Yes, this works. I actually took the putter grip off my mallet putter and installed an oversized golf pride tour wrap round grip that you install on a regular club instead. This allows me to put my hands in whatever position that feels the most comfortable without any flat spot trying to influence the position of the fingers or thumbs. I notice that your left thumb is on the side of the grip touching the edge of the flat part. I would rather it be resting on the smooth part of the round grip. Thanks for the upload.

Todd, I watched this video several weeks ago and I have to thank you and Corey. Due to arthritis like symptoms in the elbows, keeping the putter face square has been a challenge. Last year I switched to a claw grip with the right hand and that was very helpful but adding the open left hand this spring has been a game changer. The putter doesn’t rotate at all and it takes no effort to keep it square and on line. Feeling confident over a straight putt, even at 10 - 20 feet, is a great feeling and a very nice change. Thanks very much.

What you have just described is why "cross-handed or left hand low" putting works so well and has been adopted by so many touring pros. Can you say Jordan Spieth? The left wrist is extended and flat so there is no wrist movement whatsoever. Also, both palms face each other which favors a straight line motion. I have over 60 putters. One group are hickory-shafted and the other are more modern putters- many are models that have been used to win major tournaments including a 1968 Bullseye. Johnny Miller used one like this to shoot a 63 and win the 1973 US Open. Still a great putter and being two-sided (legal) also useful for hitting left-handed escape shots.

Yes I have used a bullseye putter. Still have it and use it occasionally on really fast greens. It was my first putter.

I putt like this, , , a while back I figured out that I putt most consistent with a very weak left hand. Now it makes sense!!

I love the feel of keeping my lead hand in this way... South Africa, Cape Town 🏌️‍♀️⛳

New Brunswick Canada. I use to be a very good putter consistent and always around the hole then something happened and I developed a case of the yips. Struggled with putting the last 4 years but last year new Cleveland putter and a better thought process really helped my game. Excellent tip thanks.

I just sent this to my JV golf team members so they see what I have been saying them after every practice round and match they have gone through this season. Thanks. From Hollis, NH.

It's winter here in Montreal so I've only tried this indoor, but it seems to give me more control. At 73 years young, I think this method should help me in the spring when golf starts here.

John here from Michigan. 66 years old and don't have any problems on the greens, thankfully. Been using the same putter for around 40 years. Replaced the grip last year for the first time. I very, very seldom three putt. I am a high handicap but it's because I have a hard time getting distance off the tee, which leaves a long iron or wood for my second shot. That's where my problem lies

[johnnymac]

A bullsey was the first putter I ever had, and I used it from the time I started at 12 till well into my 30's. I'm a transplanted Texan living in Germany.

Fantastic tip! Man what a great player he was back in the day! From Kentucky

[markludwiczak]

Amherst have knocked some strokes off with your putting tips ! Thanks Mark

[donbustos]

Thank you Todd...this tip really helped me out a lot!!! Really feels good with lots of control.

[tombrown]

I put a Garsen grip on my putter which put your hands in this position, improved my putting immediately!

[jameslong]

The first club I ever bought was a Bullseye putter, purchased when I was 16 years old, many decades ago!

[johnlaroche]

Hi, John from Reading Pa. Have been struggling with my putting what seems like forever. I will try this weak left hand method and see how it works. Thanks for the tip. Good golf everyone.

[cheriemonson]

This is how I’ve always putted. Maybe, that’s why I’ve always been a decent putter. I don’t remember who taught me, but it was probably someone I took lessons from when I decided to start playing golf at 25 (35 years ago). I live in Minnesota.

I used an old Bulleyes Flange sometimes a Bullseye lafemme. PHX, AZ

[simpliberal]

i already do this naturally. i always thought it was wrong compared to tigers grip (neutral lead hand). whenever i tried to make my lead hand a bit stronger, i feel like i can’t rotate/arc the putter face going back, so it always feels like im hitting the ball with a closed clubface. good reassurance for me with this video
