Putting

Practice hitting putts looking at your elbows (and wrists) to make sure that they are not changing too much during the stroke. Remember, the rib cage is the engine of the put- ting stroke and the arms simply help deliver the force in a predictable and controllable way.

The next drill we're going to do is focus on the amount of bend in your elbows.
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:11,000
This goes with the connection drill, a lot, which is just getting you to use your bigger
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,000
muscles instead of the smaller muscles in your forearms and hands.
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000
So what you're going to do is you're going to set up to the wall, taking your good
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,000
grip, and you're going to look at your elbows, and you're going to actually hit
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000
the right, put while looking at your elbows, making sure that they stay the same.
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,000
What you'll typically see is either the right arm will straighten or the left arm will
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000
bend going through the golf ball.
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
So if you hit putts while you're keeping them the same, you'll start to develop a feeling
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000
of what it's like to use your bigger muscles.
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Give that a try.
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
It's a quick little maintenance drill, just to make sure that you're not using your forearms
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000
too much, and it'll help with getting the ball to start online.
