Improve Putter Control by Connecting Your Arms and Body
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Feel how your core muscles contribute to a more stable putting stroke
- Recognize the difference between using small versus large muscle groups
- Practice maintaining a consistent putter path by connecting your arms to your body
In this quick drill, you'll learn how to create a proper connection between your arms and body for better putter face and path control. Understanding this relationship will enhance your putting efficiency and consistency on the greens.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.000
Okay, the first drill for building a proper putter face and putter path control
2
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:07.120
, I call
3
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:11.020
finding the right connection or finding connection between your body and the
4
00:00:11.020 --> 00:00:11.460
club.
5
00:00:11.460 --> 00:00:15.200
So one of the biggest problems that I see is that most amateurs tend to putt
6
00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:15.800
with just
7
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:19.850
their arm and shoulder muscles or so they just kind of swing their arms and
8
00:00:19.850 --> 00:00:20.480
everything
9
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:22.280
else moves around.
10
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:25.900
What we want to do is we want the rotation to actually occur more or less in
11
00:00:25.900 --> 00:00:26.560
the middle
12
00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:30.240
of your body or sorry in the middle of your rib cage, right?
13
00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:33.200
So kind of above the belly button, below the neck, right in there, that's where
14
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:33.540
we want
15
00:00:33.540 --> 00:00:35.560
most of the movement to come from.
16
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:40.580
So one way to figure this out is if you hold the putter up and you just let
17
00:00:40.580 --> 00:00:41.740
your forearms
18
00:00:41.740 --> 00:00:46.070
or you just let your elbows kind of rest on your rib cage, if you were to
19
00:00:46.070 --> 00:00:46.960
rotate in this
20
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:51.520
position flexing your knees so that you can keep your lower body stable, you'll
21
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:52.000
feel a
22
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.920
lot more of your kind of upper and mid back and you'll feel a lot more of your
23
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:56.640
abdominals
24
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:57.640
working.
25
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:00.480
And the reason for this is because the weight is so far away from me I have to
26
00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:01.040
use the big
27
00:01:01.040 --> 00:01:05.600
muscles to control it where in the golf swing, because the putter is so close
28
00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:06.360
to my center
29
00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:10.970
when I'm turning, I don't need to use these big muscles, I can just rely on my
30
00:01:10.970 --> 00:01:11.880
small muscles
31
00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:15.670
and my arms and shoulders but that's not very efficient for building a proper
32
00:01:15.670 --> 00:01:16.080
art.
33
00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:22.190
So again, one way, just kind of rest those forearms there and as you rotate
34
00:01:22.190 --> 00:01:22.980
back and
35
00:01:22.980 --> 00:01:28.380
forth, you'll start to get a feeling of what it's like to have the larger
36
00:01:28.380 --> 00:01:29.320
muscles control
37
00:01:29.320 --> 00:01:35.430
the putting stroke and then you can slowly work your way down until the putter
38
00:01:35.430 --> 00:01:36.600
is resting
39
00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:40.420
on the ground trying to feel the same movement and the same muscles controlling
40
00:01:40.420 --> 00:01:41.240
the stroke.
41
00:01:41.240 --> 00:01:45.050
So I call that one arms connection, give it a try, it'll help you feel which
42
00:01:45.050 --> 00:01:45.600
muscles
43
00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:47.640
should control the majority of your putting stroke.
