So, if I just tame my overswing I could have a handicap like yours? :-P  Obviously not, I don't have nearly the right impact position. Though I never thought that having the ball too far back in my stance would be the cause of my flipping at the ball. In all honesty, it is nice to know that making a small*ish* change to my swing like shortening my backswing could result in some major improvements in striking like you've indicated. If you could be honest with me here, Matt, how much of my problem would you say is simply a product of my overswing?

An easy way to tell is to go play 9 holes swinging 66.66666667% and see what your score is.

Thought I post this here. My game plan for working on my game this year.  Full Swing 1. Head up the Erie every few months for a lesson.  2. One range session a week, probably will be more bec

Went up to Erie for the first lesson of 2021! Just a summary of things I worked on.  Setup 1. Less upper body axis tilt 2. Less hands pushed forward 3. Weight more 50/50 Bet

Went up to Erie for a GEARS lesson today.  The focus today was on working on hand path and clubhead path in the downswing. I am sending the hands to far out towards the ball, and having the club

But I can only swing at 66.6666667% at the absolute lowest!

I recognize that putting green.

It looks like your through stroke is a but longer than your back stroke.

Well one problem is I can't take my putter back consistently the same. Sometimes I want to take it to the outside, it just gets all terrible feeling. That and I heel a TON of putts as well.

Again, re: Ernest Jones, you're leaning too far left at setup. No one good does that.

Right shoulder lower a bit, tilt more rightward, weight more evenly distributed.

Graeme's no.2 in strokes gained putting this year. Luke is no.6 I think:

Snedeker: He's not leaning leftward. Right shoulder lower.

You'll notice Brad Faxon leans his lower body a little leftward like you do, but his upper center is tilted the other direction.

Grip's another thing you may want to look into as well at some point. Perhaps more unified hands.

I think widening my stance might help a bit.

I don't know why, but the line, "SAM PuttLab will show you the way to putting enlightenment." just cracked me up.

You don't need SAM.

SAM will just make it easier for you to get where you need to go more quickly and accurately.

Your problems are pretty evident without a $6k putting contraption. :-)

Guys, I did say without the machine.

It just measures things far, far more accurately than you can do with your eyes.

Guys, I did say without the machine.

Pretty much, but using fancy technology is so much fun :-D

By the two images you posted I am going to guess,

First, that wrist angle in my left hand is probably not very good for a putting stroke.

Second, the putter head ascends to much in the backswing.

Nope.

Stop guessing. :)

Dah, oh well. :whistle:

I guess for my golf league tonight I might just speed my putting process up, just give it whack before my mind starts going onto different tangents on what is going wrong. Instinctual putting!!!

Pick a spot 4 inches in front of the ball and roll it over that.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out.

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.

      Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By pganapathy ·

      I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
