BCases Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Anyone else having problems with the Armlock grip not staying attached to the left arm during the entire stroke. The butt end of the grip is usually about 1" off of my forearm after the putt. Anyone else having this problem ? Any fixes or drills ? Thanks Quote SjW Link to comment
RickyBobby_PR Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Guessing you are getting to much wrist extension in your stroke. Keep the wrist set where they are at address and use shoulders, arms to move the putter BCases 1 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment

cnosil Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 39 minutes ago, BCases said: How do you eliminate wrist extension in the stroke ? I feel like I am rocking my shoulders. Seems like you need to focus on bowing the lead wrist to hold the grip against forearm. I have played around with armlock putting and my experiments indicated I needed to power the stroke with my leg (lead) arm to avoid wrist breakdown.

I've dabbled in armlock putting myself and have encountered a similar issue. It sounds like you might be engaging your wrists too much during the stroke. Try focusing on keeping your lead arm and putter as one unit, and use your shoulders to drive the stroke. Practicing with a towel or glove tucked under your lead arm can also help reinforce that connection. Hope this tip helps. Keep grinding and good luck on the greens! Cheers, Muneer Quote Link to comment
Billy MacGregor Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I started using armlock last year and had the same problem. You really have to focus on "pulling" the putter with your left arm. Try using the claw grip with your right hand similar to Zalatoris. It helped me.

Oudefart Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Not saying you I don’t have one, because I don’t know. That said, get a wrist lock putter. One that is actually designed to be one. Where I work, I see WAY too many people bring in conventional putters and try to have me build it to a arm lock, either by throwing a SS arm lock grip on there, or by extending and same. It’s all make shift and seems destined to not work. Altering your own conventional putter just changes too many variables that have to be accounted for: (balance, lie angle, proper length, head weight relation, etc.) Just a thought.

Mcdgolfsalot Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Try a wrist band around the top of the grip and your forearm. This will keep the grip locked in while practicing and force a proper armlock stroke. Will feel really awkward initially but will help the correct stroke Quote Ping g430 10.5 hzrds 6.5 titliest 4 wd and 3 hybrid cobra forged tec 5-p vokey sm7 52 56 60 Link to comment
Girldad18 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 If you haven't seen it yet, the LeanLock putting system is a different type of arm lock. It sets the grip on the outside of your leading arm. We did a testing recently of their products and it works. I am not an arm lock putter but was selected and this works. Great confidence. Virtually impossible to break your wrists. It is awkward to begin with, but it works. Check the testing and reviews for this.
