into practice ⛳️🏌️♂️ 🙏
That tip about not putting at the apex, but wider to get it to reach the Apex improved my putting tremendously. I can lag putt easier now, even sinking a few heavy breakers. Thank you!
No doubt, you guys are the most detailed golf lesson channel on RUclips, Love the tiny camera on your cap! Thanks a lot guys, I will consider buy the full plan
Hi Wira! Thanks for your feedback, we're glad you like the work we do and hope it continues to help you👍 and yes it will definitely help you, a lot of good information that will take your putting to the next level for sure.
I really appreciate all the effort you guys put in making these videos, and even though Andy hasn't holed all his puts I still find all these tips super valuable, maybe even more so. Seeing him miss a few gives me hope :)
Just invested in the Kirkland KS1. Still getting used to it because it’s got a lighter feel than my previous putter so pace control is taking some adjusting especially on slower greens.
Thanks for a good lesson. I have been using Ping "My Day" for almost 20 years but I never pay attention to its length until I watch this video. So I just find out it is 35". Actually I got it free from my senior as he got a prize in his winning Par-3 near pin competition. He gave it to me right after come down from the stage saying "I don't need a second putter!!".
Amazing stuff. I am finally back on the course after rehabbing my torn ACL and I am more determined than ever to elevate my golf performance. Thanks for helping!
Really just recently discovered your channel. It is spot on for how I like to digest information. I’m like a 90s player and struggle with putting. Don’t quite understand why someone puts their finger in front of their eye or their putter vertically in front of them to read a break? Could you guys or do you guys have a video with the optic hat cam showing this? I normally just try to imagine the ball line like you’ve shown. Played a lot of tiger woods golf as a kid lol so it kinda brings me back to that. Also, really struggle with up hill puts as they always seem to break opposite of what I think. Keep the content coming.
After a putter fitting and ending up with the best numbers with a TM Spyder, I've reduced my putts by at least 50-60%. I highly encourage getting a putter fitting.
I use a Bullet putter I bought with my first set of golf clubs some 20 years ago. I have no idea what the length is, but it's like an old friend and I feel comfortable with it... even though my short game is garbage. heh
So much valuable info here. Recently did a can I break par challenge and the only thing holding me back was my putting. Excited to implement this and see what I can shoot.
I use an oddysey white hot 32 inch or something. Thanks for the green reading tips guys because when u gave me those pace tips a few videos back i realised i couldnt read the greens here in co wicklow ireland.
I use a 36" putter. My previous was a 34" and my new putter, I feel more confident with the 36" Played a few weeks back and had 12 putts on the back 9.
It really does! This plan should help a lot of golfers concentrate and be a lot more aware of what to look for and what to do and hopefully it can improve their putting. It's the most important part of the game after all!
Putting is voodoo. I played my first round of golf in 1964. Played every year since, avg 30 rounds a year. Have never, ever, had less than 32 putts in a round. Even at my best, when I played off a 5 hdcp, I averaged more than 36 putts a round. My inability to putt drove me away from the game 10 years ago. I am now exclusively a range rat, as the frustration is just too much. Cheers!
So many good things in this video but one thing you left out, which is absolutely essential is calibrating your eyes to what you see as straight. Eyes over the ball aligning to the hole works for a lot people, but for others the hole will appear left or right of the'line'. For example, for me to calibrate and sync my eyes to the ball > target line, I have to have the ball about 2" OUTSIDE of my eyeline and in line with my lead heel. When I do that, the ball > target line is sync and calibrated and looks right, so I can commit to the stroke. To evidence my point - we stand inside the ball > target line for every other shot in golf and for anyone that knows about rifles, they have to be zero'd (calibrated) to each person using that rifle (iron sights not lazer) we all see 'straight' differntly and it is (in my opinion) one of the most under rated aspects of the game.
Great vid guys! Question. Are you guys best buds? Or does the way Piers stirs his coffee piss you off? Haha Piers I would vote you as #1 RUclips golfer to have a pint with! Love the mini chirps you give Andy.
Hi Andy and Piers. I love the vids as always. Could you please please help? Where I play, the greens are slow to very slow all year, even Summer. What is the best approach? Do I hit the ball harder? (Just afraid that will lead to a wristy putting stroke). Get a heavier putter? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks so much. Peter
Almost all professional golfers line up using the line on their ball. Do you recommend that I do the same? If so, can you make a short video how to use this technique? Thank you
Been cutting my Odyssey 2 Ball Putters to fit my posture at address with a tubing cutter. With the latest version (Triple track) that required a hacksaw. Turns out what I was cutting through was the counterweight. Have to regrip with the appropriate weight built into a new Super Stroke grip to rebalance. 🤦♂️
Hi Brandon! So if you take part in our full coaching plan it is one of the many things we cover. Here is the link if you are interested👍 meandmygolf.com/welcome-to-complete-putting/
Just saw some old putting instruktions an then you prometed 31” length of putters and now 33-35 ”. Is the correct posture and length 34” the modern putting?
How can I concentrate on the golf instruction with all of this poshery in the background? Am I living the wrong life? Why am I not enjoying tea time on the veranda right now? 😁
I prefer to be back off the line with my eyes (6 inches lower or so). Shaved prob 2 strokes a side off when I was taught to putt this way. To each their own I suppose but I personally struggle when my eyes are right over the line, feel like I can't see it 🤷♂️
I use either an Odessey works putter or a Scotty Cameron Newport the Cameron works better for me on fast greens the Odessey on more medium pace surfaces both are 34 inches.
I'm no expert, but on the 3rd 6 ft putt, you immediately followed the ball with your head vs continuing to stare straight down. In other words, you are watching the putt fall vs hearing it fall into the hole. When you follow the ball by turning your head, it is easy to pull it to the inside of the hole. :)
It’s not about your head that will pull the ball, it’s following the ball with your shoulders that does it. If your posture is good, you can look any which way essentially and it won’t affect the ball path. You need to walk away from the “keep your head down” myth ASAP lol
With respect to posture & putter length, I don’t remember how many times I’ve bought putters at a shop in flip flops, only to realize the damn thing is too short when I get to the course and put my GOLF SHOES on! The shoes make me an inch taller
Hello, guys, I started play this Feb, purely watched your videos, played 6 games so far (since the lock down situation allowed to play), 2 under 100 so far(96/98), the others were around 104-108 (without driver as I have not got one yet ☹️). When I put I always aiming to the hole, clearly different as your 20 foot put, can you explain why we need to pick up a start line and looks like a curved line? Many thx. Johny
Hi Johnny. Unless it's a straight putt then you will always have some break on a put so we need to chose where we want to start the ball in order to take the break
have gone back to my "Never Promise" blade with a 2 inch extended shaft so I am more upright in my stance. I continue to have a problem with "pulling" putts to the left, however.....
Meandmygolf I know it will definitely help. That one tip on insta live with Andy has already changed my putting! Hopefully we can get that game in whenever you guys are available! Thanks for the great videos!
Excellent tips & pointers! Although, there might be one tip that might could help you out with your stroke. KEEP YOUR DAMN EYES WHERE THE BALL WAS!! Not where it’s going. Your head consistently follows your putter head, then ball path almost like your head was connected on a string to your club head. Stable head, stable hands, stable path.
I'm a real short guy at 5' 6" or 167cm. So i think 33 might be a little long... maybe i just don't really know what I'm doing, but 33 seems like it be just a tad long.
Hey Guys! At around 13:25 you talk about having the eyes directly over the ball. There is also a lot of instruction with having the eyes an inch or two inside the ball, which looked about where the first ball was dropped. What is your take on inside vs directly over? Have you guys tried both?
Great point. Eyes directly over the ball is a good guide but not concrete. What we would say is to test and see what performs best. Eyes just inside or outside the ball are fine if that works.
just find straight putt about 10 feet put straight line down put golf ball down get over the putt to you see the straight line thats the length putter you need very simple to be a great putter
There are many ways to be 6 feet tall. You may have very long legs and a short body, or the other way around. Some people gain an inch with a long neck or head. Follow the advice right at the beginning of this video, i.e. take your normal putting stance, hang your arms loosely below your shoulders, then bring your arms into your chest and place them on the putter. If you are too far down the handle, then the shaft is too long, and if you are right at the top of the handle then the shaft is too short. Goodluck.
With respect, one problem you have in this video is that you misinterpret your misses. The last two putts were hit clearly left of your marker despite it being so close but you told yourselves that you hit them correctly. You even moved your target tee peg to the right because you blamed your initial read, but it was the ball path that caused you to miss (and the ball path that enabled you to - luckily - hole the second putt because in hitting left of your marker you were actually on the right line). Whether practising or on the course you have to be ruthlessly honest why you miss.

Good test of putter length- mine is too short :( at 6ft 7 though this isn’t surprising.
Struggling with putting currently
My best advice would be to always count the number of strides for each put. Just takes a few seconds to walk from the flag to the ball and is much more reliable than eye measure.

Hey thanks guys some really handy tips and hopefully this can help me break 90 👍 so far you’ve helped me break 100 👍
That's brilliant Dean! Yes hopefully we can help you achieve your goal👍
Dude, same for me. Shooting 97/98 with so many 2 and 3 putts. This has got to help me break 90

They were hard greens!😂 Thank you very much for your feedback and glad you enjoyed it👍
Great explanation of apex. Gotten into a lot of arguments with people who think the apex is where u should be aiming. Gonna point them to this vid.
Great instruction and I love the drills at the end of each lesson. Very helpful
You guys are on fire! 🔥 Your last four videos especially have been awesome. They have changed my golf game for the better. Truly.
this is the putting video i have been searching
Hope it helps you Henry!! 🙌
Lots of great items to think about and try out! Very much appreciate you!
Great putting instruction here. Some good advice here for putting with slope and picking choosing your path
I’m currently gaming an odyssey stroke lab double wide. The tip for aiming at the start line and no the apex really helped !
Just invested in the Kirkland KS1. Still getting used to it because it’s got a lighter feel than my previous putter so pace control is taking some adjusting especially on slower greens.
Thanks for a good lesson. I have been using Ping "My Day" for almost 20 years but I never pay attention to its length until I watch this video. So I just find out it is 35".

Switched from a 35 to 33", and it really does make a world of difference
Great. Yes putter length is key.
Love the production quality of this video. Nice one.

Played a few weeks back and had 12 putts on the back 9.
Fantastic video. I'll be trying these routines out with my Ping Scottsdale TR Grayhawk.
Very easy drill to follow but i dont see alot of golfers who work on correct aiming.This is a good lesson that has alot of benefits.
It really does! This plan should help a lot of golfers concentrate and be a lot more aware of what to look for and what to do and hopefully it can improve their putting. It's the most important part of the game after all!
What a beautiful course that is!!!!!!
Dave Pelz - Amazing Truth About Putting showed how even your pros were under reading their putts.

Sounds like it’s time for you to check out this plan and get back on the course😜
Sounds like a mental thing to me.
I wonder if that's why my putter is called the Voodoo Daddy.....no joke

Were you guys filming this on Tenerife? Somewhere close to Adege?
Started and already feeling more stable just because of a slight change in set up.
Great Craig!
Do you know any drills for consistent ball striking?
With putter put a tee each side of the putter and make a stroke without hitting the tees. Or put blu tack on the heel and the toe. Hope that helps
