If you're looking for the best putting tip ever you've found it. This is no joke. I used to be a phenomenal putter. This was from practicing my putting a minimum 1 hour at the course and up to another 3 hours at home on indoors on the carpet into an indoor putting cup I called the Puttacup.
Everyone loses their putting at one time or another. If you're not making putts, you start thinking about your stroke. Thinking about your stroke is the worst thing you can possibly do. In order to become a great putter, you need to be target oriented. This is the best putting tip that's going to allow you to do just that. Don't believe me? Try it.
I know it can be frustrating when you aren't putting your best but don't worry. Now that you've found the best putting tip ever, you can watch it and go back to it in the future if you ever lose it again.
I thought of this putting drill many years ago and it has been tested on many golfers with them all saying it works great and helped them start putting great again. So give what I call the best putting tip a try. Once you do, leave your comment below so I can prove that becoming target oriented is the way to become a great putter.

Tip Link: • The Best Putting Tip E...
Hands down, consistently one of the best golf instructors on KZhead.
Thanks so much. I appreciate the support.
Paul I am a former professional. I watched your video went to the practice green, this is the craziest thing I have ever seen. I've used and worked hard on aim point. Your results were unbelievable!!!! I've been playing since I was 4 I have never seen anything like this in 52 years of playing!! Well done huge fan now. Thank you!!!
Thanks so much. So glad you tired it. Works like magic. Just remember to do it anytime you feel you aren't making any. Thanks for the support.
Dear Paul, It's really insane ... I have practiced it at my putting green equipment, the length is about 2.8 meter and he result has never been consistent like this. Thanks a lot, Paul, for this craziest putting tips that has never been since. I will practice at my golf club this Saturday and I am sure my golf mates will be surprised of the result, which will be sure I will make total putting of less than 36 uit in total ... Thanks again Paul for this incredible tips ... I will give a comment further after I practice it on Saturday this week ...
So glad you tried it. Yes, let us know once you get to try it outside.
Outstanding... didn't believe it..grabbed 5 different putters and went to the mat...boom,boom,boom with all 5 putters..thanks for your time...
Glad you tried it and see how great it works. Good job.
I tried this technique today…putted the best I have in a long time. Somehow my speed was great. When I missed long putts, they were left within inches of the hole. I almost holed out a 30 footer. I felt like I could make every putt I took today. Thanks so much for this video.
Great job! Glad you tried it.
@@paulwilsongolf 😊😅😮😂😢🎉
"Someone tell Rory!" 😂😂 good one
No doubt. He has to be the worst putter I have ever seen on tour. I did watch him make about a 3.5 footer in the Open. If he could putt like Harmon it wouldn't even be a competition. He would absolutely dominate.
@@paulwilsongolfit’s the same with Scheffler Mr Wilson. Drive for show putt for dough I suppose.
Totally blanked on Scheffler. Yes, he needs to watch it too. He is even worse than Rory.
@@paulwilsongolfagree re Rory's putting, he would dominate!! However with a coach like Faxon, you would have thought have thought he would be improving by now!
@paulwilsongolf I think your opinion about the fixation on putting stroke is bang on. When watching the pros I see them with their mirrors and alignment devices instead of letting the brain do things naturally, which is enphasized by your drill.
This is great Paul. I am a retired teacher of Golf for over 16 years, and I would tell my students to stop trying to take the putter straight back and through or ride the arc - mind and muscle kill your swing - even when you putt. Their putting grip pressure went from 5 to 10 trying to be perfect. LOL. I would tell them to loosen the grip to a 3 and then focus on the hole at impact - NOT the ball. Awesome tip! Excellent!
Very good. So glad we are on the same page. Mind boggling what is out there for the swing and putting. This stuff is no hard. Need to know what to do and keep it simple. Looking at the hole is similar. For me, I just like watching the putter hit the ball. Can look at the hole too.
I do this and it works phenomenally, light grip, relax and few natural swings while focusing on the target and then put without hesitation.
Nice! I used the look at the hole only with long putts and having them feel speed. Love that, too. I retired from teaching Golf and Tennis in November of 2021, and did not want to even see a Golf Club or Racquet until 2 days ago. LOL. My Current YT page does other things, but not a lot of Golf. That said, in my current video (Golf Swing and Putting), I told them to check this video out and will link it so they can see. I hate content theft, so I did not tell them WHY. Will let you know when I post it. @@paulwilsongolf
Looking at the hole is a way to putt too. I just like seeing the club hit the ball. I checked out your channel. Lots of training info there as you say not really golf info. Yes, let me know.
I like the imitation of the frustrated golfers! This is great. I stumbled onto something years ago and never realised why it worked so well until this video. I would imagine myself simply attempting to roll the ball in the hole similar to lawn bowling and then take the put, the improvement was the quickest and longest lasting change I'd ever had. It still works a charm, and thanks to you I realised its because I am not thinking thru the shot but simply making the shot. My method is different but I think essentially the same. Thanks!! I also applied a similar principle to my Irons, I basically imagine I'm chopping into a tree with an axe, this also had great results, even though I thought I would be slicing the ball a lot I didn't. Just had a simple, relatable, image in my head instead of a bunch of confused instructions!! Thanks again.
This really works. Thank you for sharing this, Paul. Every beginner should be shown this technique.
Glad you tried it and saw that it works. Remember it for the future.
You are The Best coach Ever!! I have Loved your teaching since the first video I watched! This video, I must say that I was skeptical- BUT you said it would work so I believed you and I tried it and By Golly you are Absolutely Right! (Of course you are). I played 2 days in a row with 90% 2 putts AND an occasional 1 putt! I Made my husband watch your video and he tried it and he said “I’m a convert “. I had been struggling with my putting lately- but no more! Thank You, Paul! No one teaches like you do ❤️
Thank you so much for the kind words and support. I truly appreciate it. So glad you tried this and saw results. That kind of putting is really going to help get those scores down. So glad you told your husband and it worked for him too. I just think outside the box.
I tried this today. Also explained it to my playing partner and he tried it even though he didn’t see the video. We were both amazed at how close we were lagging our putts.. Definitely going to practice this on a regular basis. Thanks for your videos!!
Very good. So glad you both tried it. Remember it for the future if your putting isn't sharp.
Paul I found you 3 weeks ago through this video. Yes, your best putting tip sounds crazy. It works though. Thank you!! For everyone over analyzing it. Do it on the course if you make the putt who cares how you do it. Long time high 80s low 90s player. Using your tips im in the low 80s and ready to be in the 70s in 3 weeks time. Im also not sore after playing. Which is huge. Thank you sir!!!
Glad you tried it and saw the power in it. You are so close now. As you keep getting there you will be comfortable and finally jump the hurdle. I talk about this in my first book. I have no doubt you will get there. Great job. Playing pain-free is a great too.
Great tip! You are spot on. Huge improvement in my putting! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
the wiggle part helped me, but it also helped me realize that I focus too much on lining up correctly and getting the path right that I just push or pull all my putts. This just helps me pick my line, get up to the ball, and just putt. This will take some time to adjust on the course, but during practice I definitely see and feel a difference.
Very good. So glad you tried it and see the power of it. Keep it simple.
What a great drill. Not only does this help with the accuracy of your putting, but I was amazed at how much better my contact with the putter was. I'd stuggled for years with the strike on the ball with my old putting stroke. I was hitting dead center of the putter face with this drill.
Glad you tried it. Thanks for posting your experience. You're the first one to mention you get great contact with it too. Yes, this is another benefit. Try to remember it for the future if you putting isn't sharp.
@@paulwilsongolf That makes me now wonder if the "why" of this move I've found (lucked into) to cause far better contact on long putts is merely a version of this. Would make sense, as I've made no effort to "quantify" it. For my chipping practice, I take my putter to the scattered results and experiment with ways of getting such long distances done via putts back to my chipping area. Had settled on just stroking through a spot a couple of inches in front of the ball on my "target line", but the backswing had to be "inside" the target line - my idea of an "arc" - but no "particular" arc. Initially thought it only worked if it was used with a "wristy" stroke, but eventually found that that *wasn't* the common denominator. And, solid contact nor great distance control were *not* the prime goal, but they quickly became rather amazing "side effects", especially considering what a *horrendous* putter I've always been. Thanks to this tip, further experimentation is most certainly in order. 🙂 Thank you! Now can't get Billy Mayfair out of my mind. . .
Yes, don't over analyze it. Just keep doing it so you become target oriented not stroke oriented. Just remember that you are no wiggling it when you play (you can if you want) but I typically have people do their normal stroke on the course.
Wow what a tip, this has been by far the best golf tip ever. I have made more puts after working on you tip then I have ever made, along with a few birdies. Thanks for the time you spend helping us arm swingers. Stephen Crawford
Glad you tried it and glad it helped. Keep remembering it for the future.
Paul, I often missed (30%) short putts when I concentrated and tried to do everything right, but about 4 years ago I noticed that I always made (100%ish) short putts when I did not care. I would walk up to a four to five foot putt and not even set myself (maybe still walking) and putt the ball into the center of the hole. I realized then that I should try this mentality with long putts too. Unbelievable. It worked except I did set myself briefly and would simply tell myself I don't give a crap if the ball goes in or not. It really freed up my head and stroke. It works. I think it is the same principle that you are talking about in this video.
Very good. This is what I am saying in this tip. You didn't care so you saw the target and hit it to the target. I should have called it the don't give a crap putting tip.
@@paulwilsongolf Copyright that title. It sounds good. Thanks for the reply.
@@paulwilsongolf😂 that would have got a million views with that title 😂
@@paulwilsongolf how about the phukitputt?
On the just walk up and putt it, remember John Daley, in my memory he was the first and maybe only pro I've seen to essentially just walk up and putt it - short and long putts. Thanks for the tip Paul, I will definitely try this
I tried this yesterday when i have been putting horrendously and I no joke made every single putt. I was just flabbergasted. Thank you so much.
That's great. So glad you tried it and see the power in it. Try to remember it for the future. Just do this before you play then normal stroke when you play.
Again thank you so much!!@@paulwilsongolf
So you had a round with 18 putts?
Paul Wilson!!! Yes you are the man!! This drill is the best. I used it today for the first time and only had 25 putts. The only thing I would add is people need to remember to move the putter with their shoulders and not the hands.
Glad you tried it and did well. Just remember to be target oriented into the future.
I watched this video a few weeks and my putting has improved significantly. The target focus has helped the rest of my shots as well.
Very good. So glad you tried and saw results. Yes, they key is to be target oriented. Keep at it.
Helped out a lot when I last went out. I plan to continue using this drill!!
Great to hear! Glad you tried it.
Thank you for the great tip ! I haven’t made more putts or gotten more putts closer than I did in my last round after watching this video. Priceless wisdom once again 🙏
Great job! Glad you tried it. Priceless for sure.
have or haven't?
Thank-you so much for this putting tip/miracle!!!! I immediately went out used your putting in League play. I seen a definite improvement in target focus. I then played in a scramble on the weekend & putted LIGHTS OUT!!! I made 3 long putts totaling over 80 feet. Two of the 3 putts were for EAGLE and each putt was 25 feet or more. (No Pressure 😂). I was freer & more target focused. I really never gave any thought to how far any of the putts were. Our final score was 12 under for the day! This was a CHAMPIONS TOURNAMENT for all the golf leagues that play at the golf course during the golf season. I have played golf for over 40 years & this was my best day of putting!! Thank-you Paul!!!
Wow! That's great. Perfect timing to do it in a tournament. Try to remember it for the future. If you feel you aren't making anything just do the drill.
Just tried this yesterday with 10 putts..did very well..need to try it more and see full results. What I like about this tip is the amount of pressure/anxiety that has been taken off because now I just wiggle back , putt forward and just continue to play my game. If anything, this strategy has reduced stress levels 10x!!!!
This is great stuff Paul! Will definitely try before my round in the morning! Thanks so much!
Glad you liked it. Let me know how you do.
Good tip Paul. Years ago I did the no look at the ball drill after setting up and deciding on my line, and it ended up becoming a regular routine for me. This is right in line with that because focus is on the target. I find that getting hypnotized staring at your ball/putter/line is just too static and rigid, and more often than not on putts of 4' or longer you're offline when you come through.
Yes, there have a been a lot of people who benefitted from looking at t he hole. This would be target oriented too but I think most people don't like doing it. They like to look at the ball and putter. That is where this drill comes in and will help countless people get target oriented too. Up to you which you decide to do.
Paul this is a putting version of David Lee's old proprioception drills! I did this for three straight days and yesterday and today I played in our state's super senior AM tournament and I putted great in tournament conditions on greens that were running over 13. I only 3-putted twice, and anyone who plays in tournaments can tell you it's a totally different deal than playing with your buddies. I think what this does is it makes you instinctively feel the weight of the putter. Pretty amazing.
Interesting. I know Danny Lee quite well. Met him at our course one day. He came over to me and shook my hand and said David said that I was the closest teacher to what he taught. So glad you tried it and saw results. Those were super fast greens so only 3 putting twice is huge. Never thought about it making you feel the weigh of the putter but interesting thought.
You are Amazing to come up with that. I’Will practice this for sure. I’m 53 years old, golf instructor part time and I’m 5 hdcp. I can’t wait to see results on a real game. Martin Québec City
Thanks Paul. Another great tip. Im now playing on the Tour😊
Now that would be a great headline. Guy watches tip and becomes a tour player. Hmmm, maybe that will actually happen.
I took this to the practice green today and showed a few guys. They were speachless and could not comprehend how I was sinking these putts. I felt it created a natural flow of the putter head through the ball. Hands were suddenly very soft. Unbelievable 🙆♂️ 👍👍👍
Glad you tried it and saw some great putting. Remember it for the future.
Paul, you did a putting tip video awhile back where you showed to take some practice swings while looking at the target to gauge speed. I took that to the course the next day and putted the best I ever had, every long putt ended up within 4 feet of the hole, and even made some birds too! This drill seems awesome and can't wait to try it. Please keep the short game tips coming!
Glad you saw that one. That one is a good one too for sure. Goes hand in hand with this one. Such a good feeling when you aren't giving shots away around the green. Glad you are working on it.
I almost always look at the pin no matter how long the putt, and I putt so much better. It's like your subconscious takes over. BTW, I had no idea Jordan Spieth did this on short putts.
He does that. Doesn't seem to be working as good for him lately.
It's unbelievable how well it works! Thank you Paul for spending your time and money helping us.
Great to hear! Just trying to make people better. I am doing what I can.
I'm pretty sure that Paul makes money by making these video's. I'm glad he does, they're great. It really works. I just tried it on my carpet. I'm reminded of watching a video of Ben Crenshaw putting from behind at a low angle, he's got a long back swing and it drifts all over. Could he be thinking more of hitting the target than anything else? I bet that's true.
Well yes, you make some money when people watch the videos. Am I going to quit my day job? No. I use the Crenshaw example all of the time. You would think his stroke was perfect. Nope. Hooded and looping. Does anyone think he was thinking of his stroke? Hope not cause he was thinking target which allowed his stroke to work very well for him. Need everyone to think like this.
What a powerful drill, Paul! It is almost unbelievable that such a weird and peculiar piece of advice can bring so much confidence in putting. Without having practised, I decided to try this technique on a practice round and it felt incredible. It helps to feel relaxed in front of the ball, the movement is smooth and hitting the ball feels soft and square every time. I'm sure this drill will help me improve my scores and lower my handicap. Thank you!
Glad you tried it and see the power in it. Just need to think outside the box. Remember to do your normal stroke when you play and remember to do this drill if you feel you aren't making anything.
This makes sense. Shooting a basketball you’re focusing on the rim not on your shot. Your tips are simple and hands down the most effective teacher online or in person. Your full swing tip of starting the downswing with your lower body has dropped my handicap from 20 to a 7 all while being the worst putter on the course. I’m convinced I can get to a scratch with even an average putter. Thank you!
Exactly. Same idea. Glad you like my teaching. I appreciate the support. Simple is the key for sure. Wow! That's a huge drop. You have to be so excited having so much more fun out there. Great job. Well, you are certainly on your way to scratch. Getting to a 4 is easily doable. Getting to par is a lot harder. Need precise positioning and a great short game. Good goal to have though. Keep at it.
I went out and I tried this today. I am amazed at how accurate this is. I find out the shorter pets I need to wigle it around much less, but it is still better than trying to control the club head through the backswing in the forward swing. Thank you very much!
Very good. So glad you tried it and saw results. Keep remembering it for the future.
This works! Both my son and I tried this and it made a big difference. Thanks for the excellent tip!
Great to hear! Try to remember it for the future if you aren't making any putts. Just do the drill and you will have it back.
This actually worked! Love it!
So glad you tried it. Try to remember it in the future if you feel you aren't making any putts.
I did a little mini test of this on a indoor putting mat and a Putt-Out cup, didn’t miss a one and even got it to “stick” in the micro cup. I was laughing to myself after a few minutes. The putter face doesn’t lie!
Very good. So glad you tried it and saw how amazing it is. Keep at it.
Listen as a new golfer who has played basketball for 35 years, all I can say is YES!!! IM NOT CRAZY.... when I first started putting I didn't worry about anything other than the cup. (Aka the target) I was sinking 10 footers like free throws. Then, as I played more and started watching other people and listening to guys give me tips putting became the hardest part of the game. For me putting is so much easier when I take the jump shooter mentality. Focus on the target and simply follow through.
Exactly. Give this a try too and then you will be back. Target is the key for sure.
I 100% agree! I just picked up golf 3 years ago. I raced motocross and played college football growing up so I’m pretty well coordinated. When I started golfing I was burying putts! 10-20-30footers! My boss couldn’t believe it on a company outing, sunk a 35footer in front of the outing host in a putting contest. Now 3 years later my putting has greatly declined. After watching your video this makes way to much sense. When I started I was focusing on target and referencing my ball out of the corner of my eye. Now I stare at the ball and not the cup! I’m leaving for a 3 day outing in about ten minutes and cannot wait to try this out!!! I’ll report back here when I return home!
Yes, glad you found this. Give it a try and you will see the power of it. You explained it perfectly what has happened to your putting. Need to be target oriented.
@@paulwilsongolf 100% true. My putting is back on the incline. I sank at least 35% of my putts and was on target with everything. I even almost buried a 35-40foot putt and I never even looked at the ball on that one at all! Thanks for the tip!
Very good. Keep at it.
Good sir. I love your videos and your straightforward approach!!!
Thanks for the support. I appreciate it.
😂😂😂 This is amazing! My golfing buddies are going to think I’m crazy! Thank you, Mr. Wilson, love it!
For sure. Going to be funny when they are opening their wallets to pay you.
@@paulwilsongolf but the problem is, I’m starting to think why can’t this be done with all the clubs! 😂😂😂 You’re amazing, Boss! Keep up the great work!
Well, not sure about that. You might get a weird backswing going.
I'm a father of 4, married, quite succesfull in life. Just repicked Golf after over a 20 years break. My personality is quite modest but i have to confess that my dream would be crossing the ocean and have a 3 days school in Vegas with you as coach! Thank you Mr. Wilson! From Bodyswing, Chipping, to Putting! Thank you for sharing people a life filled with enjoyable Golf!
Thank you so much. I appreciate the support. Be great to meet and work with you. Just let me know if you can make it in the future. Keep up the good work. Glad you got back into playing. Fun times ahead.
Thanks Paul, your overall tips helped me so much last season! (e.g. the last 36 holes I played I hit driver some 28 times almost dead straight, only one slight fade maybe 12 yds off straight!). For a 18 HC ...wow. SO I have a I think a unique putting tip, after maybe watching some literally 1000 YT videos last 4 yrs, NO ONE has mentioned this method. But hope you like this one and use it as advice. Works fairly well to read greens. So, usual advice is stand in line with your shot to hole with feet spread apart (90 Degrees to the line) and "feel" any slope L or R. Well, my feet are not that calibrated unless its a BIG slope. What I come up with is to plumb bob my putter, holding it say waist height, after standing with both feet evenly apart 90 degrees to the line. Then hold my putter, lightly with two fingers so putter can swing freely L or R. The putter head is down near the green & my feet. I now stand straight, balanced; so now IF the slope is say R to L, the putter will be slightly closer to my LEFT FOOT. Right side is higher. Proves the ball will run slightly R - L. Further, but a well known tip is to check if the lip of the hole is worn say on that left side, maybe even brown blades of grass bent down on that side; If so, Left side is lower. Hope you like this idea re using the putter plumb bobbing between the feet, to verify what your feet should feel? Thanks again and take care, hope you have a great 2024 season. Ron K
Yes, wow. That's great. So glad you found me and are doing well. I am not big on feeling it in my feet. Can't seem to feel any difference. Plumb bobbing has been around forever but they hold it up at eye level. Waist high is different and may actually work. I think some of it would be dependent on leg length. If one leg was shorter you would have to take that into consideration. I will try it and see how it works. If so, I may do a tip on it in the future. Thanks for sending it. Keep up the good work.
Re shorter leg, never thought of that one...maybe calibrate first on cement dead level spot?
Right. Calibrate first then take that into consideration.
Wow, it really works. Watched this tip before I went out and played the second day of our member/member after a horrendous first day. Made two birdies and saved a LOT of pars. Really great.
It sure does. I wouldn't say it if it didn't. Try to remember it for the future if you find you aren't making anything.
I will definitely try this technique. I already had a suspicion that this was the key, hearing you suggest this putting practice encourages me to try immediately!
Very good. Keep in mind you do this before the round. When you play you do your normal stroke. Post your results. Those who reply I put a red heart beside them so others can see how powerful this is.
Just tried this at 12ft. I suck at putting. Omg missed the first then made 5 in a row. Just tried telling my wife and she just looked at me like I was a dingbat. Gonna try this one the links on Sunday. Thanks again!!
Nice one. Glad you tried it and you saw the power of it. Let me know how you do on the course.
Will do. This is crazy. I’m rarely missing, thank you! 🤯
You nailed this one Paul. Our subconscious minds are way more in control than we imagine. I look at the target, imagine the line, and let it go with no thought of technique. I’m a good, sometimes great putter. No thoughts of stroke, just where I want the ball to go.
Very good. Exactly what I said. I am seeing other commenters saying the same thing. This is the key to great putting.
You’re Mr Paul “birdie man” Wilson I’m just me I’m not sure it will work but I’ll try 😂
You've got this. You'll see.
Holy cow...this is crazy...and it works. Never seen or heard anything like this before, been playing for almost 40 years. Wish I had seen this back then!
Glad you tried it. Try to remember it for the future. If you aren't making any just do this drill again.
Great tip Paul will try this method! Many thanks!
Very good. Let us know how you do.
I certainly will!
Paul, I worked this today with my new evnroll. It’s a great way to get you to not stress. I usually watch the putter to insure it’s on the right path. This has caused tension and 80% of my putts to be short. This gave me free flow. I did a practice stroke with it then hit my putt. It was a successful transition. I won’t say I made as many as you, but I did like the change in focus. More to follow. I find all you videos insightful and recommend you a lot.
Glad you found this tip and tried it. As I said, you think about your stroke and you will be a terrible putter. Need to be target oriented. Say focused and keep doing this into the future.
Paul, why does the video have a typed scroll telling you to yluse your normal stroke when you go to play?
If you want to wiggle it out there you can can. I just don't want to look like an idiot wiggling it when you play. The drill gets you target oriented which is all you need to be a great putter.
@@pderbs1so people don't go out and suck more then comeback and comment.. he wants you to practice before hitting the course
I don't care what people comment good or bad. I know the results I get with the drill. I have told tons of students about it over about 20 years since I thought of it and I am 100% on them putting great after trying it. Just look at all the hearts below this tip. Those are the comments I got back. I don't say I can do something or show something that doesn't work or hasn't been tested hundreds if not thousands of times. Only been doing this for 33 years.
Best tip ever? Confirmed. Played 9 holes on course I’ve played for years. Had 11 putts total including a 40 footer on 9 to save par. My best score ever on a course I’ve been playing for 30+ years. It felt unreal. Will be doing this before every round for the rest of my life.
Glad you agree. I don't say it if it isn't true. Nice round. Exciting times ahead.
I tried this last Saturday and it really works. No more 3 or 4 putts. The wiggle putt really helped me especially with my short putt. Thanks for your video. It is the best putting tip ever!
So glad you tried it and got results. Try to remember it for the future.
@@paulwilsongolfdo I putt normally on the course?? Without the wiggle?
I love it! Thank you Paul!!!
Glad you like it! Thanks
Took off at least 5-8 strokes with this. It's about relaxing and use your natural swing. Your brain is the best calculator and it sends the message seamlessly to your hands. DO NOT hesitate once you're about to hit because it defeats all this.
Very good. Glad you tried it and see how powerful it is. I have been saying your brain will figure it out for years. Too many people overthinking it.
I tried it today, halfway anyway. I hit maybe 10 or 12 putts this way before my round, from about 25 feet. All stopped within 3 feet and I sank one. That is fantastic putting for me. On the course, I beat my average by seven strokes (85), and my putting was better than ever. I'm going to stick with this. Now, can you give me something like this for my driver?
Very good. Thanks for posting. Need to tell me what your driver is doing. I get results super-fast. Watch me fix this student in minutes: kzhead.info/sun/pJmLn86Mr2epe4E/bejne.html
THANKS ANOTHER great video, learning golf and laughing. You are very funny guy.
Glad you enjoyed it. Glad you see the humor. I will keep doing what I do.
Good tip! I will continue to use it in my practice and see if my putting improves. Thanks
Glad you liked it. Let me know how you do.
Paul. Didn’t have much time before Teetime today but I tried your tip. Not kidding first practice putt from about 30 ft I wiggled on backswing and the ball went in! Only got about 10 practice putts in but I feel like I hit my line a lot more today than usual. Gonna keep using it. It frees my mind to hit the line with the right pace without worrying about a straight backswing Thanks a lot. Steve fr Ohio
Very good. Glad you tried it. Keep at it.
Best tip ever! Thanks Paul. I have made all the other mistakes for 50 years! I am so excited to take this out on the course. 7:54
Glad you liked it. Thanks. Let me know how you do.
Thanks! Excellent drill for developing better putter feel (weight and change of direction) and smoother overall motion.
Glad you liked it. For sure helps the overall stroke.
Absolutely RIGHT! I've been doing just that myself before seeing your video. Aim at the target only.
Very good. You figured it out. Target oriented. That is the key.
Interesting timing of this tip. I had a rough round putting recently due to playing on a course with crazy fast greens. I went to the driving range/putting area at my local course (East Potomac for those who know) to meet with my wife after her lesson to play a quick 9 on the par 3 course and she was talking about the "pause to gather" in the backswing concept. For some reason I thought to try an ever so slight pause with mu back stroke while putting...and all of a sudden I was the master of putting! Moral of the story is I think the pause in my back stroke forced me to send the putter forward towards the target. I kept the pause during my round and am going to try it this weekend, but if that starts to falter, I'll use this wiggle drill to get my mind focused on the target.
Glad you are trying to figure it out. Yes, give this a try too. You are on your way.
Hi Paul, just have to give you an update. Did the wiggle on the practice green, not quite 25 times; then went out on the course. Probably for the first time in my life did nine holes with only thirteen putts, including 5 one-putt greens! Is it a miracle or the wiggle? I think the latter. Thanks so much!
Wow! That's great. So glad you tried it. Please remember it for the future if you find you aren't making any putts. Just do the drill again and you will get it back instantly.
You're a genius!
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Yep....this drill works as promised. Kudos to Paul!!!!!!!!
Glad you tried it and saw results. Try to remember it for the future. If you aren't making anything just do the drill again.
So after practicing 25 wiggle putts are you doing the same on the first green?
I guess you missed the black bars with yellow text that came on the screen twice telling you to DO YOUR NORMAL STROKE WHEN YOU PLAY. And people wonder why I repeat myself in my tips.
I'm curious, why do you advise using the 'normal' stroke on the course?
This is a refocusing technique. Most people are thinking too much about their stance, the path of the putter, the arc, etc. When really, we all know how to hit the ball to the target but we're not focusing on that. This relaxes that swing-centric focus and reprioritizes it to the hole itself. Knowing you're refocused means you don't need to do the wiggle on the course itself. You COULD, of course, but like a lot of training exercises, they're not meant for the game itself.
My guess....Gary Player putts incredibly well with an outside in stroke, ala Bobby Locke. He never putts like that on the golf course; I imagine he still makes more putts with his stroke, but has used Locke's method to better understand what is really important about putting: getting the ball started at the target.
Because after you do this 25 times you will be thinking of the target. If you are thinking of the target why wiggle it. Give it a try and let us know how you do.
It would be a refocusing for someone that was half decent then lost it. It is a focusing for those who were never very good.
This is why I say stop thinking stroke. I tell people to type in Ben Crenshaw putting stroke and you will see a shut faced, looping stoke. I also tell them do you actually think Crenshaw was thinking about his stroke as he putted. No. He was target oriented. Player and Locke as well were not picture perfect. Maybe we should analyze what the best putters of all time were doing.
Thats just crazy, my through stroke was silky smooth... Thanks Paul!!!!!
Yep. Not sure why some people would doubt me. As if I'm going to post it if it isn't amazing. Glad you tried it. Remember it for the future if you find you just aren't making anything.
What a great tip. Tried it yesterday. Wow - it works.! Thank you. Can’t wait to play again tomorrow.
Glad you tried it and saw results. Just do it anytime in the future if you feel you aren't making anything. Do the drill then your stroke when you play. It's all about being target oriented.
I'm at a loss. Can't define it. Don't care. I love the drill. Completely target oriented. It works. I'm adding it to my no look drill.❤
Very good. Let us know how you do.
Paul. My putting has been letting me down for ages. I actually used this drill playing 18 holes yesterday and had my lowest round in years! Thank you so much.
Very good. So glad you tried it and were successful. Keep at it.
Thanks Paul, used this technique today. Made 15 and 25ft putts to start my round 2 under. Made a couple of tens and had 4 lip outs. I’m sold on this .
Very good. Just as I said. Try to remember it for the future. If you aren't sinking anything just do the drill.
Instant success 6 in a row Thank you!
Great job! Try to remember it for the future.
Tried it, this works. Playing golf with my eyes and stroking the ball without any tension. My typical score is 83. Today 78 with no three putts and quite a few tap ins for par. Tried it with an 80’ wedge from a side hill lie. I typically try to land a pitch on a spot and let it roll out. This time I just looked at the hole even though there was a 10’ right to left break. Ball lipped out. This is the real deal.
Very good. So glad you tried it and saw how great it works. Try to remember it for the future.
Yep! Tried it today and it works! After months of putting woes...I will be giving this a month and see what happens....🙏
Very good. Glad you tried it and see the magic. Remember it for the future. Remember. This is a drill. You do it before you play then use your stroke when you play.
this guy’s tips are the only ones i try that help immediately
Glad you see that. I get results super-fast. Have been doing so since 1991. Since I've been in Vegas my students come from all over the world so they are only here for a short period of time then I usually never see them again so I need to get them hitting it better than they every have in their lives in a very short period of time. This is why I say things the way I do. Glad you're with me.
Will try next week. Always thought putting is more mental than technique. This tip proves it.
The mental part is very big too for sure. Yes, this tip will help with that as well.
I love this guy so much. he really talks the talk and walks the walk
I sure do. I don't say it if I can't do it or if it doesn't work. Here's a good one. Not sure if you've seen it but this is my in action fixing a massive slicer in minutes: kzhead.info/sun/pJmLn86Mr2epe4E/bejne.html
@@paulwilsongolf I'm pretty new to the sport so I'm trying to soak up as much help as I can get, especially from those who not only explain concepts well, but can also demonstrate it over and over again. So really thank you, Paul. You seem to be one of the better coaches on youtube so I'd be happy to take a look at more of your lessons. 👍
Thanks so much. Wish I could go back and start again. Just keep this stuff simple. Hinge and rehinge the wrists. Coil and uncoil the body. Watch for spin (wrists) and direction (body). Then not hitting with arms in the down and through swing. Power it with the legs and hips. All of my tips are based on this.
AMAZING. Yes, I thought you were crazy. But it really works. Best putting tip ever. Thank you so much.
Glad you tried it and saw how amazing it is. Remember it for the future. If you aren't making any just do the drill.
Since seeing this, I’ve been using it. Works for me!
Glad you tried it and are seeing results.
Paul - just tried this drill and it worked wonder! Thank you so much Paul
That's great. So glad you tried it. Try to remember it for the future when you feel you aren't making any putts.
When is was young I never struggle putting the last year or so I've began to struggle. Practice all the time I've got’n worse. I did this drill 30 times before I played today. Best I've ever putted in my 35 years of playing golf!
Yep. As you got older you started thinking too much. Now I reversed the clock for you. Keep doing it and you will putt great all of the time. Glad you tried it.
Thanks for sharing this info Paul I played yesterday at the club and literally had my best round of the year on the putting green,at one point my playing partner gave me a compliment and all I could do was😊
Very good. Huge part of the game. Try to remember this drill for the future.
I believe you are correct, I'm target orientated as you say and when I putt the putter head moves slightly off line .... I just continue with the stroke, when I try to keep it still in the stroke I miss more often
Very good. Just move the Putter to the target no matter the backstroke.
Thank you! It is so good tips!!
You're welcome. Glad you like the tips.
Great tip Willow 👏🏻👏🏻🏴🇬🇧
I would be Willow Jr.
OK, Paul, I am a believer. Just now I putted five balls at a practice cup 20 feet away (indoors on carpet). Made the first one, missed the second by about 6 inches, and then sank three in a row. Wow! Putting is a golf stroke everyone can do, and everyone can improve on. Thank you for this tip!
Very good. Glad you tried it. Need to be target oriented.
I look forward to trying this. I also focus on the stroke and never the target. This may help a lot! I'll let you know how it goes.
Yep, just give it a try. Got to get you thinking target for sure.
Wow. It works. Thanks Paul
It sure does. Glad you tried it.
The demo was impressive👍
Finally someone saw that. I almost sunk 3 in a row from 24 feet. First 3 putts of the day.
I'm literally astounded. I have an artificial putting "hole" device that I use as a target when practicing my putting indoors (on carpet). From 12 feet, it went in the cup on my first attempt at using this method. The next 2 attempts from 15 feet either went in or was within 1 inch of the cup. Thanks for the tip, and I'm excited to take it to the course !!
Glad you tried it and saw results as I said. For sure give it a try out there. Good job.
Thank you-my beginner family and I shall try this.
Very good. See how you do.
Im going to try this. I'll keep you updated 👍
Please do. I have put a red heart beside all those who tried it and replied with their results below this tip. It's working for tons of people.
I actually look at the hole when I'm practicing sometimes don't even look down at the putter at all, but the wiggle tip is a fantastic one, thank you
You can do that too. I just never liked looking at the hole. I like to see the putter hit the ball. Up to you.
Thanks Paul, I’ll give it a try. 👍🇨🇦
Let us know how you do.
Will add this - definitely brings something additional to the table.
Glad you are going to try it. Once you do post your results below. I am putting red heart beside all commenters who tried it and have seen how amazing it is.
@@paulwilsongolf This just freed me up! I was so focused on the take away that my transition to the actual putt was late, early or jerky - randomly messing up pace and line. After doing your drill, I now take a few air puts looking at the hole to get the pace and then magically and consistently put a smooth stroke on the ball. This really helped me out in what was the weakest area of my game. Thank you!
Glad you got it. Great feeling when you are putting well.
Paul, you were right, i don't know how but I have played 4 rounds and putts were going in like never before. thank you Rick Pederson
Glad you tried it and saw the power of it. Try to remember it for the future if you feel you aren't making any.
I am going to try this, this upcoming weekend. This reminds me alot of archery as I am a big archery hunter. The focus in archery is not on the pin it is on where you want the arrow to end up. Very interesting take, thanks!
Very good. Let us know how you do. Yes, same concept as archery. You've got this.
Just tried this on my DJ putting mat. Hit 6 straight puts from 8 foot into the small half sized hole!!!! Can’t wait to try it on the course
Very good. You see the power in it. For sure try it on the course. Let us know how you do.
Paul, i just putted 21 balls from 33', 20", 12' and 6'(tight knit carpet on a not so level floor putting to a 4.5" piece of metal) 15 of 21@ 33' & 20', 17 of 21 @ 12' and 19 of 21 @ 6' . The best part of this drill was, no miss was longer than 14" past the hole. Once again, thanks Paul. The best video for me over : Practice Ball Position-Stance-Foot Placement, Neutral Grip & Stop Topping FW's. Thanks again
Very good. Glad you tried it. Keep at it.
EXCELLENT ADVICE! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
You are so welcome!
