Matt Kuchar's Armlock Putting Style (Videos)

I know a lot of you are curious about the Kuchar Technique, so here are two motion pictures about it. Matt's been placing this manner since around 2011, so the primary video is from 2013 and the second one from a mere 4 months in the past.

In this first video Matt indicates his simple approach. Note that the grip handiest extends midway up his lead forearm and that in any other case his grip looks pretty ordinary. He does not use his trailing hand to maintain the butt quit of the shaft towards his forearm; as a substitute, he recommends putting with your lead hand on my own to study the method.

His stance is a touch open -- he says it allows him see the road better -- his elbows are held close to his body and from there he just rocks his shoulders. The attitude in his trailing wrist remains quite strong. As he places it, there is no longer a whole lot taking place in terms of motion.

In the second video -- which is five years later -- he talks approximately the tweaks he's made to his equipment and approach to nice-music it.

Over that five yr length he says he is changed the period and the loft of his putter slightly, to match the amount of forward press (or, if you choose, ahead lean) he uses. Note that he says the loft adjustment changed into made simply through trial and errors; you'll possibly need extra loft than Matt uses until you play professional course setups all the time.

By the same token, he has performed along with his ball function for the identical purpose -- off his the front foot for much less ahead lean, center of his stance for greater forward lean.

And notice that he says that comfort is the number one attention for him.

The most effective factor I might upload is that it looks as if the butt quit of the putter is, as you look down on your address function, touching extra on the bottom of your forearm than centered on the facet of it. Again, it really is likely a part of the comfort factor he mentions, as I think you'd must bend your lead wrist unnaturally to center it.

And it truly is it. It's short and sweet, but the method is not complicated at all.
