3 SECRET MOVES I WISH I WAS SHOWN WHEN I FIRST PLAYED GOLF
Become one with the putter
The key to getting a great golf putting set up is all about connection. The best putters in the world have all the right parts of their putting stroke working together and well connected.
They stabilise their legs or base and just let the top half of their body do the work.
Here’s what you need to do:
Stand up straight and extend the putter straight out in front of you
Pull the putter towards your chest
Ensure your arms are rubbing against or touching your ribcage
Bend from the hips
You’re done!
All you have to do from here is rock your shoulders back and forth and you have a solid, smooth putting stroke just like the pros.

Why does this work?
By having the arms locked against your sides or ribcage they keep your upper body stable and connected.
Any movement with the arms away from your body makes the arms become too active and leads to the following problems.
Wristy stroke
Putts coming off the toe
Putts coming off the heal
Inconsistent contact
Lack of feel for distance
What to do next
Remember, the real key is to keep your arms against the side of your ribs which keeps the stroke connected … got it!
