Popular Post cnosil Posted May 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2020 54 minutes ago, TimoTe said: Wondering if you putt with your eyes directly over the ball or if you are away from the ball? I've tried both. Over the ball seems to be more hunched requiring me to raise the grip at address for a good swing. Away from the ball allows a more upright stance which forces me to not look at the cup but a short distance in front of the ball. If you are raising the grip then the putter isn't correctly fit. You can be eyes over the ball and not be hunched over. 11 minutes ago, Tsmithjr9 said: It's going to be tough being a good putter if your eyes aren't over the ball 100% incorrect statement. It may be what works for you. Eyes over the ball is a choice you make and if you look at "good" putters you will see they have different postures, ball placements, and eye position.

PlaidJacket Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 37 minutes ago, Tsmithjr9 said: It's going to be tough being a good putter if your eyes aren't over the ball Wrong. I do putt with my eyes over the ball and with a slightly open stance. I'm a good putter. I also pay play regularly with a friend who has a most unusual putting style - eyes everywhere but over the ball. I don't even like watching him setup and such. But... he's a great putter. Like most of us know.... nothing matters except that split-second moment of truth with each stroke and with any club.

Watch the txg putter fitting video with Gareth Raflewski. Mat actually saw the line better when he was slightly inside. A while back I saw a video that Seemore did about that. To be fair, there was a time when I stood with my eyes over the ball because thats what used to be taught. It was believed that by having your eyes over the ball, you could use your mind to draw a line from the ball to the hole. The only problem is that unless you stand directly over the ball and your sightlight is at a 90 degree angle to the ground, when you turn your head to look at the hole, you cant draw a straight line from the ball to the hole. It makes sense when you think about it. I saw an episode of Playing Lessons With The Pros with Rory a while back where he showed that he trains with a putting mirror in order to ensure that he is just inside the ball.

Actually quite a few great putters have their eyes inside the ball, especially those with a gate stroke. Putting is the strongest part of my game and the main reason I play to a + index and my eyes are about 2" inside the ball. I have a pretty heavy gate stroke so I cannot see the line with my eyes over the ball. Everyone is different of course and more will putt better with their eyes directly over the ball, but when I gave a free short game lesson with a 5 lesson package, I found about 25% putted better with their eyes inside the ball. And for those that do putt better with their eyes inside the ball it is a real eye opener, if you will excuse the bad pun. They instantly started putting better. Imo Feel Putters do better with their eyes inside and technical putters do better with their eyes one the ball. Obviously not a hard and fast rule but something I found to be more true than not. ... I think the interesting part is every putt is a straight putt and every stroke should be the same no matter how straight or how much break, with the only variance being length of stroke. The only difference in a normal putting stroke is better putters will often hit the ball on the toe on very fast downhill putts. But so many poor putters will try and" putt the break" like pushing a right to left and pulling a left to right putt. So it isn't the stroke as much as it is the read, then trusting that read and your stroke. JohnSmalls, Hotdocta, Golfspy_CG2 and 2 others 5 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

RobotDoctor Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I prefer my dominant eye (left) to be slightly behind the ball when I putt because I get a better feel of the line I am putting on.

Golfspy_CG2 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Putting has been the best part of my game for about 3 or 4 years now. It's the part I work on the most, so no coincidence there I was fit by the Tour fitter at PING last year, my eyes were slightly inside the ball, and he was fine with that, as I appeared to see the line very well. He was mostly concerned with getting the correct loft and life and proper toe hang for my stroke. We ended up with the Tyne 4, which was very similar to the Scotty Cameron #7 I had been using for 3 years. coincidentally I as in a major retailer during the summer messing around with putters, when he fitter there offered to give me a free fitting. He put me on their machine that took video's from in front and above you. He focused solely on me getting my eyes over the ball, saying "that was the essential" to being a good putter. He did the old drop a ball from your eye test as well. I indulged him for a few moments and then politely moved on. chisag, JohnSmalls, PMookie and 4 others 7 Quote G430 Max 10K TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM10 48F/54M and58K S159 48S/52S/56W/60B Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard for me to say if it really changes on the course or not, but when I setup using my Eyeline putting mirror I've noticed that my eyes are actually outside of the ball. I never feel quite comfortable with my setup when using the mirror so I suppose it's possible that my eyes are normally more over it, but having my eyes on the inside of the ball definitely feels weird. Funny enough, I used to game 34" & 35" putters and routinely miss right. When I switched to a 33" putter to feel like I was more over the ball, I started finding the cup more. Like I said above, do what works for you.
