This putting drill is the speed control formula.

1
00:00:07.975 --> 00:00:11.355
Um, so in this, uh, video, this drill, I'm gonna walk

2
00:00:11.355 --> 00:00:12.955
through the process I use

3
00:00:12.975 --> 00:00:15.155
for helping golfers dial in their speed

4
00:00:15.155 --> 00:00:16.235
control very quickly.

5
00:00:16.735 --> 00:00:17.795
Um, so you know

6
00:00:17.795 --> 00:00:19.915
that there's two big factors for speed control.

7
00:00:19.995 --> 00:00:21.875
You've got your tempo and your length of swing.

8
00:00:22.175 --> 00:00:25.635
Um, so this helps you train your conscious length

9
00:00:25.635 --> 00:00:28.155
of swing training, hopefully while keeping

10
00:00:28.435 --> 00:00:29.555
a consistent tempo.

11
00:00:29.815 --> 00:00:34.355
Um, so, uh, I'll jump into the process here, um,

12
00:00:34.685 --> 00:00:36.595
which is, we're not really gonna make any

13
00:00:36.595 --> 00:00:38.035
technical changes to our stroke.

14
00:00:38.165 --> 00:00:41.595
We're just focusing on, um, a reference putt

15
00:00:41.595 --> 00:00:42.915
and then adjusting to that.

16
00:00:43.095 --> 00:00:45.715
So if you have multiple reference putts, you can do this

17
00:00:45.855 --> 00:00:48.675
for kind of, um, within the zone.

18
00:00:48.815 --> 00:00:51.355
So like, if you have three different reference putt you

19
00:00:51.355 --> 00:00:53.075
could do for the zones between reference

20
00:00:53.075 --> 00:00:54.275
putt two and reference put three.

21
00:00:54.575 --> 00:00:56.355
Um, but I'll show it as if we only had one.

22
00:00:56.495 --> 00:00:58.555
If you're only gonna have one reference putt, I like it

23
00:00:58.555 --> 00:01:00.475
to be about a 15 inch backswing

24
00:01:00.475 --> 00:01:01.955
or somewhere around a 30 footer.

25
00:01:02.135 --> 00:01:05.235
Um, so fairly close to the towel that I have,

26
00:01:05.655 --> 00:01:06.915
um, on the ground there.

27
00:01:07.295 --> 00:01:11.235
So if I was to do a

28
00:01:12.485 --> 00:01:14.155
stock putt, my 30 footer,

29
00:01:14.305 --> 00:01:16.715
that finishes pretty much next to the towel.

30
00:01:17.095 --> 00:01:20.235
So now if I was doing normal 30, 40, 50 feet,

31
00:01:20.675 --> 00:01:24.475
I would probably just jump right in, set up

32
00:01:24.495 --> 00:01:26.115
and then try to make a bigger stroke.

33
00:01:26.415 --> 00:01:30.315
But for this, for focusing on speed control training,

34
00:01:30.655 --> 00:01:32.755
I'm going to make the stock put first

35
00:01:33.175 --> 00:01:34.835
and then I'm gonna make an adjustment,

36
00:01:34.995 --> 00:01:37.235
a conscious adjustment compared to the stock putt.

37
00:01:37.575 --> 00:01:40.715
So to hit to the, so I'm looking at the towel first,

38
00:01:41.135 --> 00:01:43.115
so now I'm gonna make the putting stroke

39
00:01:43.225 --> 00:01:45.315
that would take it to the towel.

40
00:01:46.295 --> 00:01:48.315
And now to, I'm gonna look at the flag

41
00:01:48.335 --> 00:01:50.155
and I'm gonna consciously feel that

42
00:01:50.155 --> 00:01:54.435
that goes maybe about a three inch bigger backswing.

43
00:01:58.005 --> 00:02:01.145
And we'll see that. Hopefully that finishes pretty close.

44
00:02:01.355 --> 00:02:05.905
Maybe a foot past, but pretty close. Um, so we'll take it.

45
00:02:05.965 --> 00:02:09.065
And then if we were to go to the club, which is another, um,

46
00:02:10.205 --> 00:02:12.745
10 feet past or three paces, or three

47
00:02:12.745 --> 00:02:14.665
and a half paces, I'm gonna now try

48
00:02:14.665 --> 00:02:15.985
to add three feet to that.

49
00:02:16.085 --> 00:02:19.345
Now, I'm not going to do the flag as my practice rope,

50
00:02:19.485 --> 00:02:20.865
I'm still gonna do my stock putt.

51
00:02:21.205 --> 00:02:23.265
So I'm gonna do my stock putt,

52
00:02:24.755 --> 00:02:26.385
which would go about 30 feet.

53
00:02:26.565 --> 00:02:28.305
And now when I was doing those,

54
00:02:28.385 --> 00:02:30.185
I was looking more or less at the towel.

55
00:02:30.285 --> 00:02:33.625
Now I'm gonna look all the way down at the, the, uh,

56
00:02:33.735 --> 00:02:35.585
club on the ground, and I'm gonna try

57
00:02:35.585 --> 00:02:39.265
to take it about six inch bigger backswing.

58
00:02:39.645 --> 00:02:41.785
So six inch bigger backswing,

59
00:02:45.395 --> 00:02:49.235
Got a little quicker on the tempo, but that's not too bad.

60
00:02:49.265 --> 00:02:51.395
That probably would've rolled about a foot past it again.

61
00:02:51.415 --> 00:02:55.195
So at least I'm fairly consistent in as far as my, um,

62
00:02:55.655 --> 00:02:57.995
my tweaks, like I'm going about a foot past.

63
00:02:58.155 --> 00:02:59.485
I could make an easy adjustment there.

64
00:02:59.625 --> 00:03:01.525
Um, but the recipe is the most important thing

65
00:03:01.635 --> 00:03:03.125
that you have a stock putt

66
00:03:03.305 --> 00:03:05.165
and then every single putt you're going

67
00:03:05.165 --> 00:03:07.165
to do the stock putt practice swing first.

68
00:03:07.425 --> 00:03:10.245
And then what I actually want to do on this putt

69
00:03:10.245 --> 00:03:11.965
and how it compares, if you do that,

70
00:03:11.965 --> 00:03:14.565
you'll get really good at adjusting

71
00:03:14.565 --> 00:03:16.765
for different laying distances in a very short amount

72
00:03:17.005 --> 00:03:17.245
of time.
