Reasons it Might be Best to not Imitate a Professional's Putting Stroke


 
Sports,Recreation & Leisure,Seniors
Study old tape of golfers of 50 years ago and more and contrasting it to the putting stroke for golfers at this time, we are able to observe that generally rather a lot has changed. Nowadays we notice a long pendulum putting stroke where there is often rather little wrist action and the power with the stroke is supplied largely from the shoulder muscles. You will find certainly exceptions, but there must be some purpose for this change. Plus a more relevant question might be: how might this pertain to our putting stroke?

We could point out that quite a few things have evolved over the years with professional players. One is the huge quantities of cash which are at stake, and it is competed for by a greater quantity of golfers from places worldwide. Having the money, television visibility plus competition from a lot of golfers who're capable of winning each week, the strain begins to mount. Competitors are looking for a putting stroke that's as pressure-resistant as possible.

The second is related to the physical conditions of the courses tour pros play. The greens are usually in perfect condition in the modern game, and especially in major tournaments they really are set up to be really quick. It wasn't always that way, even for tour participants. If you check out some of the tape from half a century ago and more, it is obvious they did not have the perfect roll that today's tournament greens do.

Today's participant has modified his putting stroke to the new facts of golf at present. The lengthy, slow putting stroke while using the arms along with shoulders and finishing with additional follow-through is much better for these wonderfully manicured golf greens. It also places far less emphasis on wrist movement, as under stress these smaller sized wrist muscles will jerk at the worst moments. The trouble using this type of putting stroke it's easier for your putter face to leave its expected line.

A lot of golfers will not play under the spotlight pros do, and only when we are fortunate will we play on superbly maintained greens. Nearly all golf courses just don't have the budget and manpower in order to keep golf greens in tournament condition at all times, therefore we shouldn't build a stroke that the professionals use. When you are having issues with putting and are also trying to emulate what you see tour players do, you'll probably be seeking the impossible.

Recently I have been going in the direction of the Jack Nicklaus style, and he used an open foot position with a lot of the power of the putt coming from the wrists and hands. He used a very short putting stroke, almost "popping" the golf ball at contact. When hardly any follow-through is made and also the bottom of the putter finishes on the surface at the end of the putt, the more solid contact on the golf ball will enable the roll to become truer over the slower, bumpier greens we usually play on.

Booking tee times on golf courses is not that difficult. Click here to go to how to check out the courses as well as finding bargains. Also, innovative golf equipment such as hybrid clubs will definitely help you bring down your scores. Jim O'Connell is a writer and avid golfer living in Chicago.
