Collin Morikawa setting coach says all big putters do it

Technology advances have revolutionized the way we practice and play golf. Data-driven mirrors allow instructors and players to disrupt every aspect of the game in excellent details-which has resulted in some interesting findings.

The concepts of guidelines that were once considered fundamental are now being reconsidered and updated, thanks to innovation such as boot monitors, pressure plates, 3D analysis and more. An excellent example of this is the release in the hitting.

On a recent Instagram posted by Top 100 Golf teacher Chris Como, Stephen Sweeney, Top Putting Coach for Tournament Players like Collin Morikawa AND Shane LowryExplains that many instructors and amateurs believe that the toe must pass the heel in the stroke.

“This is the kind of myth that has been for a long time,” Sweeney says.

Sweeney explains that it is a concept that happened when we could only analyze the 2D camera hitting from a face corner-gave Putter a look of a more horizontal release pattern.

These old placement ratings showed that when the players turned back, she was naked and gave her the look that the toe was going after the holders. As they reached the impact, Sweeney explains that Putter was re-struck, which made him look like his toe and heel were being clarified.

“And then, while adding Loft to the putter, it appeared, from a 2D camera, that the toe passed the heel,” Sweeney says.

Thanks to technology advances, we now have a better understanding of what is actually happening during the stroke – and which key elements to imitate some of the best golf locals such as Tiger Woods.

Sweeney explains that it is not about rotating but vertical release.

Instead of striving for a more horizontal movement, around the body, players must think of letting their hands stand naturally through the stroke.

“So understanding how the putter is released properly and the angle of the control shaft will actually help control the club and control this model of release,” Sweeney says.
