00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Alright, so now we're going to do the first person view of the single arm releases.
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000
I think it's important to see how to actually practice this.
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,000
And I always use my lead hand as my guide hand because it is superior to my right and pretty much every
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,000
who I when it comes to putting.
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,000
So here I'm taking my putting stroke and changing my hand position in the follow through.
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,000
So that felt a little different when I changed positions for where my right hand would want to go on its own.
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:40,000
I noticed I didn't take a, notice that I didn't take a practice swing or a backswing on that last one because I had an image in my brain that was very vivid of where I wanted the putter to go.
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000
So I just imagine I was pushing my hand there from the setup position.
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Now I'm going to check the backswing to figure out what I would have done differently on the backswing.
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Now for me that feels like my right hand pretty much stayed in place as it rotated back instead of swinging back.
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000
So that was a little better one right there.
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,000
I think this was the best of all where I really got the right peck involved and
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
checked my hand position and it looked like they were about the same.
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:15,000
So that's a quick way to go through the right hand versus left hand release.
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,000
So that's the right hand versus left hand release.
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Basically it's just practicing your putting stroke with one hand at a time.
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Trying to make both hands trace the same path is the best way to put it.
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,000
So whatever my left hand is doing my right hand should do if I want to be a good putter.
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,000
And so I have to notice the subtle differences between the two.
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Takes a little bit of practice but it can be very, very valuable for smoothing out your stroke.
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,000
So here I am going through again checking right hand versus left hand.
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Notice that right hand that time the risk got a little bit involved.
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000
So I'm using the left hand and saying okay that's where I want my shoulder to go.
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Now you'll notice as you watch this clip that I only hit three balls at a time.
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:10,000
I'm not a big fan of hitting ball after ball after ball because you'll pretty much it's almost like cheating for a test.
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:17,000
This force forces me to have a little bit more time in between each shot to kind of think about things and let my body imagine
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:25,000
or replay what's going on so that I can do it first or do it correctly the first time the next time.
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:32,000
So you'll see I just go back and forth working on pretty much not really worried about aiming at a hole.
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,000
I'm just working on getting my hands to make the same movement.
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:42,000
And for me I always use my left hand as the guide but that's my personal tendency.
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:50,000
You may want to start by experimenting with both and then you may find that your right hand is a better guide for the left hand.
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Like one of my friends back home.
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000
So here's a great demonstration on how to do the single arm releases.
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:05,000
I hope that gives you a little bit of insight into how you can practice that when you're working on your own game.
