Check out the training aid Bryan's using here!
All right, Rotary Swing members, Ryan Zimmerman back here with the next installment of the Goat Code Journey.
The final putting video before we take the skills assessment.
And what you're looking at right now in this picture is a putting clip I put on the face of the putter.
Because as in the last review that Craig gave me, trying to work on that path, even with the training aid, trying to stop it from going just a little bit outside.
So one way to do that is to stick a clip like that on the face of the putter because it literally gives you no room for error whatsoever.
And you're about to see exactly what happens when you don't hit it in the center of the club face on this putt right here coming up.
It literally jumped over the training aid almost because it hit one of those bars.
So it forces you to basically make a proper putting stroke pathwise.
If not, you're going to definitely have to do some crazy manipulation with your hands because it'll hit one of the brackets.
You literally have millimeters on each side of play, so to speak, in order to get that ball rolling in the cup.
So out of five balls, if I can get three of them to work properly going through the training aid and the putting clip, I was pretty happy.
The putting clip that's on there is an old Dave Peltz clip.
I'm not sure if they even make those anymore, but there are some other variations of it that are out there.
That one that I have on it is the pro version.
There's three different versions of it, and they get narrower and narrower as you go down each one.
Kind of like the same idea of the gate that's on the putting training aid that I'm using there.
The link for that is down in the description of the video if you haven't picked up the training aid.
I still love it.
It's great.
So I put the clip on it, and you can see here the stroke is definitely a lot better.
However, still just a touch of an outside takeaway at times, but with that clip on there, it's going to force me to get it back to square.
So still maybe a little bit of work to do as far as getting it perfectly square and back and through on the way in, but the clip is definitely helping out.
So combined with the putting aid and the clip, I was definitely rolling it pretty good.
You saw what happened when you don't hit it in the center of the face.
On these here, I think I got almost all of them but one to get a center strike, so pretty happy with that.
So you will see a couple more right here, and then I'm going to go ahead and turn it over to Craig, let him give the review, and hopefully it will be the final one that we do, and we can go off and do the skills assessment test right after that.
Hey, Brian Ritter, Swing Tour Instructor Craig Morrow here.
Hope all is well today.
All right, so fix the camera angle.
Face on.
It's a bit off because of a slope, but not too bad.
Put the clip on the putter's space.
That's a millimeter bigger than the ball.
You either hit it in the center of the face or it goes sideways.
It makes it impossible to hit it anywhere else.
It's about a 12-footer left-to-right breaker uphill to start and then downhill at the hole.
It's a challenging putt, it sounds like, and especially with this on.
I can see how that doesn't give you much of, if at all, a window of opportunity to not hit the sweet spots.
Good, good.
Let's see what we got.
Got a little fell ball on that one.
Nope, for the most part.
The ball up a little bit in the stance.
Head's doing better.
It may be just because of your device, you know, moving it, getting the alignment and all that.
Probably a little tedious with it, I would assume.
It does look like your lines get a little bit off with your feet, kind of compared to your shoulders right here in the putter line.
I think everything looks really good with you know, the balance of the stroke.
I mean, maybe one or two, you can see, it would look like you're almost trying to force the swing up on it.
But the vast majority are pretty darn balanced.
My two thoughts.
Just make sure when you're using your training aid that you get your lines, because sometimes I look over here, especially on the face on, and you can see it almost looks like your shoulders have a little tendency to get open, kind of relative to your target line too much.
And then your hips, your knees, and your feet, everybody's all square.
I think this is probably just because of the training aid, like getting it aligned to where it's going to be on the breaking putt and, you know, getting it to the sweet spot and where it's swinging on the correct path.
So, my two checkpoints would be A, just at setup, just make sure all your lines are good.
I don't want the shoulders to get open and then the feet to get closed and then the face to be aimed on it.
Just make sure that the balance of getting your shoulders in line with your hips and your feet and your knees are all nice and balanced.
And then I think that you can do some reps and take the assessment.
I think that the eye line is doing good.
The overall stroke has a good swing to The only thing I'd be concerned with is that you start kind of adjusting your shoulders to adjust for the aim, but you still kind of aim down the training aid, just because it's probably a little bit tedious to move.
So, as long as when you remove that training aid, your lines are pretty square and nobody's kind of playing favorites too much in one direction or the other, I'd get a couple reps that way.
Take your assessment and let's see how we do.
If we can do that, Then we'll kind of leave putting for you to keep rolling the rock in the center and making lots of putts, and we'll continue on with some of the chipping.
Okay, so we are good to go.
We're going to go ahead and take that skills assessment test.
And I will videotape that as well and put it out there so people can see if I actually did pass it or not.
So, we'll see you in that video.
