Jeez should I trust you or Bob Rotella ?
Thanks Alex. This is gold as I’ve been playing for an uphill second put. The complete opposite. Love this tip and can’t wait to use it it. ????????
3 foot circle doesn't cut it. Beter make it 1 foot. Ask Rory…
Incredibly I had just invented the holing circle myself, two rounds ago!! Nice to have confirmation. The high side, low side information is gold.
this is going to be helpful
If i miss I always try to keep it high for this very reason. Definitely nice to actually have a foot marker for each putting distance though
????????????????????????????????????????
Thank you for that, it makes sense, and I'll be putting that into practice next game I play.
Thanks Alex, I will try that strategy.
Nicklaus used the philosophy that from 7.5 ft & in, … die it at the hole.
It’s asinine to think someone can put into a 3 foot circle and make a 3 footer and is over a 10 handicap. You should have made a video on how to make a three footer and practice a 3 foot put on the putting green instead of warming up with 10 footers. Saying your logic doesn’t make it easier. Let’s say more stupid things, “100% of puts that don’t get to the hole don’t go in!
3 foot circle has become popular. Jimmy Tropicana calls it the jacuzzi. Geezer Tony, the kiddie pool. All good mental images. And yes, I probably watch too many YouTube golf videos.
Please, make a video about chunking. I don't know why I keep chunking it. My weight is on my left side. I'm trying to hit it front of the ball, I'm not swaying. I don't know what is happening. I need help !!!! I really need better clubs. I have a TopFlite box set. Where I can't even hit the driver. But I have a 7 year old with cancer and I myself is on Dialysis. So with all the medical bills I can't afford any decent clubs !!!
No offense with the video bc I love these educational vids but if you are hitting the greens landing them 40ft from the greens you need to work on your approach game first
This is a great help Alex. Thank you once again.
Another good video. I tend to get nervous on putts I think I should make and either leave it way short or zooming it past the hole. One of the reasons why I'm such a high handicapper. But I know in time I will become more consistent which will lower my scores. Being somewhat new to golfing, there is so much information out there. I like the way you breakdown the skills. Keep the videos coming, thank you.
good stuff. I'm going to keep the missing high being more forgiving than missing low in mind. my local seasonal golf course had gotten their most problematic fairway dry enough to mow, today.
Really important question….Where's that hoodie from????
Great video about high and low side can't wait to try it.????????
Miss on high side but remember if you miss too high on a steeper sloped green it’s a slippery putt downhill????
Alex once again great yet simple mind-set which is working very well since Columbus discovered America !!! ????????????
You are getting better and better everytime.
Keep going buddy.
????????????????????????
You make the best explained golf videos on YouTube ????????????????????⛳️ They have helped me surprisingly fast ! Thanks a lot ????????????????⛳️????️
Any long putt I always use the “dustbin lid method” so I will only leave a short putt for my second . I was taught this when I first started playing and it has stuck with me ever since. Also when I get a shorter say 4/6 feet I always aim to finish 2/3 inches past the hole. A putt left short will never go in! It is so infuriating when I see players dribble the ball to the hole and it comes up a couple of inches short. Also as you say a putt on the high side has a chance of falling in but not one on the low side.
Great advice! I love the music at the end…a bit funny but uplifting!
My dad taught me this back in the 1970s when I was first learning to play… but he said, "picture a manhole cover." Same concept.
Absolute BS Alex
Your intention is to always get the ball in the hole in the fewest amount of shots possible
I don't get this thinking of not trying to sink putts
If you are twenty feet away I get the odds are not in your favour but if you are thinking positive and trying to sink it I guarantee your odds will increase more than the guy who is trying to hold on for a two putt and is putting in defensive mode
100% of putts that don't get to the hole will never go in
Not sure I agree, if you start to widen your target mentally, then that margin of error increases as well. Concentrate on a much smaller target and your misses should still end up within 3ft.
I’ll consider myself lucky, I was taught early to go for a 3-4 foot circle and always miss high side.
High side is ????
The high low was the most interesting putting tip which have ever heard. Great demo.
Theories are sound, but on fast greens, a lot of times I'd rather have 6 feet uphill left than 2 feet down. I can't remember the last time I played on greens as slow as in this video.
Bob Rotella would disagree about not trying to hole every putt. The most important factor is pace for long putts. The line is secondary to pace, BUT, missing on the high side is way better
I’ve seen this putting tip about missing on the high side being less penal than missing on the low side a while back. Definitely works. Try it on a sloping practice green and you see it right away. My missed putts from distance are at least more makeable. Now I just need a good tip for sinking three or four footers for birdie. Ugh!
Basically you’re talking only to golfers who believe they have to “hit it harder” in order to feel like they’ve given it a chance of going in.
If you marry line with speed roughly and try to hole it with good holing speed (one foot past hole), you’re going to end up within a bin lid anyway.
Sure you may leave some putts short when trying to hit it one foot past but that’s going to happen.
This isn’t new. This has been standard putting advice for decades that a large number of us use routinely.
I will use it.
I’ve always known that as missing on the “pro”side or “amateur” side.
Tried this yesterday on a course I play a lot that has undulating levels on the greens.
Worked like a charm! My misses were so much closer and I had a personal record at the course and beat my lowest score there by 2 shots.
Absolutely brilliant, keep these coming Alex!
