We encourage you to visit the Frogger YouTube library, where we have dozens of great golf instructional videos. We love helping you enjoy the game not only through our great golf accessories, but also via some useful and simple, free golf instruction. Our pro Kris Moe does a great job of putting together short and sweet golf tips and exercises which are easy to implement and can make a huge difference in your scores.
Today’s tip is a very simple, yet much overlooked concept in putting. We are talking about the “pendulum” motion. What is a pendulum? The best example would be the bob or part of the grandfather clock which swings back and forth. Try to imagine your arms and shoulders moving as one piece, with the same motion and tempo as that pendulum in a grandfather clock.
The shoulders, arms, and hands all move as one and there are no individual movements. The wrists don’t break. The elbows do not break. The whole “triangle” moves as one unit. That single moving unit rotates around a centerpoint in the middle of the upper chest, or perhaps around the neck or chin.
As Kris mentions in the video, practicing this pendulum stroke can be done with or without the putter. So the next time you’re waiting for your computer to update or perhaps waiting at the bus stop, work on your pendulum stroke!
