Moving Your Body To Putt

February 12th, 2012 by articles

Body putting is a stroke which has been gaining some traction recently. At a forum one time, I read a post explaining body putting. Basically this stroke uses the massive muscles of your body while keeping your arms and hands perfectly still. The end of the putter would extend towards the belly button or terribly close to it and the position of the ball would go one inch forward from the middle of your position. The trail of the stroke would follow the body so it will not be close to a straight back and straight through sort of motion. The putter’s arm should then be placed decisively against the body.

The guide on the length of the putter was found that a 6 foot tall person would usually need a 46 inch putter, however in in a position to fully use the body putting stroke, you should get correctly fitted to the right length of the club for your body type.

When putting you wish to use your body to turn, and the shoulders and wrists will not be used at all.

The distance control is one of the key issues when using this stroke as it is very tough to develop any touch on the green. That’s why a tour professional generally never uses this type of method.

The putting tips we have on our site endorses you to keep your body very quiet from the hips down to your feet. There shouldn’t be any body movement when putting. Swing the putter to your shoulders like a pendulum. The technique properly states keeping your wrists out of the stroke as much as practicable, but this technique would not be really effective if you would like to cut down on your 3-putting.

So if you hear any person recommend body putting out on the course pay no attention to them. There are no magic methodologies that a pro golfer would not try. If it worked you would see players on the Tour using it and body putting most definitely is not something you’ll see with an expert player.
