Actually, these tips in golf magazines are quite effective. I clip them out, give them to my friends to try, and that always works out well for me.

The problem is that 95% of the people that hear this advice will: a) still come over the top and b) pull the ball even more than they do now I still maintain that the root cause of 9

I'd be very cautious about making blanket statements about an instructor by using 1:00 of video.  Better to check out his body of work, and in Ritter's case, he has a lot of stuff online.  I'm fine wi

I saw her do that one live on the GC, and all I could think about was WTF.

Wrong on so many levels but the 5lb dumbbell is the icing on the cake.

Maybe he is slicing the fitness ball.

You have got to be kidding me... :doh:

And Speith was #2 in putting last year. The only way I can see this as possible is that I guess Speith has trained himself to over read every break by a larger enough margin to fool himself into thinking that this actually would work. Crazy stuff...

That is really amazing.

See the blue line as the actual path of the putt, but then take a short cut (different path/start line) to get there???

It actually looks really dumb in that picture.

I think I get what Plummer is saying, but it's coated in such specialized/complex terms, I was losing interest. But basically I think what I got from the doctor, who is clearer, is saying if you tilt, you automatically rotate.

So instead of the complex language, why doesn't Plummer say, we meant weight left, but not that left, you all are overdoing it?

Isn't there a kinda common sense when looking at that picture. If the path is blue, then how does aiming with the black line get you on the blue path.

It was actually interesting till they went into the defense sales pitch for S&T; :doh:

Yeah, that's whats amazing about it.  At least the older versions of this (I remember a Butch Harmon one that is probably in this thread) mistakenly assume that the ball rolls straight for a bit first.  Their concept, though incorrect, is at least consistent.  Here, he's actually showing you exactly where you should aim and then telling you to aim somewhere else. :doh:

The root problem being the flawed premise: that there is a point (other than the initial position of the ball) at which the ball STARTS to curve towards the hole.  It is the old rolls straight for a while theory which, as you point out, just isn't so.  It reminded me of a little ditty from my AP Physics days:

And hence no force, however great

Can draw a cord, however fine

Into a horizontal line

Which shall be absolutely straight.

IOW, No matter how hard you hit a putt on a sloped surface it will immediately curve.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Seriously?

Mark Lamport-Stokes looks at the issues for Woods and talks to folks like Dr. Joe Parent, who doesn't see flinches and therefore won't call this the yips. But he does offer this very vivid picture of what any longtime Tiger admirer sees missing from the pre-shot routine.

Parent, a PGA Tour instructor who is author of the book "Zen Putting: Mastering the Mental Game on the Greens", felt Woods' biggest problem with his chipping was an inability to picture his desired shot.

"He was a master of the short game," said Parent. "He would make these practice swings with such freedom and you could tell all he was doing was tuning his system into the picture he had in mind. And then he walked up and just produced that picture.

"I'm not even sure he knows what picture he's got in mind now."

      The Stack Wedge System

      By Clemsonfan ·

      I have one and look forward to trying this. I bought the Stack Radar and developed pretty severe tennis elbow, likely from a new workout program, prior to receiving it, and have not used it very much. Asa competitive person, I respond well to gamifying practice. That’s why I also love using the Stack putting app. Two great incremental benefits of the program.
