Welcome back to Golf is Hard TV, Golf Show for the rest of us. And we're going to do a little bit of a review of earlier episodes. We're hear in the Heavy Putter Studio and I have a Mid-Weight Heavy Putter, new model this year as you heard Steven talking about on prior episode.
So the concept of this piece of equipment really appeals to me and the things that we've talked about and really what it comes down to is making a consistent stroke using as few of the small muscles as possible. And this again really does promote this and this is about one-and-a-half to two times the weight of an average putter. That's alright guys.
Male Speaker: That one right there is about one-and-half.
Male Speaker: So one and a half times and what that does it helps promote-- you may remember it helps promote a putting stroke that you can say is all in one piece. You can basically see that from the putter head to my shoulders, it's one motion. There is just one lever moving.
Now we've talked about the different levers that we see in average golfers. So we watched Marc's putting stroke improved dramatically which is outstanding. I like to take a whole credit for that to just great coaching, but, Marc is an athlete so and you all are too, you're much better athletes than you think so give yourself credit out there first all, but second of all, what we see on an average, we'll see the knees moving, we see the wrist moving and there is just too much going on out there with the average golfer, with the average putter.
So now we take the concept of the heavy putter and in this case the Mid-Weight and by the way this one just happens to be the model John daily uses. He finished second recently, out in Italy, he had a great term and he has come back playing the US soon. So now I can usually stroke it putter, probably little better than John, so you are going to see some good result here with this putt, I'm just kidding, his out there making millions on that, but anyway. So let's take a look at how this really works.
So, well I guess, that will be up to you to determine how well it really works but what we want to do again, we got a hole right here, it's about 5-6 feet away. I'm going to take couple of strokes the way the average golfer would usually stroke this and even though it's a shorter putter or a shorter pipe. You can see that thing rifle pass the hole and I have my knees going in there and I had the wrist working and let's try that again. Try again, kind of the average way that most players would putt this, they get over that ball and they get all the kinds of things going on. I got lucky and that one went in.
Now let's compare that to the way a stroke should look and it's the type of stroke that you'll typically see on TV. The folks are trying to make a living playing this game. This is really what it comes down to, they all strike the ball pretty well, they get it on the green regulation, and it's a matter of getting the ball in a hole to make the money really. If you are out there just playing an average, I want to putt well, I can really feel the weight in this putter. It really is incredible, it really helps promote that one lever motion that we were talking about now.
Now where do I try to concentrate on or do mechanically? when I'm practicing, I want to keep a little bit of weight towards the hole, it just anchors my weight, it stays here, my body is dead still from the waist down, very, very important. So my little bit of weight towards the hole, my body is dead still from the waist down. Now you can see, I have a nice anchor. I'm not adding any element of distance to the stroke when I do that.
So I've got a nice lower body and I've got my shoulders, arms, hands, putter, all working together as one and it's much more simple not to control the distance. And you could see that was a much better result than using my knees and hands.
Okay, so one more time all, one simple motion and there it is, much better distance. So what it comes down to is one lever, shoulders, arms, hands, putter all one piece and make that stroke eliminate the knees and the wrist and you're going to be right on track to improving your putter.
