We greatly
prefer that you putt using with the regular
Symple Putting method. AS LONG AS YOU'RE DOING
WELL WITH SYMPLE PUTTING YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T
EVEN READ THE REST OF THIS TIP.
However we realize that some people prefer a
different method of Symple Putting. This is one
of those methods that people have come up while
experimenting with Symple Putting. It is called
"right side hinging". This is an alternative
method of Symple Putting. It is NOT a
recommended method, it is an alternative
method.
Tip for the Right
Side Putting (Right Side
Hinging)
Some golfers prefer to
open their stance and hinge the putter on their
right side. This can works well for some
people. For others it's uncomfortable. Whether
it is because you see the line better (right
eye dominant) or because you right hand will
not allow you any other way to putt, we have
developed a method so you too can Symple Putt
with our putter.
To do this you take your
'normal' open stance. Still make sure your
feet, hips and shoulders are all on the same
line meaning all being open (this is preferred
as it will make you more consistent if you
check this and do it every
time)
To Symple Putt with an
Open Stance you will hinge with your right arm
and elbow (as a right handed putter) on your
right side.
- Establish your normal
open stance but keep feet, hips and
shoulders all parallel (consistent set up
is still key to any putting method) with
same posture. Eyes or right eye should
'see' the line.
- Ball
Position is directly down from right hand.
Position in relation to foot will be
different to each person depending on
degree of open stance. But establish where
it is for you and make it the same each
time that is ball is directly off little
toe of right foot or even with mid point of
shoe etc.
- Hinge
your RIGHT ARM against hip,
thigh, ribs depending on body type and
comfort level. Work on making the same
hinge point each time as to develop the
consistency desired for creating the same
stroke each time. Keep your left arm also
'in' against your ribs, thigh or hip
depending on body type and preference. Make
the Symple Putting Method as error free as
possible by locking down all moving parts
and making the only moving parts hands that
are holding the club with the right wrist
the power source.
-
Right
hand ie wrist does all the work as per
the stroke. The left hand is to be used
for control of the putter face keeping
it square to the arc. Again right hand
does the work of powering the stroke
while the left hand is responsible for
keeping the club face square.
Remember head still, knees still,
shoulders still, no weight shift or
movement. etc.
