Don't you want the eyes to be directly above ball?

Saw one comment about the grip difference between putter and normal club. Could you clarify a bit. To me it seemed the trail grip would have to be stronger to get the right thumb at 12 or even 1 (right side of shaft). Versus in the grip video it says thumb at 11 o’clock, which would be a weaker grip than that of the putter. But on a previous comment you state the putter grip would be weaker due to grip size. Thanks!

Hello William. It will be harder as the grip tends to be a little thicker and the front side grip panel being flat. The key is getting it in the fingers and the thumb can rest almost normal as you can see in the picture below.

I’ve been working on this drill for a couple hours and still not getting it consistently. I know the goal is to not hit the tees and make the put. What about just nicking the tee and making the putt vs missing the tees and the putt? Which of these is better?

Ideally no tees. That means something is amiss. Happy to take a look if you want to post it here.

Hi Chuck, was hoping to get a quick progress check. I’ve got a few hours in. Just moved onto chipping but want to verify putting is where it needs to be before going too far. Thanks!

Stroke is looking really good. I would narrow the feet quite a bit so your balance is better and this will reduce upper body movement

Can you advise on the putting drill with a mallet putter? Is the release still possible or do you advise the use of a blade & toe balanced putter?

a face balanced putter works fine with this drill. It doesn’t have to have toe drop

It seems the grip is slightly different from the grip you taught at grip chapter? This one the thumb is more at 12 o'clock, whereas in the grip chapter the thumb is more to the 11 o'clock position?

Its a littler weaker with the putter due to the shape of the grip

Hello, what about if I am using a very big grip for putting, will this still work?
February 1, 2025

They are not ideal because it is trying to take your hands completely out of the stroke

Hi I know you only like a few training aids But What’s your thoughts of the Pelz putting tutor - I was using this for my indoor practice, as it gives feedback as to whether I am starting the putting on line or not. Thanks.

I’m not familiar with it but the putting mirror that we offer in the store does everything that you want is simple cheap and small so it can fit in your bag
January 28, 2025
64x64
Craig
It’s similar design but, it’s not a mirror. You place two small ballbearings approx 8 inches in front of the ball (3 different widths) on either side of the path/line. With the goal of putting through the gap. Gives instant feedback if you were successful or not. The narrowest gap has next to no room for error. I will check out the mirror.

Trying to figure out what the optimal gap to be left between the inside of the tees and the putter head. I found things become more challenging for me (started today) when the gap is 3mm or smaller. Half of the time the club head would brush the inside of a tee. The ball still goes into the club most of the time when this happens, but it's difficult to completely avoid the brush. Any suggestion? Should I keep it at around 3mm for now?
January 6, 2025

Jian
With a bit more practice I figured that if I keep my head in absolute stillness, the putter will not touch the tees when it passes through. Question - is a completely still head desired in this drill? I watched some follow up videos which talked about head moving forward or back due to the dynamic of the swing, I wanted to make sure I am not building a wrong foundation in this phase. Thanks!

With such a small stroke as the putting stroke the head should move a minimal amount

I've always noticed that Tiger, as well as other great putters like Cam Smith and Ben Crenshaw, have a significantly shorter follow thru. Cam Smith says "hit the ball with your backswing". Any thoughts for or against longer backswing, shorter thru swing?
January 6, 2025
64x64
Chuck
a shorter follow-through is possible when you hit the ball with your right hand and allow a little bit of wrist set. Whereas someone who tends to swing the putter head back-and-forth with softer hands will tend to have a longer follow through

Hi Chuck, I am still working on the Trail Hand Putting Drill. Should I combine the video with the Tiger Woods Tee Drill or should I continue with a focus on the Trail Hand Putting Drill? Also as you mentioned in the webinars, Craig has a Training Group to progress faster threw the GOAT code program, are there any free places left? Best wishes, Jayden.

You can definitely combine the tee drill with any of the putting drills. As for the groups, there aren't any free places, Craig was just offering half off the first month.

Chuck , should there be a constant feeling of togetherness between the trail bicep and chest at setup and during the stroke ?

Thanks John! on a 4 footer it's pretty subtle, obviously depending on the speed of the green. Mine rolls at a 11-12 and I don't feel that much load or release, but it is there.

I plan to start on this after the right hand drill. Years ago I did a Dave Pelz putting and chipping clinic and got pretty good. The stuff about eyes above the ball, was taught using the nose as the drop point. Mostly that was also about where the hands go on the putter grip. The standard putter is 34”, fits nicely in the golf bag, isn’t always best for the golfer. I ended up getting my putter shortened to 32”, so I did not have to grip down so far. Consistent center contact was a key point. My main game is going to be on the shelf awhile until I can get a new hip. So I’m focusing on the Putting and chipping. The core exercises will be useful. I really don’t have a good core or for that matter glutes feel. We have an upper body curl machine at the club that can help with training that bending over movement. What I really, look ???? forward to is training the right hand to be ready when I can get back to a full golf game. I’ve generally in putting felt most in control, when I have the back of my lead hand pretty square to the putting line. I’ll see how working with only the right plays out Meanwhile making a few thousand putts will be awesome!

You'll actually end up ahead of the curve Ronald because avoiding the temptation to pound balls will help you to take the time needed to develop control in that trail hand. So enjoy the journey and watch how much better you come out on the other side!

And watching Robert MacIntyre's ritual before he putts of placing his lead arm's hand across his chest to connect with the trail arm above his elbow it occurred to me it was his way of taking Tiger's method to the course and putting it into practice. Noticed it in today's Irish Open

Hi Chuck, Not sure I have understood correctly (I am not American): 1. in this drill, should weight to be towards the ball of your feet at setup? 2. to help arching your back, should the shoulder be protracted or normal? Thanks, Stefano

Hi Chuck, Done about 40 five reps on this drill. My impression is that trying the forward press, I’m moving my head too much…what do you think, please? Thanks

September 17, 2024
64x64
Chuck
Do you want your weight pretty much in the middle of your feet here because we don’t need to move so you don’t want to be too far out toward the balls of your feet, and your right shoulder will feel a bit retracted in the left shoulder can be a little bit protracted, to accommodate the position of the right arm Because it’ll feel more comfortable to keep it supinated with that left arm slightly protracted

Another great video Chuck! I am just not sure how it will work with ‘left hand low’, pencil grip, gator grip, etc,? But I will give it a try.
September 5, 2024

Chuck
The thing about those grips is they teach you how to not use your right hand, but you can always focus just on the chipping and pitching, but you will be losing a lot of the benefit of training, the fine motor skill and correct movement of the right wrist and hand together

Hi Chuck, I thought I'd share some feedback on this. I was a bit skeptical with using my trail hand at first because I totally trained the lead hand to hit most of my putts for the longest time but there was still a lot of inconsistency. I'm amazed at how much I was able to progress after several hours of drilling this to trust the trail hand to do a majority of the work! This drill seemed foreign to me on the surface but it's actually an amazing exercise in concentration and discipline. I've found the more my posture is correct, the easier it gets to miss the tees consistently and hit it "flush" in the center of the face; something I've never really felt before in my putting stroke. It feels like I'll eventually be deadly within 5 feet of the hole now! Great stuff and keep up the awesome work!!
September 4, 2024

Thanks for the feedback Gerry! It is a shockingly powerful drill and most have reported the same thing that it took them 2-3 hours for things to click, and then once it did, watch out! You become a very serious putter very quickly!

Hey, My back gets pretty sore really quickly like 10 minutes. Should I try to flatten my back out or keep the arch in it? Not sure whether to tilt pelvis up to flatten or to arch downward tiny bit.
August 30, 2024

Chuck
Yep, exactly. Tiger can practice like this for hours for this very reason. Round your lower back slightly by pulling your stomach and feeling like you're doing a little sit up, tuck the hips under slightly and you'll be able to practice pain free.

Doing this drill on and off today, averaging about 70% of success. I noticed when my core was not activated that is when the miss hits happened. When I put the left hand back on and hit a few putts I had a feeling of control with the right and the left was just there for the ride. I will continue this drill along with the right hand medicine ball drill Craig has RXd still having issues getting right shoulder down with the hips clearing simultaneously.

Once you've gotten a couple hours under your belt of practicing your trail, hand on, only putting stroke, It's time to start purifying that stroke and start building in fundamentals that are going to build into your chipping game, your pitching game, your bunker game, your wedge play, your iron swing, and eventually your driver.

These fundamentals you're going to learn during this drill.

This is Tiger's famous T -drill that I've got set up here.

I'm going to explain how this works in just a moment with the importance of it is.

But what you're really going to start building on is these fundamentals of setup, of grip, of posture, of stroke, of concentration, of feeling that trail hand and feeling your core engaged.

So the first thing you're going to focus on, and perhaps the most important one, is your posture at setup.

This is one that's super easy to get wrong, but it's one thing that Tiger's always done better than everybody else.

He's always looked perfect at setup.

And it really starts right here with your putting stroke.

Because the fundamentals you're going to learn right here are going to carry over to every single club in the bag.

So first let me explain the setup drill, and then I'm going to explain how to get the T -drill and then your posture and so on.

So first of all, again, Don't try this drill until you've got a couple hours under your belt of swinging with your trail hand only.

And you can start to make a lot of putts like that because this drill might frustrate you at first, because it's a very, Very precise drill, And Tiger has relied on this for years and gives a lot of credit to a lot of his wins, to this very drill.

So what you're going to do is set up a couple of tees on the ground, on the green, and they're basically going to be only a couple millimeters from either side of the putter.

So you can see if I slide the putter all the way over, there's just a tiny little gap between the toe of the putter and the tee.

And what this is doing is it's going to help you understand how far you should stand from the ball, how to make a proper stroke, and how important posture is to both of those.

So you're going to set up very, very snug at first, and this is going to ensure that you start making a proper pendulum-based stroke.

So once you're set up, the most important thing is understanding how to get your body, your spine, your hips, your legs, and your shoulders and arms to all be set up properly.

The simplest way to explain this is like you're doing a sit-up back in high school.

If you're not tucking your head forward, holding your head forward, or holding your head back, and you're going to do a sit-up, and you started to contract your core like you're doing a crunch, and pulling your core in, you're going to round your back just a little bit, And this is going to engage your core versus standing up like this where you're popping your chest out.

Then your abs are actually lengthening.

You want to contract them a little bit, and then as you start to hinge forward to get into your posture, what you'll find is that your chin is naturally going to want to tuck back.

If you're somebody who's set up really rigid like this, and your chin is back, you can't really see the ball, so your head's going to have to round forward.

But the moment you start contracting your abs, engaging your core, and rounding your spine just a little bit, you'll see that you'll be able to keep your chin back, and this is key for mobility in the stroke.

So when you look at Tiger's posture, he's got this little bit of rounding, and what this is going to do is you round your back.

It's going to help your legs stand nice and tall.

This is going to make room for your arms to have room to swing.

If you're, again, setting up like this, you're going to tend to squat down like this, and your stroke's going to feel really weird.

Your arms are going to be pulled back too far into your shoulders, and so you're not going to have any freedom for your arm to swing.

So again, here's where you're looking for, and now, once you're in this posture, as you're going to start to get ready to make your stroke, one thing I want to emphasize is the importance of your trail hand grip.

Your grip, your thumb, should be either down the shaft or slightly to the side of it, and you'll see Tiger throughout the years, he's done both.

There's nothing, anything necessarily wrong with one way or the other.

This way, with a slightly stronger grip, as we get ready to make the stroke, will make it easier to feel more of a hinge back of your trail hand, because that's really what you're trying to feel in the putting stroke, is a slight hinge with your arms swinging with the one hand only, and then as we add both hands on, and we'll talk about in the next video, that's going to get the shoulders rocking.

But at first, you want to feel that you're making a simple hinge back with your right hand, and letting it re -hinge and release on the way through, while your right arm is, or your trail arm is swinging.

So grip and posture are super important.

The other thing that you're going to focus on as you're setting up to this tee drill, is having the ball forward in your stance.

What this is going to do is help you get more pressure on the lead side, which is going to make room for your lead arm to set up naturally, and it's going to also help you start to make a strike on the ball on a very slight upstroke.

I'm exaggerating that here, but you do want to catch the ball slightly on the upswing, and that will help the ball roll end over end, whereas if you're hitting down on the ball by having the ball too far back in your stance, it's going to want to skid and bounce around a lot.

So as you're setting up, make sure that the tees, or where the ball is going to be, is up in your stance off the inside of your lead foot.

So once I have my posture, my grip, and my ball position, now I'm ready, and my weight.

I want to have my weight forward, if you want to call it 60, 70, 80%, whatever you want to feel is most comfortable for you.

I feel about 65, 70% on my lead foot.

Square stance, rounding into my posture, so I'm just doing a little crunch to get into my posture, and now what I've got to find is how far do I want to stand to the ball.

Now, this tee drill is excellent for that.

A lot of times people will tell you just drop the ball, and it should be, if you drop a ball on top of the other ball, your eye line should be just to the inside of that ball, or over it, just like it was there.

Now, that's great, and I agree, but you can do that lots of different ways.

I can squat down like this.

I can stick my rear out like this.

Posture comes first, and once your posture is set up correctly, and your weight's forward onto the lead foot, you're biasing towards the balls of your feet, so your legs are nice and tall, you're rounding forward, that should give you, and the tee feedback is going to, I'm going to show you in a second, is going to give you how far you should stand from the ball.

So, if I make a stroke here, I'm just going to swing my arm back and a little bit of hinge and let it come through.

If I clip the tee at all, which I'm not here because I'm set up in the right spot for me, for my build and my size, but if I was too close, my club's going to want to go outside, and I'm going to probably likely clip the tee on the way through or come across with an open face.

If I'm too far away, my heel is going to catch it.

Most of the time, what I see is golfer standing too close to the ball, and so they clip the outside of the tee.

So, as you're practicing this drill, as you start to make this little wrist hinge, your elbow pit is facing out, you're letting your arm swing, you should miss both tees.

Even though it's very, very close, you should miss them when you're set up correctly, and you have the right spacing from the ball.

So, now that's my spacing, and if I drop the ball, it dropped just to, oops, I'll drop it from back here, right on the center of the putter face.

So, that's where you want to be.

If your head is set up correctly, again, a lot of times I see golfers with their shoulders really open or really shut, you want to set up very square, and then obviously a little bit of openness here or there for personal preference is fine, but you still want your head back behind the ball.

If you set your head up way over here, you're going to drop the ball, and it's going to be way out in front of the ball, and that's not going to help you see the line.

So, Your head being slightly back behind the ball allows you to look down the target line a lot more easily, and this will help you get a better read of the green.

Now, let's work on the stroke mechanics.

One of the main benefits of getting this slightly rounded posture is that it gets your arms in a position to hang freely from your shoulders.

As you pull your shoulders back and kind of have a rigid, really stiff-looking, straight-looking spine, your arms don't have any room to swing, and so it really kills your feel.

So, One of the things I want you to pay attention to as you're getting used to this stroke is that as you're set up, make sure that your hand feels like it's hanging pretty freely.

You shouldn't feel like you have to pull it in.

You shouldn't have to feel like you push it out.

If your shoulders are rounded forward and you feel like your chest is kind of pointing more down at the ground versus kind of popped out like this, this will get you in a position to where your arm will be free to swing.

And so, you won't feel like you're fighting it or needing to take it outside or yanking it in.

You'll find that you can swing nice and free and not clip the tees as you're going through.

So, now, once you have that and you've made some strokes, make some practice strokes before you put a ball down here, because again, This is going to be challenging at first until you really get a feel for this swing mechanics of this trail hand dominant move.

Now, once you put a ball down in here, there's two basic ways that you can feel the way you're going to strike the ball.

The first one is what, and again, I've seen Tiger do both throughout his multi-decade career.

So, there's not necessarily one wrong or right way to do it, but what this is going to do is help you find the preference for you.

So, the first way is letting the wrist and arm swing back, wrist hinge, and then letting it release on the way through.

And the release is, the way that you release this is very important.

It's more like a hinge.

It's just going back and forth like this.

It's not rotating like this.

That's impossible to time consistently.

As you're hinging back and hinging through, the putter face is staying quite square relatively.

It's moving on an arc, it is opening and closing, but you're not trying to open and close it that much.

You're simply trying to let it release.

And part of the release is happening through the strike.

So, as you're doing this, this is what's allowing the putter face to bottom out behind the ball.

So, again, why it's important for your head to be back.

If your head's over here, you're going to hit down on the ball.

But as it's starting, as your wrist is starting to release, the putter face is just a couple degrees coming up.

And that's going to give you a really pure roll on the ball.

The second way is what is more like your basic hinge and hold chipping stroke.

And you can do the same thing with the putter.

As you're swinging it back and you let this wrist hinge and your arms swing, as you come through, you start to feel that your wrist is staying arched back more.

And then as you're doing that, you're going to feel the putter, the butt of the putter, start to work slightly up.

Now, this becomes a lot easier once you put the lead hand on there.

But if you want to get a feel for practicing both releases with your trail hand only, this is a great time to do it.

So, you're just going to feel a hinge.

You're going to hold it through a little bit more.

It is still going to release on the other end.

But through the strike, you're not getting as much release.

You're getting a little bit more of a hinge.

But you do want to feel that you are actually hitting the ball with your trail hand.

Now, I know that sounds terrifying for so many golfers who've had the yips or what have you, But listen to this clip of Tiger talking about the importance of this drill for him before we get started and how he feels his trail hand working in the strike.

Again, I'm going to keep saying this, hit the ball in the middle of the face.

I know it's the smallest swing we make, but we all miss hit putts, which we really shouldn't.

It's the only reason why I do the T drill all the time.

I do it incessantly before every round.

I do it at home.

I do it everywhere.

I always do the T drill.

And that's just a simple little thing of having two T's, one on them.

They basically lean up against the putter.

And it's just to ensure that I hit the putt solid.

Well, it's a very simple drill.

I go about four feet from the hole and I put it right off the toe and right off the heel of putter.

As you can see from, you know, the back camera here, if I rest the putter up against the heel T, there's really not a lot of room on the toe.

So it ensures that, one, I have to hit the ball flush.

And I have to be able to make sure that I present the club face square every single time.

How I get there, it doesn't ensure that.

I can still take it back way inside.

I can take it outside.

But in order to get through the T's, I have to swing it where I hit the ball right in the middle of the face.

And I like starting with, with my right hand.

So I do with my right hand.

And I'll probably hit at least 20 or 30 of these just with my right hand.

Try and get a feel for it.

I like feeling the face rotate.

I like feeling my right hand hit.

I like feeling loaded in my stroke going back, release coming through.

When I then do enough of those where I feel comfortable, then I'll put my left hand on and try and simulate the same feel with both hands.

And then I'll go bounce back and forth between right-handed and both hands.

And I'll do this for a while.

And I, as a kid, I used to spend hours doing this.

As you begin to work on this drill, what you're really seeking is fundamentals.

You've got to video yourself and you've got to check each little piece that we talked about, your posture, your stroke, and your eye line, your setup, etc.

So from down the line, you're going to see everything that we just talked about going to fruition here, missing the T each time.

Face on, you're going to see the same thing.

It's just a very simple, small stroke.

What you're trying to get a feel for is controlling that putter face with your trail hand in a properly, fundamentally sound setup position.

Make a very basic stroke and you should be hitting the ball.

Of course, the T's are going to force you to hit the ball in the center of the face every time.

You can't do this enough.

The last thing that you may be wondering about with this drill is what about a forward press? A forward press is absolutely okay in doing this drill.

In fact, it's even desirable.

It helps preload this right hand, your trail hand, to get some wrist set in there.

So many golfers have been afraid of letting their wrist move at all.

And just kind of made this really awkward body movement that letting this trail hand hinge back is awkward at first.

So by doing a little bit of forward press, you start to get that preloaded and then it makes it natural for it to swing back.

So as I'm doing this drill, I do like to put a little bit of a forward press in there.

It's not totally natural for me.

I'm one of those people who was told not to use your hands at all, and I've always thought that that was the right way to putt.

But as I've gotten more comfortable with this, I have started adding a little bit of a bump to take that loft off the putter face, hinge the right hand back.

And then as I'm coming through, I, once I put my lead hand on there, I do like to hit some with a very kind of hinge and hold feel where I'm not as active releasing it.

Again, both ways work perfectly fine.

But if you want to have a little bit of a forward press to help you get the feeling of getting this right wrist to hinge back, it's perfectly okay to do that.

And that'll give you a feeling of keeping the hand delofted through the strike and give you more sensitivity and control in your trail hand.

Now, this drill is not just about repetitions.

It's truly about quality and concentration.

It's getting a feel for this hand and associating this hand and this face, and the angle of that face is pointing because as you start going to longer shots, as we go to chipping shots, pitch shots, bunker shots, full swings, et cetera, getting a sense of control with this hand is super important.

So it's very, very important that you get reps in and time in and quality reps in.

And so you can, the cool thing is you don't have to be at the golf course to do this.

You can do this at home with a putting mat.

And I found the perfect putting mat that'll help you guys be able to practice anytime, anywhere in the office, at your home, wherever.

So I'm going to show you that indoors right now and show you how to do this, set up the same drill indoors on a putting mat.

So, this putting mat from Eyeline Golf is about eight feet long, and it's got a specially designed cup in it.

That if you hit it too hard, it will miss.

It'll roll over the edge of the lip here.

So what's interesting about this is not only does it have that specially designed cup, but it's got lines on here.

And I like to practice what I consider kind of these diagonal putts starting from the outside, but it gives you a line to see where the center would be.

The reason this is, is a lot of times it's very easy.

Like once you kind of get set up to a putting mat, that's got a straight line on it to just hit the same shot over and over again.

But the moment you set up to this one, it's got to be just a little bit angled, you know, just like one degree, a couple of degrees to the side, it makes it much, much harder.

And so practicing from both of these slide angles, and you can practice on these lines as well.

And it's also got marks on it, four foot, six foot, and eight foot.

And Tiger practices these tee drills at four feet.

So that's where we're going to start today.

So I'm going to put a ball there.

And the way that you do the tee drill, when you're on a mat, you can't stick a tee in the ground.

This is with two extra golf balls.

So you just take two balls and stick them in just a couple millimeters outside of your putter face.

And that will give you the exact same effect of having tees in the ground.

So now you can start to practice.

If you hit a ball, if you make a mistake, it's just going to knock it off the mat.

But this will give you the feeling of the same, same effect as the tee drill.

But also because these lines are on here, you can start to see if you're taking the putter face to the outside, if you're taking it too much to the inside, it should work back slightly on an arc.

And again, depending on your grip, the more stronger your grip is, the more you're going to have a tendency to take it slightly to the inside, because as the stronger grip is going to hinge, it's going to hinge back to the inside.

So this will help you start to see what your putter face is doing, how much you're, you know, if you're pushing it down the line or what have you.

So a putting mat like this is perfect to practice.

If you can't get to the course all the time, you can't get to a putting green, this is the best way to practice.

So grab one of these if you can, I'll put a link down in the description.

Again, you can practice with these anywhere.

And what's really cool because the mat material, there's two things that are special about this.

One is it's, it's got a grain to it.

So it comes with a little, uh, Little cylinder that's got some fuzz on it.

That allows you to roll the mat, one way to make it slower, and roll it the other way to make it faster.

So what's cool about that is if your greens at your home course are not that fast, you can make it.

So if you roll it back like this with the little device that comes with it, it'll slow the green down by two or three feet on the stint meter.

And then as you keep putting on it, it starts to speed up because you start to get a line rolling down here.

You'll see, you can see how I'm changing the color of the mat there.

And then you just go back over one swipe instantly in two seconds, and it's back to the speed that you want it and so on.

So that's really, really helpful for this, but also the material that it's made out of allows it to take the contour of your floor.

So if you've got a floor that's not perfectly level, like most people do, this thing will break.

And what's interesting because of the material of it, you can bend it.

So you can actually take it and angle it.

And now you can start to play breaking putts and you can angle it both ways.

So it's really cool if your floor isn't perfect or you want to, you find a spot on the floor that gives you a little left or right putt, You can actually take this and move it to the side one way or the other, and actually play it as a breaking putt.

And it's really affordable.

You don't have to have some big expensive fancy putting green in your backyard.

This will give you a lot of the same effect for way less money.

So, Click the link in the description if you need a putting mat to work on your putting on this putting stroke at home.
