- Recognize how a stable lower body can improve your follow-through consistency.
- Feel the resistance needed to enhance your putting control and distance management.
Learn the importance of a firm left side in your putting stroke to maintain stability and improve your shot accuracy. This concept will help you set up for better energy transfer in your putts.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.160
Okay, this next drill is more of a concept than it is a drill, and this is
2
00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:05.680
addressing
3
00:00:05.680 --> 00:00:10.920
what I call the firm left side, which basically means I want my right side to
4
00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:11.560
provide a lot
5
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:14.980
of the force, and the left side is actually going to serve as a little bit of a
6
00:00:14.980 --> 00:00:15.640
resistance
7
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:18.480
that I'm going to hit through.
8
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:22.440
It kind of seems weird and puttting to think of having resistance, but it's one
9
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:22.800
of the
10
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:28.590
best ways to establish that lower body stability, and it's more common in other
11
00:00:28.590 --> 00:00:29.560
sports like
12
00:00:29.560 --> 00:00:33.120
hockey or lacrosse or baseball.
13
00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:37.440
So if you play in those sports, this may feel somewhat familiar.
14
00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:43.100
What I mean by this lower or left side stability is basically, or the firm left
15
00:00:43.100 --> 00:00:44.720
side, is basically
16
00:00:44.720 --> 00:00:50.120
this left side is not going to continue to chase after the stroke, right?
17
00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:53.800
It is going to be a little bit more firm.
18
00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:57.530
What you'll tend to see, and we'll get into this more when we go over stroke
19
00:00:57.530 --> 00:00:58.280
distance,
20
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:03.080
is that I tend to see amateurs who have the putter kind of chase towards the
21
00:01:03.080 --> 00:01:03.680
hole, have
22
00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:07.460
a really long follow through, they tend to leave a lot of putt short because
23
00:01:07.460 --> 00:01:08.320
you're not
24
00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:11.840
applying energy consistency or consistently.
25
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.990
So the way that you do this drill is you basically stagger your stance so that
26
00:01:15.990 --> 00:01:16.800
your left foot
27
00:01:16.800 --> 00:01:20.860
is way forward, and you're just going to practice hitting putts, not letting
28
00:01:20.860 --> 00:01:21.760
that side open
29
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.830
up, and you'll feel that you can't really keep that putter moving because the
30
00:01:26.830 --> 00:01:27.160
body's
31
00:01:27.160 --> 00:01:28.560
not going to let it.
32
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:31.540
So really, it's more of a concept, I just want you to make sure that that left
33
00:01:31.540 --> 00:01:31.880
side is
34
00:01:31.880 --> 00:01:38.240
a little bit more firm, it will help with where you're creating your speed from
35
00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:38.440
.
36
00:01:38.440 --> 00:01:43.230
So give it a try, that with some of the arm in the hand things and using your
37
00:01:43.230 --> 00:01:44.120
big muscles
38
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:48.720
will help you develop your proper putter face control and putter path control.
39
00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:51.440
So make sure you have a firm left side or else you're going to leave a lot of
40
00:01:51.440 --> 00:01:52.040
putt short.
