Hi, Nick Compass. What an amazing finish to the US Open. JJ Spawn getting the victory, making a clutch birdie on 17 and obviously that huge clutch, long putt on 18. Um, I was lucky enough at the PJ Championship to watch him putt a little bit. I’ll put a couple videos up here of his uh his home base, his calibration tool that he kind of uses for him to get his putting setup. So, just like all of them are doing, hey, when they’re starting off, they’re starting off with a short putt and they’ve got some, uh, mirrors, plates, uh, strings, TE’s, whatever they’re working on, but getting them calibrated and getting them set up. So, the video, you could see couple things. I don’t have this. I didn’t put the chalk line down here cuz I was just doing a little bit, but you can see he’s got a black line, a chalk line or a Sharpie line going in front so he can see where the ball rolls. He also got one behind which is kind of interesting which I think is a little bit for eyesight but then also to kind of just see where his putter’s going possibly. He’s got the classic gate drill where he’s got two T’s to the side of the putter so we can see where that it to make sure he’s making center face contact. He’s using them here. I’ve got the smart line stencil plate so I can make sure the face is square. Now the two that I think are kind of the more interesting ones that I’m pretty sure of but not exactly sure of he has these two T’s on either side. I think these are for stroke length. So, he’s kind of looking and going, “Hey, for this short putt, this five-footer I’m hitting, my putter is going to go back to about that T and forward to about that T.” And when I watch his putting, he’s he’s pretty close to a 50/50 guy. He’s not a Patrick Hantlay kind of bigger back swing, a kind of uh uh, you know, 2:1 ratio kind of thing. He’s a more 50/50 like a like a Tiger kind of guy. Um, that’s a little more equal going back and through. Now, the last one here, he’s got two T’s in the back here. I know that putting mirror I think he uses has a place that might be to make sure it’s just set straight. But I also thought it could be a little bit so that when he goes back sometimes maybe he takes the putter a little bit low going back and it would kind of clip those TE’s. So that helps keep him hit that putter set a little bit better or working a little bit more on a there. It should be a little bit of a slight slightly upward arc. And what I mean by that, I’ll go face on here. That if I get set here, if I kept the putter really low to the ground, look how the butt of the club is not pointing at my belly button anymore. So now all of a sudden, if I kept it low going back, I’m kind of getting this action, which it tends to go almost a little bit outside, but isn’t really how that putter should work. It should go as it goes back and it and and my arms and my body swing and move the putter. Hey, look how the b the the the end of the putter points at my belly button right there. And you can see how that putter goes up. So, I think it’s to make sure maybe that he gets that putter up. I again, I’m guessing at it. It could just be to hold the the the plate in there. Um hold the plate in there so it doesn’t move at all. Okay. So, again, so now we can see him get set. He gets up to it. He’s making sure that face is square because he’s got the mirror. He’s got an idea of his stroke length for this putt. And then he’s going to go ahead and putt it in between those gates. and go ahead and knock it in. So, that’s his that’s his home base. That’s his calibration tool. That’s how he kind of uses it. I always love the gates. These are always great. Everybody uses this. Tiger, uh, uh, Justin Thomas, you know, tons of people use those. Make sure we get that center face hit. I love the TE’s because I think a huge deal of being able to control speed has to do with stroke length and so many people struggle with that. I see so many swings that are these giant back swings and stopping or short back swings and accelerating way on through. So, if I can get that to feel a little bit more equal, I would probably put those TE’s even a little closer. But again, it gives me a good feel of, hey, that equal back and through and trying to get that pace to match out back and through on that back that back swing and forward swing. Again, that more of that 50/50. So, again, cool to some cool tools to kind of take away from JJ Spawn. Obviously, great US Open, great putting, uh, making that final putt, but this is a way that he kind of has his home base and, uh, we can take some of that and hopefully make some putts like JJ.
