Moving Your Body to Putt
Body putting is a stroke which has been gaining some steam recently. At a forum one time, I read a post explaining body putting. Basically this stroke uses the massive muscles of your body while keeping your arms and hands quiet. The end of the club would extend towards the belly button or extraordinarily close to it and the position of the ball would go one in. forward from the middle of your stance. The trail of the stroke would follow the body so it will not be close to a straight back and straight through sort of motion. The putter's arm should then be locked firmly against the torso.
The guide on the length of the putter was found that a 6 foot tall person would typically need a 46 inch putter, however in able to absolutely use the body putting stroke, you need to get properly fitted to the proper length of the club for your body type.
When putting you want to use your body to turn, and the shoulders and wrists may not be used in any way.
The distance control is one of the key issues when using this stroke as it is very difficult to develop any touch on the green. This is why a tour professional often never uses this kind of methodology.
The putting tips we have on our site advocates you to keep your body really quiet from the hips down to your feet. There shouldn't be any body movement when putting. Swing the putter to your shoulders like a pendulum. The method properly states keeping your wrists out of the stroke as much as practicable, but this strategy would not be actually effective if you would like to cut back on your 3-putting.
So if you hear anybody advocate body putting out on the course pay no attention to them. There aren't any magic techniques that a pro golfer wouldn't try. If it worked you would see players on the Tour using it and body putting most definitely isn't something you may see with a professional player.
