Hi, Dan Grieve here, Head Professional of Web & Golf Club, talking about putting arcs.
00:08
It's a question I get asked a lot, should I have a slight arc or should I go straight back,
00:13
straight through, or should I have a slightly more exaggerated arc? And really there is no
00:17
answer to that. It's not that one is better than another. We've all got our slight tendencies,
00:22
some will be straighter, some will be more in-to-in. But it's important you don't get
00:27
too far outside the line or too far in. So for example, I put the string here just to give you
00:32
a nice visual of where straight is. So if I was to go down a string, I would have a perfectly straight
00:37
to straight stroke, which really, once you start hitting it more than a couple of inches, it's
00:41
very difficult to have a straight to straight stroke. You need to start coming in at some point.
00:46
So if your stroke is going out here, that obviously is outside the line, okay, you're going to tend to
00:51
pull your putts. If your putter starts coming in way too much on the inside, again, you're going to
00:56
have a job trying to square that face up. So a slight arc is nice. Okay, even a little bit more
01:03
is fine like that, but let's not bring it round too much or have it going outside the line too much.
01:08
So my stroke is a little bit more in-to-in. So you'll see my stroke coming slightly inside.
01:12
I've got the string down here. That gives me a little bit of a guide as to how much I'm coming in.
01:19
And let's make sure as well that we really do match the style of stroke that you have to the putter
01:25
you use. So this is a heel balance putter. That means the toe is hanging down. The toe
01:30
releasing this way is going to help me square the putter up. If I was to use a face balance
01:34
putter with my stroke, I would tend to push the putts because face balance putters do not want
01:39
to swing as much in the toe. So there's no right or wrong. You've got out there and do a bit of
01:43
practice yourself and find out which putter suits you best depending on your arc.
