This is a quick look at the putting strokes of the two best players in the world this year, Jordan Spieth and Jason Day. The putting stroke, like the golf swing, is an individual thing, and here we see wide disparities in the technique and rhythm that each player employs.

“I had 1 video lesson last year and it was helpful. I broke my leg in the spring and had to take a break from golf. Ball striking isn’t bad now, and I’ve been improving a lot, but would like to have better mechanics.” – This lesson points out the importance of changing patterns right at the beginning of the swing.

An overview of some of the pitch shots Jason Day, Jordan Spieth and Brandon Grace hit during the final round of the PGA. You might think that when guys are shooting 17 and 20 under they are hitting it close to perfectly, but you can tell from the places they end up that is really not the case.

My ball striking has gone to hell over the last two years. Was a 5 hdcp now an 11. Last instructor had me trying to move off the ball more than in the past and now I think I am just in a bad place somewhere between two swings. – Trent’s issues are Wayne D. classics and I wouldn’t be surprised if his next video was 20 times better.

Almost everything I have ever read regarding the subject of golf lessons has focused on the instructor. But there is another side of the coin. Just as there are varying levels of instructors, there is the same variation when it comes to students. And being a better or worse student has nothing to do with achieving good results, or being able to accomplish what the teacher is trying to get them to do.

This is one of the stranger swings I’ve analyzed because the backswing is almost perfect. You would think that the rest of it would be cake; however, this case proves that nothing is automatic when it comes to hitting a golf ball. People ask me all the time “if I do this will it make that automatic”? I always answer “no”, nothing is guaranteed if you do the thing before it correctly”.

Here I come back to an idea I first had over 20 years ago watching Hogan films. I use video analysis of Mr. Hogan and myself to teach you the concepts and actions of this move.

I know I have a lot more to work on but, I will say my iron ballstriking has been incredible. Everything up to my 2 iron is very accurate and long. My scores in the trackman test center have never been so high. My path and face have never been so close to zero (they used to both be very +) and my VSP is so much lower.
