So don't try to make it and you will, Dave?

[ASTHERADIOPLAYS]

die it in the hole like the man says - roll the ball dont strike it - agree - and dont even try - watch me do what the man says and not even try...

Checked out your video, and it looks you've really found something that works for you. I screwed around with it, but had a really hard time feeling the speed from any distance.

You know, though, what you say makes a lot of sense. I don't think you can prescribe a putting stroke for someone. I've learned a lot by watching the great putters, but I look at them as art rather than as formulas to copy. I took something from Stockton's stroke, something from Tiger's, something from Roberts's.

Dave. I found it better to break most of the old rules of putting. I face the hole, focus on the target, and putt with just one hand. I found that by focusing on the hole, the body will automatically coordinate itself to hit the target. I know it's radical, but works for me. You can see me fill the hole with 8 balls from 20 feet using this technique. Anyone want to experiment?

that is some great advice there for sure!!

I've been putting for 25 years and never understood all the rubbish thats written about putting this all that matters its not a science speed pace and line Thank you DS

[deadfaulkner]

@ddraiggoch13 Absolutely right. I think Stockton is even too prescriptive here. Commit to the speed and line, have a repeatable setup that feels right to you (whatever it is), grip the club in a way that puts confidence in your palms (for me a very soft left-hand overlap, unlike Stockton who prescribes a firmer left hand), and breathe. Don't worry about if it goes in. Like so many beautiful art forms, putting is about the process, not the product.

Dave Stockton is considered one of the best putters on any PGA tour. Listen to what he says about putter.

Well stated and valuable putting information!
