In today’s video, “How to Make More Putts | ‘Concrete’ Legs Equal More 1-Putts,” you’ll find out how to sink more putts.
Not just one or two, but a lot of putts, day in and day out…
With this drill you’ll discover how to be “rock solid” over the ball.
You’ll be the guy in your local foursome that is known for making the clutch putts.
And it all starts with the lower body.
When you watch players like Tiger Woods or Jordan Spieth, you’ll see the same thing every time they’re over a putt.

Video Transcription:
All right, so to groove this stroke, we really want to be stable throughout our entire body.
I’ve got a great little drill that I like to practice when I get out of whack. A lot of times I feel like I have some extra movement in the stroke, and we’re going to work on our balance, and we’re going to work on our lower body staying really steady.
So as I set up to this putt, I want to imagine that everything from my waist down, so everything from the belt down doesn’t move at all.
I want to have that nice and consistent, and that way as I’m stroking my putt back and through, I want to feel really stable with the lower body.
Now I want to go through a progression of how to hit some putts and really work on this. Let’s get rid of the ball for a second, all I want you to do is set up to an imaginary ball.
I’m going to line up, and what I want to do is I want to feel pressure equally distributed between my left foot and my right foot.
Then what I’m going to do is I’m going to put a little more pressure on my right foot so I can feel that, a little more pressure on my left, and I’m going to kind of rock back and forth until I can feel just 50/50 equal weight distribution.
Now I’m going to make a stroke, and I’m going to concentrate 100 percent on not moving the weight in my feet at all.
So I’m going to make a nice, easy stroke going back and through. I felt a little bit of movement there with my weight. I’m going to really go slow and feel my feet, and I’m only focusing on my feet.
After I’ve done about 10 reps to 15 reps doing that, after I feel the good weight distribution 10 or 15 reps, now I’m going to go to my knees.
I’m going to make sure as I putt, my knees aren’t moving at all. So if I start to move my knees a little bit like this, that’s going to throw things off, it’s opening and closing my face of my putter, I don’t want to do that.
So I’m going to do another 10 to 15 reps making sure that my knees don’t move at all.
Then lastly, I’m going to focus in on my belt buckle, and I’m going to make another 10-15 reps feeling like my belt buckle doesn’t move at all.
It’s just coming from the upper body, that stroke. Then once I’ve put all three of these pieces together, 10 or 15 reps each, now I’m feeling pretty good, I’m going to go ahead and I’m going to hit some putts.
So I’ve actually lined myself up with a pretty difficult putt here, but I’m going to keep really stable with the lower body, it’s going to allow me to make that putt, really feel clutch on these close putts.
If you eliminate the lower body, you’ll be amazed at how much more in tune you get with your putter head and how much more you can feel.
So good luck to you guys, work through these drills, let’s go 15 with the feet, weight distribution. 15 with the knees, 15 with the belt buckle, and let’s go ahead and make 15 putts from varying distances, whichever one you feel comfortable with.
Work on this, get stable, you’ll make a lot more putts.
