I feel like I just took a $1000 private putting lesson with Brad Faxon. Incredible teacher and you are a great student, Rick! This was awesome. Thank you, Brad, for being so generous sharing your knowledge and thank you, Rick, for bringing this video to us!
1000....10,000
I can't believe we get this for free
Hey tell Brad thanks for getting Metacomett bulldozed in his home state at your next lesson
Couldn’t agree more.
100%
20 Minutes in and I have already learned more than I have putting alone for 2 years. This is fantastic and Brad really is as good as people say...
That was the same with me but I have been playing for 8 to 9 years and this is the best lesson thanks Rick thanks Brad
Probably the most important 40 minutes of video you’ve ever produced. This will be on my replay list forever. Thanks Rick and thanks Brad!
This is 100% the best instructional video in the history of golf. Rick I’m a huge fan of yours and I’m thankful that through your hard work and dedication of all these years, you’ve been able to provide all of us with a phenomenal golf lesson by brad! Thanks Rick!
Yup!!!!
Agreed.
Terrible video. What’s his point
These actual lesson videos with the worlds top instructors are so good. It’s like we are getting these great lessons for free.
These actual lesson videos are the most informative golf videos I've ever seen. After the first I've been able to hit my drive 250 avg after going 2 years without hitting it because I couldn't get more than a couple feet off the ground. Thank you so much for taking us down this journey with you. It's going the help countless golfers. Keep it up!
Try Golf Sidekick if you want to learn about course management and scoring well for amateur golfers. He’s the best for that, and pretty charismatic too, but with a style all of his own. He played Pebble Beach, which was great to watch, but usually just plays local courses in Thailand. He’s South African, though. Even has lectures, which are good, serious, but a bit tongue in cheek to lighten them up.
@@Dude0000 That guy is annoying af and the last person I'd call charismatic.
Matt is great value , well worth a look , he plays with some great pros as well.
@@Dude0000 agreed. Matt is great. Alex Elliot is a class coach too. Helped me a lot.
@@sherlockholmes60 yeah, as we say in England, he’s like Marmite. Half love it, others hate it…I get you, though, but I find him ok. He’s differant, and I appreciate that.
There is a wonderful feeling of joy, like being a kid and having total confidence in what you are being told by your grandpa or elder, sort of aura about Brad Faxon. Every word makes perfect sense, and his beautiful interaction with you as a person cannot be stressed enough. This is what teachers are like, at their best. Its what the good ones were like when i was young. I wish each of us had a Brad Faxon for every subject in school, and every new skill in life. We would be better off, as humanity.
That interaction was/is really wonderful. Goes to show you Mr. Faxon's level of experience.
He just scratches the surface of his putting knowledge. Thanks for the lesson 👏
OMG... After nearly 50 years playing off 5 handicap and below this is truly the most informative video or lesson I have seen/heard. Thanks Rick for making yourself vulnerable, and goodness how to thank Brad!
You Were always a crap Putter. Have you still got that Ping Putter. Tony Single Putt Taylor
No other huge KZhead golfer would allow an open window into their weaknesses in the game like you do. This is what separates you and what endears your audience. And it allows us to be a part of your golf journey ⛳. (which never ends!)
I disagree. Everyone I watch do more than Rick. Golf Mates, Golf Sidekick, Matt Fryer…they all do. I think Rick has done a great job of marketing himself and seams natural and approachable on camera. But he’s a driving range teaching professional, the bottom of the pro hierarchy, and would probably have a 2-4 handicap. He has to be open about his weaknesses as his peers would pillor him if he wasn’t. I could see his reverse pivot and handsy fast arms in his swing from the first few videos I saw, and his mechanical, unnatural uncomfortable putting stroke is obvious to anyone who’s played to a low single figure handicap and better for a while.
Great comments buck I agree
Was thinking the same thing. Very humble. The internet can be a cruel place, so to discuss your weakness and receive help openly is a great example to us all
I needed a putting lesson and I got one here. I going to watch this more than once and jot a few notes to do practicing.
Grow up
Am I the only one that goes for a golf lesson and feels relaxed and confident when I leave, ready to take home my new found knowledge and improve. Then when it comes to practicing the next day i've forgotten it all? Having a video like this is so good for a gentle remind when I come to practice! Thank you for uploading Rick!
Take a small notebook and pen to lesson.. Write down the drills and relevant info. Keep the notebook in your bag. Why spend $$ on golf lessons only to rely on memory to practice whats been taught? You can then refer back to it months-years late. Also good to keep written results of training games and stats to watch improvement.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
When I was a kid first getting into the game my coach had my write down the five biggest things I learned that day wasn’t just a reference but also helped me remember
Rick, this might be the most helpful and interesting video you have ever done. I really think I have learnt a lot from this and really believe I can get my putting better from this! You lucky boy to film this with Brad! Incredible!
Wow what an insight into putting. When the weather improves in Glasgow the practice putting green is getting some serious attention. Imagine a free lesson from Brad
That really threw some light on what putting is really about. Brad is both inspirational and confidence inducing. I loved it.
The best coaching I ever had was delivered with “warmth” and a human connection. Actually feeling a bit emotional watching this! Quality.
This was truly amazing, can't believe this is a free video, it is so generous of you Rick to air this for free. Brad was simply brilliant at explaining it and Rick you were such a good student I learnt so much, can't wait to try on the practice greens.
Great video Rick, Brad seems such a cool, chilled dude and both sessions were incredibly watchable. Keep it up matey, you are living the dream!
Brad is so technical yet articulate in his teaching. I think we can all take something away from this video! Fantastic work and going straight into my faves
This video is absolute gold! Thank you so much for posting it and also for being a good listener / student during this process. The back and forth you had with Brad is really excellent.
The humility and confidence this must’ve taken, is awesome Rick! So thankful for these videos!
Hands down, this is the BEST tips video you’ve ever created. This is jaw droppingly simple and great advice from Brad. A keeper forever. Well done.
This should end up being your most watched video across all your channels. it is incredible hearing Brad break putting down to make it sound so simple. Fantastic video Rick and team!
Thank you Rick! I've seen every video you've made and this has got to be the best one for helping my game. Keep up the good work
I’ll be coming back to this video time and time again. The man makes it seem so easy. Great video, looking forward to the best putting summer I’ve ever had.
That's the most engaging guest video you've done for me. He is a legend, and this is a video we'll all watch over and over. 👏👏👏
This gentleman is a legend. And I am hearing from him so many things I have heard Bob Rotella say. Those two in combo. Bingo. The best putter oat right there. I can't wait to get back outside for putting practise. Thank you Rick for letting us have these insights and thanks Brad for being a part of your putting wisdom.
Great content again Rick, Brad, brilliant lesson in what to think and do. I will watch this video many times and practise these drills and the thought process when putting
This was so awesome, thank you thank you! I learned a lot today and i been playing for over 25 years. Thank you Rick and Brad for your time
One of the keys for any teacher is to be able to communicate well to the student. A lot of instructors- of any subject- are more interested in trying to impress people with their knowledge than in actually teaching the student. Brad seems to be relatable and genuinely interested in having his pupil actually learn something and to improve. Awesome video!
That. Was. Magnificent! Brad is absolutely brilliant at what he does, and has so much passion for putting it oozes throughout the video. Rory seems to have chosen well there! I might have to watch this video on repeat a few times too, just to make sure I can remember some of the nuggets Brad fed us with throughout. 👌
Rick- thank you for this, and all your other videos. I love that you acknowledge that you are not perfect. you show us your bad shots as well as the great ones, and you are not too proud to receive instruction and recognize that your game needs improvement in certain areas. it is an inspiration. Thank you.
Fantastic Video Rick. I really appreciate the modest and open way you approached this lesson - it's made the video valuable for everyone.
That was an invaluable lesson from one of the best putters of all time. The amazing thing was how much we can all take from that even though we weren’t the ones receiving the lesson. I would also say that without even realising it I was amazed how much of that I am already doing exactly like what Brad says. Putting is the best part of my game by far and maybe this is why. So it was good to hear so much fantastic tips from Brad and that he was so willing to share this with everyone. I could also instantly see the improvement in Rick’s putting stroke once he relaxed and followed what Brad was telling him. He definitely thinks way too much while he putts and you can see it all going through his head and he talks himself out of the putt before he even hits it. I hope to see the improvement now if he can follow what Brad told him. Thanks for filming this for us all Rick, it was amazing.
This is one of your best videos ever! More of this please!
I felt my putting getting better just listening to this. This man is a treasure of knowledge
Love Brad’s clarity. Combines great purpose with great feel. I plan to watch this many times 😎
An outstanding lesson from one of the greatest putters ever. The one thing that bums me out right now is that I won't be on a practice putting green until April at the earliest. However, I have saved this video in my Golf Videos folder in the saved videos section of my KZhead channel. I will be reviewing this over and over again every chance I get, and taking notes as well.
Brad talks - to use a phrase - absolute gospel. His advice is as sage as it gets and the approach he took to assessing what your impression of the green was and how you interpret the results was just class. What a great video to share with the world. Fantastic.
This is so so good. Amazing insight from an incredible source! So cool Rick, love the vid!
He is the putting master, watched Brad for years on tour but this is gold. Putting is my nemesis and this is incredible.
Rick: I just wanted to offer you a sincere thank you for this video from the bottom of my heart! This is easily the best golf KZhead video on putting I have ever watched! I can think of no better way to describe this than to say that your interaction with Brad Faxon in this video is pure gold. I am completely wowed by this content. I have been a + 3 handicap until recently, I am now a 1 and climbing... injuries/illness. I am a +5 at putting according to ARCCOS. Even so, I have learned so, so, much from this one video! This ammounts to a free lesson with one of the all time greats, which is somehting that I will never get the chance to do in person. I can tell you with a great deal of confidence that my putting is going to get even better because of this video. Beyond that, and more importantly, I am raising 2 junior golfers who will benefit from this even more than this old, washed up, has been will. :0) Thank you so much for this video!
I think the coolest part about this lesson, is none of it was really about the actual mechanics of the golf swing. Because Rick's a pro, he knows how to hit a putt. But the sort of mental component and spending so much time about how to get to the ball and feel comfortable. Can't wait to see how this plays out in Break 75!
Absolutely fabulous video. Amazing insights from Brad. Going to take a lot of this to my own putting practise. I love the free and flowing aspect of the lesson and Brad's philosophy.
Thank you for your time, Brad and Rick! Thank you for the helpful putting tips.
As Brad calls it…the putting IQ is so important and I realise how much I’m lacking in IQ! A fantastic insight into how much work the top level golfers have to put in and how much information they have going on on a putt! Unbelievable video Rick! Excellent 👌🏻
i love brad faxon...growing up n see his putting...i hv to agree he is awesome when putting on the green when ever he played in the big tournament
Probably the best putting video I've ever seen in 25 years. Rick, brilliant getting such insights from Brad for us all to see. Brad comes across so genuine, you feel time with him is a privilege. Could listen to him all day. Good luck with your putting Rick, looked 100% better
Thanks for that Rick. What a treat to have Brad Faxon give a lesson in putting. Keep up these amazing videos. Cheers from Canada.
Another great insight and as with Claude, everything Brad says makes sense and is in a way far less mechanical and more feel and fluidity. The importance of a pre shot routine for all shots that is consistent is another key thing that you see many people don’t have and loved the tips of making that fluid also through even small movements. Two powerful lessons that must have been great to have experienced but you’ve also done a fantastic job with the team to capture them so that we can all take something away from them. Great job again 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
We r getting close to spring in the midwest
This is once again solid gold. Learned so much from this video, and can't wait for a dry day to work on my putting. Also, never knew watching another's put was bad etiquette, but there you go.
Only if you stand right behind them and watch from the line. Anywhere else off to an angle is fine.
@@BuckMcAntlerson That's what I meant. It would be silly if you had to look away lol.
exactly that's bad advice..never heard of taxon
If you blatantly walk behind the person who is putting in front you and watch/read their line that is definitely bad etiquette.
Not just bad etiquette... Illegal in competition.
Wow what a treat thank you Rick Shiels the best putting lesson I've ever seen. And to think we get to watch it over and over again. Amazing
It's great that Rick is a little stumped in responding to Brad's questions like many of us when being asked the same questions...a regular guy is Rick....thanks for letting us see this......Really great video for all of us...thanks Brad!
Thank you for being so vulnerable Rick! You make us feel good knowing even YOU don’t know it all. Keep it up!!!
Brad Faxon and Ben Crenshaw are my putting idols
and Loren Roberts - those are probably the best 3 I have seen.
This is the best video I have ever seen. What a clever man and so well articulated
Thanks so much. Informative, felt like I was having my own personal lesson. Brad seems like a warm, genuine, humble person.
Can you release the Phil Kenyan one on this channel too please?
You got a lesson in Golf, Psychology, Physics, and Biomechanics. A great lesson for us all from one of the best. Thanks Brad and Rick for sharing this video.
Thank you so much for these lessons and content! We would never have this information! Please do more like this if possible! Best golf channel without doubt all around. Can't be overstated.
That was fantastic! So enlightening. One of the best videos I have seen. Great job.
Thanks for that. Great to see especially as I start to think about getting ready for better weather!
One of my favorite videos you have ever done. Very insightful, thank you!
What do loved seeing was Rick going from KZhead superstar to student. You could see the gears turning every time Brad shared something new. Rick was like a kid in a candy store. Well done Rick! Thank you Brad.
May be one of my favorite videos in a long time. Great insight by both sides, and how an average player can improve their putting. Thank you
This has to be my favourite golf video of all time. What an amazing coach and what great advice. I can't wait for my next round and sauntering up to a 6 foot putt without a care in the world! Thanks Rick and Brad. Tremendous.
Such an interesting lesson. Love the interaction and concept of getting yourself relaxed to play better golf. 👍⛳
This is greatness. I swear what a video.. I follow you for quiet a time now and this is the best tutorial - learning - video you ever posted.
Wonderful! What a privilege to hear Brad Faxon teach - straightforward, enlightening and with the gift for making it seem obvious when you hear him. Well done Rick, one of the best videos yet…
One of your very best video’s Rick. So many good things to take from those exercises!
Thank you Rick and Brad, what a video, what a lesson. This is the most informative video you’ve ever made. Thanks again
Brad's depth of knowledge is insane. I love that he is able to communicate both the technical and intuitive sides of putting so well. You can also tell he is a golf nerd and loves this game. His media training/expt as a golf analyst also shines through is his ability to communicate with both Rick and the audience.
Rick, you have given us all access to a really grown-up putting lesson. Thank you for making this vid - Brad makes such good sense and is a shrewd analyser. I'm going to measure my putter tomorrow morning - I'm pretty sure its too long.
Most informative KZhead video I have ever watched. I will rewatch this multiple times throughout the golf season. Thanks Rick, keep it up.
Brilliant video Rick, fantastic instruction from Brad, really enjoyed your interaction and will definitely be trying some of Brad's tips. Maybe the best video you have done!
Outstanding video Rick…everything Brad said makes sense as it relates to my own putting. Looking forward to taking it to the practice green very soon. Thank you!
Thank you Rick for putting up this lesson. Mr. Faxon is a wizard and a scientist all rolled into one, truly inspiring.
Brilliant Rick. Best thing you’ve ever done and I’ve seen all your stuff. World class in terms of helpful content
That was so informative and straightforward. Excellent work, this is one I will watch over again. 👍
Amazing information. Thank you both so much for taking the time to share such game changing advice. This needs to be archived, rewatched, treasured, and put into play so we become better at the most challenging part of golf. The lesson was much more than a simple lecture. Homework was given to every single player watching on how to improve our individual approach to putting. Incredible!
the amount of things I learned from a 30 min lesson... thanks rick for your continued supporting content.
Best putting lesson ever. Thank you Rick and Brad.
OMG FINALLY! Brad huge respect. Answers so many questions with clarity and just makes me want to get to the green and practice.
Outstanding video. Amazing how much info can be dropped in such a short period of time. I’m going to watch this several times. Thanks.
My putting has improved the last year. This awesome lesson confirms what I have done to improve and a few more items to take to the practice green. What a gem of a lesson. Thank you Rick and Brad!
This is 40 mins of solid gold. What a knowledgeable gentleman Mr Faxon is. Thank you both
Rick! I have to say that out of all your videos I think this one is the best. I love how Brad explains things, easy to understand. Thanks so much for posting this one. Cheers!
RICK! I love your videos but this one is BY FAR, the most interesting and educational of all!!! Congratulations and thank you very very much for sharing with us!!
Wonderful. I always forget that putting can be improved in so many different ways .. some technical, some mental, some physical, etc. Brad seems like such a nice guy to be around.
This is so good!! Thank you Rick and Brad.
Faxon is pure class. Great video Rick and your respect and reverence for his experience and knowledge was conveyed perfectly. Some great mental approach tips we can all use in this one.
These lessons are incredible. Super informative and authentic. Thank you.
Rick what a great video. Both educational and entertaining. I could relate to everything Brad was saying. I am going to watch this video over and over. Thanks!
Honestly, this is the best putting video I've ever watched. I've just saved huge money but more importantly, learned a lot about the approach to putting. This can help so many people. Thanks for being the test subject Rick! I got the same feeling as that time you gave EAL a swing lesson. Thanks!
Absolute priceless information, so happy to watch!! Going to rewatch this
I really like the gentle way in which Brad shared his knowledge of dos and don’ts with Rick. I loved the screen shot of Guy’s face in one of Ricks fluffy putts. I really laughed with you 😂. I like Brad’s philosophy on thinking about my putting. Very worthwhile watch.
I am definitely saving these 2 lessons from your Florida trip. I think both would be great to come back to every couple weeks. What a treat to hear how that caliber of a teacher approaches the game.
Hands down the best putting instructional video I’ve seen. To gain the insight and expertise of the best putting coach in the world (for free) is really special. Nice work Rick!
This and the episode with Harmon truly made me feel like I was taking the lesson myself. I love this videos. They are up there with golf bidder and break 75
Wow, what a treat! Thank you Rick (and Brad) for this gem👍🏽
THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST VIDEO YOU EVER POSTED. this might be the best golf lesson I’ve ever seen online or in person. Best putting lesson online ever
