They are a form of "intention (or intentional) tremor." Try googling it for more information.Doc Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06191184359899995112[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347482.post-37500379134648403072007-09-23T07:26:00.000-07:002007-09-23T07:26:00.000-07:00Putting is such a personal thing....nothing matters if you can get it down. I went to a long putter simply out of the need to relieve back pain caused by putting for more than 5 minutes. I have never had such a huge positive impact with any part of my game as when I went to a 51" long putter. Once you get the lag putts down with it(loss of touch for me) it's a blast....for me anyway. I used to have 4-5 three puts a round and now I can go several rounds w/o one.Anonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347482.post-1157147484183740092006-09-01T14:51:00.000-07:002006-09-01T14:51:00.000-07:00I used to putt a lot with my sand wedge on the putting green - the slightly rounded leading edge acts like the self correcting bulge on a driver. If you pull across - it pushes it a little and if you push the putt, it steers it back online to the left a little. It's really amazing. It's also good for your putting stroke since a real wristy move just won't work and you have to watch the ball very well or you'll miss hit it. It's really a wonderful way to work on your putting stroke.JimmyJ[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347482.post-1094384121459576262004-09-05T04:35:00.000-07:002004-09-05T04:35:00.000-07:00On Friday, I played with this good golfer who worked at Moorpark Country Club and he had the putting yips big time on the first few holes. He started putting with his sandwedge and became deadly inside of six feet. He bladed it into the equator of the ball. He kept telling me each time he made one – see it gets rid of the yips! If he wasn’t such a good golfer I would have thought he was crazy putting with a wedge but who am I to talk; I miss everything outside of 2 feet with my Scotty Cameron. I don't even want to think about full swing yips...<br /><br />Rich at eatgolf.comAnonymous[email protected]
