00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.820
Now, before we can actually track how well you're hitting the ball in the sweet
2
00:00:03.820 --> 00:00:04.480
spot,
3
00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:07.540
or before we can improve how well you're hitting the ball in the sweet spot, we
4
00:00:07.540 --> 00:00:07.680
have
5
00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:10.640
to identify where your putter sweet spot is.
6
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:14.260
And do not assume that just because the manufacturer puts a line, like my Scot
7
00:00:14.260 --> 00:00:15.200
ty Cameron has right
8
00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:19.400
there, that that is the true sweet spot of this putter, because a lot of
9
00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:20.340
manufacturing
10
00:00:20.340 --> 00:00:25.160
variations can dictate or control a little bit where that will be.
11
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:29.670
So you're going to take a golf tee or a key or just some object that you can
12
00:00:29.670 --> 00:00:30.440
basically
13
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.480
strike the club face.
14
00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:35.470
So you see if I hit way out on the toe, you can see that there is a lot of
15
00:00:35.470 --> 00:00:36.120
rotation of
16
00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:37.120
this putter.
17
00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:41.280
I'll do it this way so you can see how much rotation we have.
18
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:44.600
Same thing if I hit it on the heel, you can see how much rotation.
19
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:52.700
Now as I get closer and closer to the putter's sweet spot, by moving around
20
00:00:52.700 --> 00:00:54.160
until I can kind
21
00:00:54.160 --> 00:00:59.720
of zoom in, you can also go a little bit by the noise.
22
00:00:59.720 --> 00:01:03.720
The purest sound will be the sweet spot, so I'm saying it's pretty close to
23
00:01:03.720 --> 00:01:04.320
there.
24
00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:08.140
And now if you were to look, all right Scotty Cameron is a good putter, and
25
00:01:08.140 --> 00:01:08.760
this is, I'd
26
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:13.640
say within a sixteenth of an inch, maybe a sixteenth of an inch towards the
27
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:14.120
heel would
28
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:17.800
be the true putter sweet spot compared to the line.
29
00:01:17.800 --> 00:01:21.620
So that's important for me to know, especially I've had putters where it could
30
00:01:21.620 --> 00:01:22.000
be off by
31
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:25.620
as much as a quarter of an inch, and that can be dramatic.
32
00:01:25.620 --> 00:01:30.440
So double check your putter's sweet spot, and once you know where it is, then
33
00:01:30.440 --> 00:01:30.760
we can
34
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.600
start training how to strike around it consistently.
35
00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:36.840
So just remember for mine, it's about a sixteenth of an inch towards the heel
36
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:37.520
compared to where
37
00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:39.000
the line is.
38
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.960
If you wanted to, you could take a sharpie and actually draw another line, but
39
00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:43.400
I don't
40
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:46.840
like the way that looks personally for my putter.
41
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.720
So if it didn't have a line, I would draw one, but because it already has one,
42
00:01:49.720 --> 00:01:50.080
I'm just
43
00:01:50.080 --> 00:01:52.680
going to make a little mental note, okay?
44
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:56.360
So identify your putter sweet spot, and then let's go on to how to train it.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.820
Now, before we can actually track how well you're hitting the ball in the sweet

compared to where
37
00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:39.000
the line is.
38
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.960
If you wanted to, you could take a sharpie and actually draw another line, but
39
00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:43.400
I don't
40
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:46.840
like the way that looks personally for my putter.
41
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.720
So if it didn't have a line, I would draw one, but because it already has one,
42
00:01:49.720 --> 00:01:50.080
I'm just
43
00:01:50.080 --> 00:01:52.680
going to make a little mental note, okay?
44
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:56.360
So identify your putter sweet spot, and then let's go on to how to train it.
