So let’s talk about a putting drill, a one arm putting drill and weather it can actually help you with your golf; with your putting to see if we can improve. Well first of all the people this is going to help improve people who have got a very flimsy sort of wrist action. Yeah somewhere where they’re over the ball and they’re just flimsy just very very lethargic the wrists have got lots of movement or from here we’re breaking the wrist and scooping at it. Any sort of wristyness or any flimsiness like that a one arm sort of technique might actually help you. When you’re putting the whole idea of putting is to put your hands in a position where you – place your arms out in the letter Y and from here with your eyes firmly over the top of the ball, we want you to swing from the shoulders so we keep the body still take that back and forward then you can see here my body isn’t moving, but everything is hinging from the shoulders it’s a perfect pendulum. But remember this is all about someone who is all wristy and all flimsy so here’s a good sort of putting drill that the one arm technique

Basically if you put your club behind the ball and line yourself up as you would normally do, get yourself settled and then with your hand closest to the holes, if your right hand or it’s your left hand rather put it in your pocket put it behind your back and from here try – and to swing the putter back, and take it and push. And you can see from that angle if I just – putting yourself aside to the camera now head on from here if I just do that go back and go forward you can see everything is in one piece. Now because you're only with one hand it’s a lot heavier the putter so it’s less likelihood if you – getting it all flimsy like this. So remember one hand behind your back, pull one hand down and from here to the putter back and try and push the putts to the hole just try and push it through because remember what you don’t want to do is to go back into flicking. So the whole idea with one arm is as simple as that. It’s the people who are wristy very flimsy not got much control there you go one arm behind the back it couldn’t be any easier this drill and then from here stop from two to three foot away and as you build confidence, go to four, five or six foot away, but with practice you will have that confidence you will go back to your orthodox grip and from that that flimsiness should be a lot more sturdy a lot more solid and that’s what we want in putting.
