Next on from Putting Grip Tips, I wanted to elaborate on the putter alternatives that are available to golf players. Their function, as well as the sort of grip you can use. Experimenting with these putters is of course wholly up to the individual.
I always advocate learning and practicing the principles of a great putting stroke primarily with the standard putter, that is approximately 33-36 ins (840mm-915mm) long, then there are the Belly Putters, being 38-45 ins (965mm-1143mm) long as well as the Broomstick putter that varies from 46-52 ins (1168mm-1320mm)
The most common difficulty that bad putters have is too much wrist action, which usually leads to a loss of control of the putter head ahead of impact. It is no surprise players on every level are testing with different ways to putt the golf ball into the hole. These 2 putter grip videos will show you the proper belly and long putter grips.
A few tour pros have adopted some irregular grips, such as the claw grip, left hand low grip, cross handed grip, et cetera, whereas other players have also traded in their traditional, regular putters for longer designs. (and some trading back, again and again)
As a result, a few golf club makers now offer a choice of extended putters like the Broomstick, or long-putter that is designed to secure to your sternum, (center of your chest), along with the Belly Putter that obviously is designed to anchor to your…..ahh..belly of course. The majority of extended putters comprise split grips on them as well.
Eventually the aim of these putters is one and the same, that is to aid you in minimizing the function of the wrists in the putting stroke, by anchoring the putter to a set center point, being your sternum or belly.
Through giving you an unchanging point to fasten around, the broomstick, long-putter is terrific for providing a sweeping, pendulum motion which is more reliable than the hand’sy stroke poor putters make use of with a regular putter. It also allows you to have a more upright stance, that can be a lot easier on the back.
As with all clubs, Plenty of practice with the long putter is suggested, to enable you to master distance control as well as feel.
Position the top of the grip against your sternum with the left hand, subsequently grip the putter with your right hand at a comfortable position on the split grip, as you would a regular putter, or you can experiment with something different if you wish. As with any club, receiving the precise fit is vital.
The Belly, or mid-length putter is a less dramatic substitute to the standard putter, they have an additional 10-12 inches (250mm-300mm) of shaft with either an extended grip or two individual grips.
Whilst choosing a putter, use the identical criteria as for a standard putter, but make certain the one you desire is the precise length. The tip should lay around two inches (50mm) above your belly button whilst you are in your putting stance.
The stroke isn’t greatly dissimilar from a usual one using a regular putter, just take your normal stance and grip, but anchor the shaft to your mid section. Your body height and figure will decide what putter length you ought to use.
In both instances the anchored position of the shaft does one critical thing for your stroke, it acts as a stable hinge point. That promotes a sweeping, pendulum stroke driven by either using the right upper limb or shoulders and upper trunk.
