You also need a preshot routine - helps putts feel more natural. Watch what tiger does before every putt that he hits, it is the same pattern every single time. This helps him feel more comfortable. Every scratch player or better does the same on all drives, irons, chips, and especially putting

Interesting. Thanks for sharing

Crenshaw had his share of technical lessons as well. It's like saying Da Vinci just "felt" his paintings. True but he also had a lot of technical training. Crenshaw had lessons from the time he was a boy. He didn't just grab a putter and start making putts.

Learn how to type a sentence out , sheesh

@@blakecramer1738 You mean: Learn how to type a correct sentence. A sentence with a final period, and proper spacing between commas. I concur.

curious, how is your putting now? :)

And it is exactly the same for chips and pitches.

Chuck Pulaski Yeah!

All you need is the audio

+Steven Dusza clubhead feels heavy ..............finally confirmed

Thanks so much. I came to watch Ben but REALLY was looking for YOUR opinion. Jeezus...

@@jaysantos536 Now ur thinking..

This was great, I been tryin to find out about "putt a golf ball" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Graysonyon Putter Prolific - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my cousin got excellent results with it.

He has a video like this with Tom kite and the one thing they dont go over is toms putting! Dave was one of the best putters in the 70s but tom kite was more consistent and great with irons.

sou des yo

There is a good how to break 80 guide with more tips like this on www.golfjig.com

Jeff Derenzios

Um... Tiger Woods? But after that, Ben and Jack would be next.

No…Tiger Woods made more clutch putts than anyone. Period

MW, I here about that match. I read about it in Golf Week, albeit it was in the back of the magazine. You hang in there you will get him next time I bet.

I watched daves video with tom kite and there was no putting with Tom. Kite was better with his irons than dave and ben so i guess dave wouldnt need advice on putting from him lol

That's exactly what you should be doing and that's How you will really truly learn to putt. I'm not an old man telling you this, I'm 35 years old. I acted like I knew how to putt when I used to use my spider and other large mallets. truth was, they were sledgehammers with the modern head weights of 360+G Plus which lacked any distance control and precision. When I bought a Scotty Cameron Studio stainless and pro Platinum a 8 months ago made circa 2000ish was when I really learned how to putt. I absolutely despised those blade Putters when I began. They were some of the most harsh awful feeling Putters I'd ever hit, which left me wondering why anyone wanted a Scotty Cameron. Then I studied tiger stroke and started doing his drill. most important thing is finding the center of the clubface exactly where The Sweet Spot is and learning how to repeat that. Those Putter's truly taught me how to putt and come to find out they are some of the most buttery precise Putters ever made when you find the center of the clubface repeatedly. I asked myself how exactly did Scotty Cameron design this Putter, and what does it want me to do to get along with it? Then you watch videos from Jim Furyk and tiger and experiment until you become harmonious with that Putter and feel The Sweet Spot. It may take an hour a day for quite a while. Some days it would be several hours. I Learned feel, feedback, and distance control. My stroke became repeatable my head became steady. My goal is to wear out the center of the Putter Face the way Tiger has done over 23+ yrs.

LOL !!!

no

Bobby Locke of South Africa. 4 times British Open champion, (1940-1950 era) generally regarded as one of the greatest putters of all time.

Or Sam Shepard

Actually he won most of his tournaments with a Wilson blade....

@@scottsanders2641 i think you might have misread my comment 😂

Actually an 8802

@@randybeckett6876 yes that's right, i had a small collection of those wilson putters that i picked up over the years and sold them to a collector.

Christopher Walsh Ben Crenshaw was not a very long driver of the ball and not like the rest of the long hitters on the tour meaning he would have to hit longer irons than most of the players to the green. Longer hitters would hit wedges compared to 7, 8 or 9 irons into the green. Crenshaw was truly one of the best putters in his time.

Quite often really good players are very keenly aware of what they are doing. But not always. Some are very intuitive, which is ok also.

BECASUE THE LARGEST, MOST UN-TALKED ABOUT PROBLEM IN THE WORLD IS LACK OF SELF-ESTEEM, WORLDWIDE. NO WONDER WE ARE ONE OF THE MOST FUCKED UP SOCIETIES IN THE WORLD. TOW MALE DORKS, LACKING SELF, ESTEEM, MISSING A PUTT TOTALLY SUCKS . PULL THE PLUG SOON GOD. WE ARE FUCKED UP.

A 320 yard drive, a 250 yard 3 wood, a 90 yard wedge and a 3 foot putt all count the same on a score card. Take all the energy and motion and excitement of a 320 yard drive and ask yourself how much pressure you have to utilize to get all the energy, motion and excitement muted and compressed into the calm stillness and tension of a 5 foot put for $1,000,000.

Because most people are crap at putting

Because golf is a very technical game! It requires very specific motions with little margin for error.

He ain't no moderator....Dave Stockton was to the 60s-70s what Crenshaw was in the 80s-90s

Its amazing watching guys like rory, JT and DJ who can hit the ball a mile and shape any shot but can't chip and putt.. it sounds arrogant but i know i can read a green better than those 3 lmaoo

ligma

Charlie Crenshaw Wow, I struck a nerve! What part of "great golfer" didn't you understand? I stand by my comments that what he's saying and what he's doing are two different things. Maybe your commentary can be more constructive next time.

Sean M I think you got confused by the gesture he made with his hands when he said he's trying to go through that putt. He doesn't do it with an arm motion as he says right before that statement that he's letting the 'clubhead do all the work'. So when he says he's trying to go through that putt, he means he lets the clubhead fall through the putt. u are right that his arms slow down but if u notice, the slowing arms act as a counterfall and result in a very soft wrist action which allows the clubhead to accelerate through the putt while providing more feel. don't be fooled by an abreviated follow through, he goes through that ball solid and the clubhead is accelerating; it just stops quicker than u are used to seeing.

I should add that he's not consciously slowing anything down but remaining soft and passive with the hands as he feels the swing of the head of the club. last statement in video sums up his philosophy well: "the lighter the grip and the more swing, the easier it becomes to LET the putter go right on through"

Sean M You think?!

+Michael Bakerp

Robert Johansson a pure feel player, not only in his putting but also the full swing. The only thing he was good at was playing the game at it’s most fundamental level. Get the ball in the hole.

Wtf do you know? Crappy? Please. A guy on tour right now who putts very much like Ben, is Rickie Fowler. Generally regarded as a top 5 putter in the world today. Would you say that his mechanics are crappy, as well? Gtfoh, Clown.
