Ive recently developed my own rendition of the famous Kuchar Arm Lock Putting style, was just curious if anybody else uses some form of arm lock putting and how you like it and why!

I got to hit some putts with Odyssey's arm lock putter when we visited Callaway and I kinda liked it.  Length was too long but would be open to experimenting with one.  Just got to make sure you have enough loft, like 7-8 degrees.

If you use your lead forearm yes you need a lot of loft, but I actually use my back forearm, since I'm right handed I feel like I have more control using my right forearm to support and guide the club since its my stronger arm, this also keeps the grip and head in the same position as traditional putting without any adjustments, I basically hold the club claw style but with my left hand putting pressure on the grip into my forearm to maximize control. This style eliminates all possibility of rotating the forearms or hinging the wrists. I've never seen anyone else do it this way but I absolutely love it, my putting has never been so good and it adheres to the new rulings starting in 2016

    • Day 237 (26 Dec 24) - played 18 with niece and her husband at one of the local courses.  We were first out - so we pretty had our own pace of play.  First few holes were a struggle, but the groove started by hole 5.  The green side wedge game kicked in - had several kick in up and down pars.  Best of the day - had my first ever sandie birdie on #9. It’s a neat par three with a pot hole bunker - found it off the tee.  Had about a 22yd shot from the bunker to the flag.  Hit an easy shot out with the 54 that hit softly and gently rolled center cup.  Had several other close wedge shots into others that were close but no hole out.  Was a great day with the green side wedge game - and seeing solid fruit from the drills. 
    • Day 16: 12/26/2025 A little more mirror work today. Then out to the garage net.  The first part of my PPJ swing thought is really starting to stick. The J still takes some focus. Plus, I'm still putting a priority on getting all the way to my finish.
