Wow, this is one of the best lessons I've seen for putting. I love how the coach simplifies things and doesn't get so technical.

Incredible knowledge delivered as always! One thing that would make it even more valuable for me is a visual recap of the tools, drills, and ideas at the end. Could be good to hear more straight from you as well! Rick Shiels does a good job with his summaries. In another niche, Jeff Nippard provides great outlines at the beginning, reveals bullets along the way, then recaps at the end in a way that's informative and engaging. Thanks again!

This guy is the real deal. Way more practical approach to teaching than the Xander “guru”. I’m sure he’s a great guy, but really liked to hear himself talk. Probably a master when really narrowing in on things. The micro details, but this guy here…:he’s the one who’s going to get big results in a short period of time. No nonsense.

@Blackhawk182182 6 ай бұрын

I never understand why people want to aim with a putter.. the number one objective is to hit the ball square, rolling it end over end. If you line up the ball, hitting end over end will get the ball rolling to target, if you try and aim to the target, it makes it so much harder. Now you have to hit it end over end, and hope you are seeing what you are doing... i just line it up, from there i forget about line, i think pace and hitting the ball end over end, a good stroke is all that tequired from there and i want to see a nice roll... The line on the ball will give you feedback.

re-watching and comparing when he starts metronome at 16:14 ish, I believe its more like 76-77 bpm (maybe he set a little fast to move the feels, I've tried 76 as its the average of 90% of PGA pros I read, I found it very fast!)

@mesillahills 7 ай бұрын

Putting is more about knowing what you are doing than anything else. Few people do. When you can make 50 in a row from 4 feet with your right hand only, and then come back the next day and START OUT doing it again, then you probably know how to putt. It is not timing putting them in the hole. As Tiger recently said, my back got so sore, I had to come up with a new way of practicing. Modern day putting is about the RELEASE. A released or "swinging" putter head does not twist. This is why Tiger goes to right hand only so much in practice. And thank Crenshaw for telling us all that. Few people listened to him for about the first 10 years. There was a reason for that ultra light grip of his. He got all the twist out of his stroke by swinging, not hitting and it takes a very light touch to do that.

So, does "release" somehow counteract off-center strikes?

@builtat_the_beach1516 7 ай бұрын

Why do u keep going to different coaches? I may be wrong but it seems like it would be more beneficial to have 1 full swing coach 1 short game and 1 putting. Moving from coach to coach seems like u would have to start over everytime instead of progessing idk. Like i said i may be wrong, curious to why ur doing it

@builtat_the_beach1516 7 ай бұрын

@bran8820 that's what I thought too (about too many swing thoughts with so many coaches he uses) he may have a good reason I'm just curious. I figured with only 45 comments he would have answered me 🤷‍♂️

@mariooo88 6 ай бұрын

The reason is simple: more content, more views, more subscribers, more money. Honestly though I think that if he ever has success on KZfaq it will take him so long to get back all the money he spent for contents.

@builtat_the_beach1516 6 ай бұрын

@mariooo88 idk about everyone else but I'd rather watch him and one of his first 2 coaches everytime. The first dude was funny he was my favorite but the second guy was cool. To me, I get where I like the coach then he switches to someone different. Seems like he would get more views staying with 1 everyone likes

@mariooo88 6 ай бұрын

@@builtat_the_beach1516 Once a coach of that level taught you what he knows, then it's just practice and repetition. Jerome is a beginner, he wouldnt benefit from just letting the coach repeat to him the same things over and over. It's just practice! If you write down important info spread throughout his videos, you will have many pages where you can spend months training on.

@builtat_the_beach1516 6 ай бұрын

@mariooo88 lol so u changed ur mind? U just said he does it for more views more content more money. Now u saying cause 1 coach can't teach but so much which one is it lol. I disagree, I've had the same coach for 6 months and he teaches me something different every week. A coach in their caliber can't teach him everything they know in just a few videos. Plus going back to them he can hone in what was taught. Keep him doing what he taught him. Myself and I'm sure a lot of people can read, watch, record ourselves and think we're doing the right move but a lot of times it's not

@jazhunt21 6 ай бұрын

Im not a coach or that good yet, but putting is there easiest part of golf. You just have to hit the ball to a target. Easy. The hard thing is oicking the right target and they can't teach you that. Do whatever it takes for you to consistently roll the ball over your target. You will learn to judge speed, which you can be off by a bunch and still make the putt. Putting is the one part of the game i don't think much about. I'm about a 1.3 avg putter overall. I do get fooled on the breaking point sometimes. I laugh about it and move on. Now my driver on ther other hand....
