Tiger Woods Explains the Key to Great Putting

Tiger Woods Explains the Key to Great Putting

Not the hands. Putter head moves first. Just like in the golf swing, the body doesn’t move first. The putter the head moves first. So the putter head must move first. And then I believe the weight of the golf ball is what slows the putter down. So you’re Okay. Okay. So I accelerate all the way through, but the weight of the putter is actually what slows it down. So it looks like I’m punching it. Okay. But you’re you’re saying the forward is less. Yes. I’m just putting all the energy into the ball and the ball ends up slowing the putter head down. I see. Okay. So, you don’t see You see some players have a follow through like that. Right. I I don’t understand that because I’ve always said, you know, if you see a a guy hit a punch shot, his swing is going to be shorter on a follow through versus a guy hitting up on it and and picking it. It’s going to be a longer follow through. Well, it’s the same kind of concept. If you have the weight of the ball stopping the putter head, then the momentum is going to be slower on the front side. I got it. Side kind of look the same. Yeah. So, it looks like I’m punching it, but this weight of this golf ball is just slowing this mess. That’s all. And because of my putter is like that but from an older generation and with a much lighter grip and smaller grip my overall mass of the putter is much lighter. So since it’s just much lighter it gets affected by the weight of the golf ball much more than these newer putters. You putters with bigger grips, bigger heads, more mass, it’s going to go through more than my putter does. Interesting. Ben Krenshaw’s little 802 thing stops right away. Yeah. Okay. It’s got no mass to it. So that that weight of that ball gets really gets affected. That’s why it looks like I’m doing that, but I’m really not.
