THE SPINAL ROTATION
The simple fact that our arms are attached to our body makes it almost impossible for an arc to be avoided. For years golfers have tried to perfect a “straight back & straight forward” robotic approach to putting. The results suggest this art is yet to be perfected amongst most golfers. Our new putting stroke revolves around the spine. Our spine is stationary so lets use this as an anchor is our simple, consistent stroke.
THE VIEW POINT
All day everyday we look at the world with the top of our head facing the sky. This is the way we practice using our eyes. Yet suddenly when we want to hole a putt in our Sunday medal we decide the best way to evaluate this view is with the top of our head facing forwards. By moving our ball position further away and lengthen-ing the shaft we find ourselves in a more natural position evaluation the putt using a skill we practice subconsciously all day every day.
THEN CONFIDENCE & STRESS MANAGEMENT
FGX Sports are promoting a swing with less moving parts than a traditional putting stroke. The outcome of this is a reduction in margin for human error. Humans are not robots, we can’t perfectly replicate our movements. By reducing the number of things we have to focus on when standing over a putt re-moves an element of stress. We have all done it. We are standing over a putt in our monthly medal thinking “straight back & straight forward = zero face to path = straight shot = victory” then push the putt out to the right. An arc is natural let not fight it but maximize its potentials.
