If you want to improve your stroke and putt, then arm lock is something that you have to incorporate into your stroke. Arm lock is where you interlock your palms and your wrists are locked together. If you have done some arm-lock practice and feel that you can get it down, then you will be fine. However, arm lock is not recommended for novices.
It’s hard to explain, but basically it means that when you release the putter from your body, your forearms will not move. This should be done slowly, or at a crawl. Some people make a “come here” motion with their forearms while they are releasing the putter. What you’re trying to do is create an energy between your hands and your strokes. Your strokes should have power coming from your legs and not from your arms. For upper arm putts, this means flexing your upper arm and not locking your hands.
When I talk about a “come here” motion, I’m talking about flexing your arm. You should never lock your hands when putting. To improve your putting style, you have to learn to release the putter with the power from your legs instead of your arms. When you learn this new putting style, your putting game will improve greatly. As you improve, your strokes will also improve.
You can start putting like this with a relatively easy lesson. If you’re just starting out, or are still using a very heavy putter, you should still use your weight to get your feet moving. Use your belly putter for long putts and your long irons for short putts. As you master this new way of putting, you can move on to other types of golf clubs.
The reason that you shouldn’t lock your hands on shorter putts is because you have a longer shaft and a stronger grip. This means that you can exert more energy into each stroke. So instead of releasing the putter slowly with your hands, force it to come to a stop faster by exerting more energy. This will help you generate more speed, distance, and power with each stroke.
Your putting technique needs to be correct if you want to succeed at this game. There are several errors that I’ve seen people make that hinder their putting stroke greatly. One of the most common errors is holding the putter grip too tight. I recommend holding the putter grip about two inches from your body with your fingertips turned down and your forearms about a quarter inch apart. By doing this, you’ll be able to relax your forearms, which will allow you to use more energy when executing the stroke correctly.
One other mistake that many people make with their putting stroke is holding the putter grip too tightly. To execute this perfect putting technique, your hands should be roughly an arm’s width apart. This will allow you to have more room to execute a better backstroke. If you’re struggling with this aspect, I recommend using an anchor point, such as your pinky finger. By using this anchor point, you’ll be able to relax your forearms and relax your hands, which will give you the best possible putting stroke.
Finally, one other error that I see people making is holding the putter too tightly. To do this perfect stroke, your body weight needs to be on your toes. When you’re holding the putter too tightly, you’re not allowing your body to release the putter. When you do this, you can cause your putter to break very easily, because your body won’t be able to let go of the putter. To execute this technique correctly, you need to lower your body gradually, while rotating your wrist outward.
