What is a smooth putting stroke golf drill 4 75 BPM metronome (Video) - Lesson by PGA Pro Pete Styles

And you join me now with my metronome I am playing and I’m hoping you can pick this up on a microphone here. On Metronome, it’s set to 75 beats per minute. A 75 beats per minute is worked out to be the average or cadence for a good putting stroke. So every time there’s a beat at 75 beats per minute, my putter should change direction. It comes from back, forwards, back forwards, back forwards. One-third, two-thirds, one-third, two-thirds changing on the beat. If I make a shorter putting stroke, for shorter putt, it should still change on the beat. The longer putting stroke, it’s a longer swing but the change on the beat is still exactly the same. So if you can spend a little bit of time trying to get your putter to go to cadence or a tempo of 75 beats per minute. Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock changing on the beat. Get yourself a metronome. That’s just an app actually on the iPhone. It’s a free app I think. You can just get your putting stroke grooved in. Drop that on the side of a table or on the putting green and just practice changing your stroke back. And I stress that long portion, short portion. The beat change is still 75 beats per minute. But for a longer stroke, your putts travel quicker. For a shorter stroke, your putts will travel a lot slower, therefore, changing the distance of your putt. So it’s a short putt or a long putt. But the root through the ball still goes at the same beat. If you can get back through that, you smooth your stroke out and you stop having the stubby little stroke or the long longer deceleration. Practice with that in the background until it is in your head all the time. 75 beats per minute is still our average. Practice with that; that will smooth out your stroke now and then.
