Putting
The putting stroke is arguably the most personal of all golf strokes. Though there are fundamental elements to a successful putting stroke, how to achieve success will vary greatly based on individual style and preference.
While all the other SFPro exercises promote “proper posture” and spine angle retention on the “proper” plane, GruuvGolf encourages users to adjust the height and angle of the the SFPro based on their normal putting stance and putter (as some can vary widely in length).
Benefits
The SFPro Putting exercise will help golfers hone their putting stroke by promoting stability and synchronization while exercising their stabilizer muscles. By locking the shoulders during the rocking motion of the putting stroke, the SFPro promotes unison between the hands, arms and shoulders which translates to directional accuracy on a consistent basis.
Executing the SFPro Putting exercise
- Adjust the SFPro Putting handles to shoulder width when in normal putting stance.
- Set the height and angle adjusters for the shoulder bar to be at the height and angle of your normal putting stroke.
- Holding a putter with usual putting grip, assume normal putting stance with putter blade over the front edge of the platform.
- Practice various putting strokes using the front edge of the platform as the guide for the desired putting line.
GruuvGolf Exercise Tips – Putting
- If possible, alternate between sets (8 to 12 repetitions per set) of the SFPro Putting exercise and practice putting with a golf ball
- When not in the SFPro, try to emulate the feeling of having shoulders locked (as in SFPro) and working in unison with arms and hands through the rocking motion of the stroke
