Nice! I practice short uphill putts a lot on my off days. 3’ 4’ 5’. And then before a round or during a round I will putt to fringe for speed.

@paulnayyar877 1 second ago Great video! My course in Canada just opened the putting green yesterday and it is very slow. Is it a problem if I spend too much time on speed control on greens that will get much faster?

@rossmacleodputting Ай бұрын

I don’t think it’s a problem Paul. Golfers have to adapt to different speeds. Even on the same greens when you can have an uphill putt one hole, downhill the next. Good quality practice is always worthwhile imo 👍

I thought it was all about perception, in that as a right eye dominant player you may be actually aiming to the right of your perceived target

@rossmacleodputting Ай бұрын

That’s not a trend I’ve seen Simon. Plenty of left and right eye dominant golfers with right or left aim biases. Best thing is to find out your own bias and work on it. We pretty much all have a bias. Better players just tend to manage it better.

@mattstevens4056 22 күн бұрын

This is exactly what I experience. Right eye dominant and I naturally see the target as 2-3 balls to the right of what it actually is, assuming a straight putt. I have learned to aim 1-2 balls left of left edge to put to center cup on a straight putt. I've heard it described as an issue of parallaxis which might be a technical way of describing the effect of eye dominance.

Im a right handed player, left eye dominant, and feel more comfortable putting left handed…..any thoughts?

@rossmacleodputting Ай бұрын

I wouldn’t actively encourage that but if it works go with it. You wouldn’t be the first golfer to do it. Good chance you just need some help with your putting though.

Eye, foot and hand dominance is a very interesting topic. As I understand it foot dominance and hand dominance are more closely related than eye and hand dominance. It is very rare for right handed people to left footed (c.3%) but relatively common for right handed people to be left eyed dominant (just over a 1/3rd). The difficulty comes when you look at left handed people because you can train out left footedness but not eye dominance. So 40% of left handed people are right footed but nearly 60% of left handed people are left eyed dominant. My guess is that if you deducted those people who trained out left footedness either deliberately or because they only saw right footed people playing sport when growing up, there would be a similar %age of left handed people who were right footed as there are right handed people who are left footed. This is relevant for me. I was born left handed but I am old enough and grew up in a very backward part of England, that when I went to nursery the teachers made sure I only used my right hand for drawing etc. I am also totally left footed, playing sport the right foot was for standing on only but I am right eyed dominant. I play golf right handed, it never occurred to me to try it left handed and when I started the only clubs available were right handed ones. This brings me onto putting. About 30 years ago I switched to putting left handed. The difference was immediate, it was just far more natural. I now wonder whether eye dominance may be a factor in why it felt so much easier - although I agree with the video that the difference ought to be fairly small

@rossmacleodputting Ай бұрын

Interesting stuff indeed Justin. I hadn’t really thought much about foot dominance. I’m personally left handed, left footed and right eye dominant. My eye dominance surprised me as I have been left everything all my life. But I now know there’s at least a reasonable number of the population whose eye and hand dominance don’t match.

Enjoyed this Ross. I've got a love/hate relationship with using the line. Any thoughts on long vs short putts? I find it helps most on short ones and can interfere with the creativity of long ones (if that makes sense).

@rossmacleodputting 3 ай бұрын

This is very player dependent Keith. Some players use a line every putt, some only up to certain distances, some actually prefer to use it further away compared to closer, some use it only on straight/ish putts. Personally I use it up to about 20ft then don’t bother.

Interesting video. I recently revamped my whole thought process on putting too. Didn’t realize cam and Rory don’t take practice putts. I started not taking practice strokes at the ball and if I do for a lag putt I will do it when looking directly at the hole behind the ball before setting up at the ball. I also stopped using a line. I was so focused on that line and if it was off a little it got in my head and I would always miss hit. So I set up the ball with the logo pointing at the ball so I still get the visual of the end over end of the ball roll but don’t have the line getting in my head at address. My putting has immensely improved. Another thing I see no mention of is the method of actually placing the ball. I looked all over to see how pros do this. For me I place the ball with my right hand and have my right foot in line with the hole so that my toe is on the line behind the ball. This has also helped with placing the ball. Without the line at set up I am really focused on the hole or the line and adjust my feet to the line while I am looking at the hole. Great video started following and look foreword to more video👍

This is great. I was entirely too upright. If you just bend at the waist, will the eyes be too in front of the ball? Do you try to stick your butt back a little when you bend to maybe bring eyes back on top of the ball?

@rossmacleodputting 12 күн бұрын

You can bend nicely from the hips and get any eye position depending on how far you are from the ball. In my experience many golfers stand too close and get cramped in. Some do stand too far away but that’s less common. Also, not everyone should putt with their eyes directly over the ball. I have a video on “finding your eyeline”. Worth checking out. Thanks.

@mrjim0918 5 ай бұрын

Nice video. Do you apply a hit on the forward stroke or just use the momentum of the putter with the ball getting in the way?

@rossmacleodputting 5 ай бұрын

Thanks Jim. It’s player dependent based on what they’re doing. For most golfers I’d advise erring on the “use the momentum” because they tend to “hit” due to rapid acceleration. Which is caused by short and/or slow backswings. There are rare cases where golfers benefit from applying a “hit” feeling though because they are at the other end of the spectrum. For every golfer I see needing to “hit” I see about 100 golfers who are better to “use the momentum”. For most I’d say speed up the backswing then “use the momentum”. I hope that helps you. Thanks.

@rossmacleodputting 5 ай бұрын

Hi Adrian, some coaches believe eye dominance matters a lot. I’ve not seen the evidence to call it more than an influence at times. Lead eye dominant might like ball a little further forward than trail eye. When it gets too far forward or behind the position here then golfer has to make compensations. I’ve seen hundreds of golfers over the years with issues due to forward ball position. Some with backwards but forward a more common problem. Aim, face, path, strike, angle of attack, launch, amount of manipulation, etc all affected. That’s why for the vast majority I like this position. There are exceptions though.

Hi Ross. Is it fair to say that those who accelerate through the ball might get away with it on putts up to maybe 15ft but begin to have inconsistencies with their speed control from longer distances?

@rossmacleodputting 10 ай бұрын

Hi Iain, it’s definitely less of an issue closer to the hole. Partly because speed control is obviously easier closer in but also because that acceleration tends to ramp up more and more the farther out players get.
