Just had to post this..... I posted a thread about three weeks ago stating that my putting was in deep doodoo. A fellow member of the Sand Trap took the time to send me a lengthy letter complete with putting lesson. He has asked me to keep his alias a secret and I will resect that request. I printed his lesson out, spent two hours a day on the practice green and my PPR has dropped from the hi 30's to the hi 20's. That's 10 strokes per round!!!!!! My friends want to know who this genius is but of course I'm sworn to secrecy. Just wanted to let you know how valuable this forum can be.

Would said genius object to the reproduction of said letter (or at least said putting drills) openly here in said forum? Sans name of course.

The rest of us high-30s putters would also be much obliged!

Hi All, Well, I've checked with my source and he would rather i didn't publish his lesson. I guess he just took pity on me. Sorry guys.

Since you live in Virginia and I'm in Ca. I guess you won't have to worry about playing me.

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
