Day 21: Gaining Extension With Your Putt | Gatekeeper Media's New Year's Resolutions

Video Transcript

welcome back to january 21st on gatekeeper media's new year's resolutions today we're going to talk about putting kind of the same way that we did on day eight when we were looking at obstructed putts that made you put high or low or through something we're going to adjust that so that today we are getting extension to the left and to the right so find a green that makes you get some extension just some trees around that are within the circle of the basket is plenty and grab a stack of putters so that you can do some reps without having to go chase them so set up a lie that makes you take a knee to either side of an obstacle for example this tree is inside the circle and i'm gonna just like imagine that it's much bigger i find that taking a knee allows my base my my legs and hips to be more stable and rather than like trying to go too too far with a straddle putt i can get a little bit more extension by being on a knee so this is my lie and this is the obstacle that i'm trying to avoid i'm going to get down in my kneeling stance close my eyes that will help me find my balance and focus on my hips and my core you're going to have to adjust your normal putt a little bit but keep your arm on line with the pole so that you can get a swing that really only goes straight at it if you miss it's going to be high or low rather than left or right going to the other side can be a little bit more challenging i find that straddling or kneeling to my non-throwing arm i can't quite go as far and i'm a little more off balance so do that same thing where you focus on your your core and your hips and you close your eyes to find your balance and keep your swing on line with the pulp you can use these big muscles to generate the power and let your arm just finish the swing so now if i'm stuck in a mess and there's a bunch of things around me and i can get this extension to find a good window i might not be able to use...
