I am a retired PGA professional, this video is undoubtedly the best on YouTube. I remember when I was taught, that the eyes must be over the ball, wrong. As mentioned, with the eyes over the ball, will cause a loss of line perspective.

[trevyt]

Amazing... I did this on my putting mat at home. What an immediate improvement. I have been working so hard on getting my eyes over the ball and I feel like I am just missing so many putts that should go in. This was almost an immediate fix!

Ive never believed in the classic putting instruction and avoided all tuition trusting my eyes and feel, this right here is a game changer for me, this one lesson has basically given me the answers to so many questions ive had and a solid base for all my putting .
I dont use an intermediate target or line on the ball, but the very concept of lining my sight and set up so i can see the putt is the missing piece that has evaporated on my off days that i couldnt find because i hadnt identified it .
Big thanks 👍

[GeorgeMadden]

Geez.. I stopped using the line on the ball because my eyes saw 2 different lines (Behind the ball setting the ball down and when i got ready to putt). I can kick myself never thinking about moving my feet. I always thought EYES ABOVE THE BALL was a MUST! Can't wait to try this - thanks so much for this....

[davecopah]

This makes perfect sense! I’ve spent years keeping my eyes over the target line, and it’s NEVER felt comfy. Mike just set me free. Thank you, sir!!

Hey Mike, I’m a teaching pro from Philly. Just to add a thought if I may. Your head is not parallel to the ground. Therefore you can not have the ball directly under your eyes. You hit the nail in the head when you said that Nicklaus “TUCKS HIS CHIN”! Thereby putting his eyes on the same plane. It’s not your eyes that change everyday it’s how much you bend at the waist and how much bend your neck. Having said that, because you can never be consistent with these things on a daily basis, the method you describe here is genius in negotiating that last little bit of accuracy that you need for a hike that is way too small for the general public. 😂. Great video.

I just want you to know, I watch this every few weeks.. it's GOLD.

[mikefixac]

Pure gold. I'm a right handed golfer, but left eye dominant. Since I've learned this with Mike, I find that when I'm standing to the ball while putting, I'm more inside and way more behind. Making way more putts. Mike Malaska is the best.

[paullawless]

Watched this video and just shot a course record, 1 putted every green .... I missed every putt but told myself it didnt matter cause I hit it great and online!

[Flyingtwiglet]

This works for me too. After ball alignment and set up, I look at the hole rather than the ball. I find muscle memory is enough to hit the ball straight, looking at the hole helps me judge pace better and keeps my stroke on line. It's not the way most people are taught but it works for me.

[mansoolee]

I finally can see the straight line between the ball and hole. Before, I was blind when I was doing any putting. After seeing line, I can putt right speed with very accurate direction. Thank you for great information of putting Mr. Malaska.

[sensibleblue]

We all have a dominant eye. Find out which yours is ( lots on YouTube to tell you how) and then close you weaker eye when lining up. Really helped me fix this problem.

[patricknash]

Just been out to play golf trying this method, it really works! I was so much more comfortable over putts and putts were on line.

[steelblue]

Mike, something I was down years ago and works well for me. Find the line, setup, follow the line with your eyes to the hole, back to the ball and again back to the ball. Now putt it with out looking at the ball. You trust your mind and your line. Just reminded me of some of what you said.

[darrellshort]

Glad to see I'm not the only one that my eyes do not agree/TRUST the putting line and causes a conflict with my stroke... I use the line on the ball and trust this line from behind and it looks good until address. I know the line is good, so I force myself to stroke to this line (but not with 100% commitment) even though it doesn't look right to my eyes. However, I do sometimes tweak the path or decelerate the putter because I'm not confident. From now on, I will try and move around until the ball line and my eyes see the same line... Another key point you made is when you said the eyes change everyday (Ding, Ding, Ding!)... This makes so much sense to me, by not making adjustments in the set up for the eyes creates the streaky good/bad putter because most of us operate on the theory; it worked yesterday, why isn't working today?... Sorry for being so long winded but this also made putting practice very frustrating because I wasn't making the correct adjustment for my eyes, so I basically skipped putting practice and took my chances on the green during the round.... Basically I thought it was something I was going to have to live with because I was left eye dominate or something to that effect... I'll let you know how I make out... Thanks... Great Post!...

[ChrisRumin]

I love this video. Mike is excellent as always. I really like what they are talking about around the 11 min mark about what success in putting - and it’s not whether putt is made.

[lets_go_brandon_lee_]

This concept has changed my game more than anything over the last 30 years I’ve played this game! Thank you Mike and BBG for allowing the public to see this for free🙏🏼

[johnharrison]

this is the best putting video I've ever seen.

[emmathebffronniered]

Thank you Mike! I stuck to this change and had my 2nd best round in AZ ever today from making this change. Shot 69 at ocotillo today with 11 greens and 24 putts. By making this change I now focus on speed only now and not direction. Big thank you!

[denischiasson]

I have only watched 2 of your videos (one on putting and one on chipping). I am subscribed to others teachers on you tube and I appreciate their knowledge and time to make their videos. For me in my golf evolution Your videos are simply the best ones I have ever watched. I am excited to try these out. Thanks very much!!😎😎😎
