Putting · Feel

Lock the lower body and rock the shoulders to putt

For a stable putting stroke, the instructor's feel is that the lower body from the hips to the feet is encased in concrete and rock solid with no movement, while from the waist up the arms hang softly and stay looser. To train the shoulder-driven rocking motion, he puts his palms together and makes the stroke action with no movement in the hips, so the stroke rocks from the shoulders rather than the hands.
