- HEADS UP PUTTING
Looking at the hole when you putt can dramatically improve your putting by reducing the number of 3 putts you have per round AND increasing the number of 1 putts?
Too good to be true…? Well, it’s not - and I speak from personal experience that this exercise transformed my putting (saved it, actually!) and continues to help me to this day.
If you want to be a good putter, you need good speed control. Most golfers aren’t very good at this skill, primarily because they don’t give their brain the information it craves to help it determine how hard to hit a putt.
Poor putters spend too much time staring at the ball, trying to control their stroke and learning little about target. The best putters are absorbed by the target, with little to no care about their stroke mechanics.
Heads Up Putting helps to improve your speed and distance control by focusing your attention on what's really important - THE TARGET.

Rob, I just tried this on my indoor mat and scored 10 out of 10 in the hole using this method. Nothing short, which is my usual miss, and nothing off the end of the mat, indicating too hard. I am definitely going to use this on the course. Thanks.
Warning, it didn't work with the driver (but admittedly my drives weren't much worse).😉
Makes a lot of sense. In billiards you look at the object ball not the que ball when stroking each shot.
Rob. When it works it’s phenomenal l. When I’ve failed, it basically my thought- focus goes to my hands and it causes pulls, shoves, and loss of power. Any suggestion on how to keep the putter moving without interjecting the hands?
I have been using the looking at the hole putting for about six weeks. It has really improved my lag putting plus short and medium putting. The only time I look at the ball now is on exceptionally long putts after I determined the amount of swing using the method. I found with a big back swing I often didn’t make good ball contact. Overall, I’m very pleased and have no plans to return to looking at the ball while putting. Also, I like seeing my playing partners’ mouths dropping open when they see some of the putts I am now making. 😊
What I have found that makes this work so well is that it is very fundamental in ensuring you keep your head very still
This video was helpful. I wasn't sure whether to look at the ball or the target. It's hard to do both. The basketball analogy really makes sense.
Rob, I have been doing this for several years after reading it in golf magazine. 1 of the top putting coaches found 1 and 10 people needed to put to the hole. My 3 putts disappeared, unless they were 30' or more. I continue to look at the hole even when I putt, unless 25' or more away. My distance control Improve dramatically. I invested two weeks of practice and I was converted. I can use different putters and see no real differences, the mind adjusts quickly. Thanks for your videos.
I have done this the last few years. I find it especially helpful for the longer putts. The subconscious mind is heavily involved. My best results happen when I simply focus on the target. My worst results happen when at the last second I let other thoughts creep in..like "my buddies will think I am crazy for trying this" . If I stick to my routine and just relax my mind, it works well...esp on the 30 and 40 footers (which most amateurs often have in a round). A center shafted putter may work better for most people.
Same here 👍played other sports and it comes naturally for me
Been putting this way for about 6 years now. Left hand low as well. Wouldn't go back. Makes it so much easier. I only look at the spot at the hole that I think the ball will go in at. I see the cup as a clock and after I've read the break I picture it going in at 3:00 or 7:30 or whatever part of the hole I believe is correct. And you have to trust it. It works. You can't try it for a few weeks and give up. This takes time but will pay off. Thank you Rob for this video.
I learned this method some years back in an article I read. Overall, I think that this helps. There are times that I am able to make long distance putts that I would normally have no chance of making through this process. I would highly recommend it.
Tried this in practice last night and found it worked great. I noticed that the putter face impact felt much more pure. Going to use it in a match today.
Yup, I've used it kinda a natural athletic instinct for some of us
What is amazing that this works for lag puts and short putts. The other amazing thing is that your brain factors in the break. The key for me is to focus on the smallest spot on the hole. (Like you said). The only problem is if there is movement from another player in my range of sight it can really throw me off. I think you’re right about trusting the putt. Nice video
Yes! Your brain naturally factors in ball speed, too. That's key.
Makes sense, love your thoughts.
I used this 40 years ago and putted the best ever of my play. I figured we throw darts looking at the board. When Johnny Miller had trouble he did it in the 70s, but now he says you are really in trouble if you go to this. i loved it and if I played often i would go back.
@@golftecasia actually, I agree with you. When I played every week I loved putting this way! I prefer it. My comment was aimed at Johnny Miller who commented about Speith going that way because Johnny thought it was a sign of desperation! I disagreed with him.But, facts are facts, the best putters don’t do it that way. But, it would be interesting to see if they would even be better if they did. I have to say the only time I had trouble with it was for very long putts, like over 50ft.
I’ve been using a heads up putting and left hand low for years. Glad to see you advocating for it! I played lots of sports growing up and could never understand why looking anywhere other than the target during putting made sense.
I have been using Heads Up putting for about a year. I love it. My putting has improved and I feel that I have a chance of making 10 footers or closer. My lag putting has improved so much too. Thanks for the video. Aloha 🤙
This. Just. Makes. Sense. Bravo sir.
Super video, struggled so much with distance, heads up gets me closer and in more of the time
Yes, my last golf lesson had me try this and it is so helpful.
worked well for me last season. main problem with it is chunking putts after four or so beers.
I find the beers help with relaxation and elimination of negative thoughts.
I just tried this method and I putted extremely well! It felt a little funny at first, but by the ti.e I got to the back nine It was feeling more comfortable. I can't wait to play again with this method again. I shot even par 72 with this method!!!
I've been struggling with distance control lately. Watched this when it first came out and have been no-look on the practice green for a couple of weeks. Finally felt comfortable and confident enough to take it out on the course today and I'm happy with the results. Much better distance control. Thanks Rob!
Simple yet effective concept ⛳️
Hey Rob, very timely video. I will be trying this tonight on my home practice mat.
I totally agree and have been using this method with success for a long time now.🤙🏼
Excellent suggestion. Logical too for the amateur golfer. Jordan does it too
Been working on heads up for a few months beginning with a long face on style. I have taken the face on/heads up to my traditional length and style putting and it has really helped. Takes some practice and nerve to put it in play on game day. Great explanation in this video.
Absolutely right !
This is incredible and it works. I have been practicing on my putting carpet with the puttout pressure putt trainer and struggled to make any putts for 2 weeks. I tried this and made 5 in a row. Right line and speed looking at the trainer. Amazing. Thanks.
i have been using this method for over two years now and it has changed my game. For anyone that struggles with putting its def well worth trying out.
Great vid 🙂
Back in 2020 my pro made me do exercises where I looked at the hole during putting. The first putt was literally a big duff 😂 but 5-ish min into the session it made so much sense, and I ended up implementing that drill into my game. What we also did was adding some wrist action into the stroke, more on longer putts and almost none on the 3-4 footers.
These two adjustments have freed up my stroke, leading to so so much better both speed and directional control.
Excellent video even for a guy who has looked at the hole for decades. The details on how to take proper practice strokes is genius.
love those slow motion putt close ups showing the club path vs. exact moment that the club strikes the ball, very convincing! I've been using it on longer putts, and in fact, I probably have been doing this 90% of the time where the focus is really on the target then I look at the ball when I putt....but what I have found is with putts >15 feet, keeping an eye on the target (not the ball), really helps with the lag putting. this technique is a keeper for me!
Rob, been using this for a few months. I am much better than I used to be but when it is most effective I have to be relaxed with the stroke. When I try and "hit" the ball and lose feel it doesn't go well. When I am free and feeling well with my stroke it is MUCH better than looking down. Now I am going to have my first lesson with putting, getting better with green reading and hopefully feel for speed.
I had problems with distance control about a summer ago. I went to the practice green, and did heads up putting while on the practice green. It soon became my standard warm-up for putting before a round. I became so comfortable with heads up putting and my distance control improved so much, that I decided to use it during my rounds. My putting‘s improved immeasurably since I started heads up putting. One of the huge benefits of heads up putting is that your head stays steady throughout your entire putting stroke.
Great idea more please
Love this
i decided to do this a year ago. it saved my putting too. i was doing it as a drill and noticed how crazy better my feel was for everything.. break, speed, flow, accuracy. as soon as I heard, Spieth was doing it with success and winning, I made the decision and never turned back. not a silver bullet, but there was a dramatic uptick in ability for sure. soon I noticed that for longer putts I kinda needed to look at the ball but in that case my eyes jump to the hole soon as I strike it. It’s not full proof, of course and one thing I realized is I need to not be sloppy about it and not move my head around. and i need a routine. But everything you said I found to be 100% accurate in my case.
I used to do it and I had so much success!! I let friends and playing partners talk me out of it. I now have the yips and after this video I am going back to heads up putting!!
Stumbled on to heads up putting, thought I came up with something new but per the usual, it was not. But.. heads up putting has elevated my putting to next level
thank you. a very good advice.
I have been successful with this technique practicing, but I generally only use it for long lag putting and have holed-out many 20-40 foot putts this way! I did have the mechanics issue in the back of the mind that you mentioned, but after watching your video of the putter head path not as important as the face angle, this has alleviated my mental concern! 👍⛳️
Hi Rob,
I followed your aim point course a couple of years ago at Lumine golf (Andy, Frank and I)
This improved already a lot my putting. (hdcp from 11 to 8)
About looking at the target:
After a short practise on the putting green, I tried this yesterday on the course (Daurada golf).
It felt strange first, but after a while i started making really long putt’s.
People on my flight said, waw you’re putting is really good today 🙂🙂
So, bottom line, i’m convinced and will try to use and improve my putting
with this technique. (it is no easy to change habits, but it’s worth it)
Thanks !!!
Enjoyed your video. For my self if I have my "eye in" I put well other times,way off line. I find that if I concentrate too much on the put line I ground the put. Just started watching your videos Rob as being eighty and for the last 10 years been having age related injuries, Iam trying stack and tilt. A lot easier on my back and joi.nts. I used to have hcp. of 20 but this year restarting have been given under the new hcp. system , 41. ambition to reduce it. But hey, it's good to take my clubs for a walk. Roy
Rob. Tried this in the practice green yesterday and OMG! Like Magic was was getting such wonderful touch and feel for the green speed. Thanks! I can’t wait to take it to the course.
Went to our little par 3 for some practice this morning and putted really well again. So excited to take this to the big course. I honestly haven’t been this encouraged about putting in years and have really struggled lately. My last 2 rounds were with 38 putts and 40 putts! Amazingly, I am still scoring in the 80s but really wanting to get back to scoring/occasionally breaking 80. Thanks again Rob. I’ll send another update once I play a full round for comparison.
Best thing I have ever done along with claw grip. Ive had 3 x 3putts in 6 weeks!!! I also take 3 slow looks to the hole and then stay on it at the end and putt. The key word is TRUST. If you know your distance, if you know your putter, if you trust your putting stroke its takes all the anxiety out of the long lag putts and any doubt over the 3-4 four foot putts. Practice for a awhile and don't tell anyone what you're doing and see if they pick it up. Cheers
Hey Rob. I have been looking at the hole or a spot for over 30 years. On putts over about 8 feet, I will look at a mark to hit between ball and hole. Anything under about 8 feet I look at the hole. Late last year I had 21 putts for 18 holes. I think that Is one of my low putting rounds. Great tip. I don’t know why more pros don’t do it.
Great video Rob, I watch a similar video from lee westwood saying the same idea and I can say it made a massive difference to my putting and very rarely three putt👍
Yes this is exactly what I was doing today I am good putter but find inconsistencies I find looking at the hole more and looking down at the ball less I was making a lot of putts from all distances I will continue to use the sequence you showed at the end of the video thanks for the video it’s very important info you shared cheers
I use this and have done so for years. Intuition Putting is what it was called. Thanks for your comments.
I've tried it and I think you are correct it works better!
Moved to heads up several months ago & it’s certainly made a big improvement to my putting game. Issues are with consistent strike, sometimes find I hit out of the heel… but that’s my only issue with it.
fantastic video. I used to try and look at the hole as part of my follow through and it helped, but timing it was difficult to do consistently. Now with this, that is not an issue. Also, I am right handed and right hand dominant, so this helps me by using my dominant eye on the target.
Hi, Rob,The head up putting is magical for me. Especially for down slope putting, I focus my eyes on the target 1 of 10 yards some thing and the ball will stop close to the hole.
It is just like rolling the ball with hand to the hole. We are not looking at hand but towards hole.
You are revealing the true secrets, thanks
I have been working on this style of putting and find it helps with distance control. As well I have been experimenting with lining the put up and lifting the putter above the ball while taking practice swings while looking at the target while visualizing the ball rolling in the hole. Then taking my stroke. It seems to work for me for both long and short putts
Works great
Putting is definitely interesting to me as it's where you gain/lose so many shots on the greens. Yesterday I played terribly from tee to green but no 3 putts and that helped to keep my score reasonable to my handicap.
@@golftecasia I tried the "lite" version of this Thursday and Friday out on the course. I.e taking a last look at the hole and then hitting the putt immediately. Guess what? 36 holes and only 1 3 putt. Granted I didn't hole a lot of putts from more than 8ft but that's winter greens for you. Only missed one short one and my lag putting was excellent. I'll be continuing with this and may graduate to looking solely at the hole once I've tried it on the practice green first.
I putt this way most of the time and find it really works. A side benefit of this method is that it forces you to remain perfectly still during your stroke. On really long putts i do not look at the hole but focus on a spot several feet out in front on my line.
I averaged 2 putts per hole last year, I’m going to try this and get even better. Thanks again
Will give it a try Rob
Your method is similar to what Dave Stockton teaches, although he doesn't mention heads up putting. I am keen to try this in practice, or even on short putts. When I employed the Stockton method my distance control immediately improved, although I somehow got away from it and I am far from a good putter. This may be a more detailed way to get myself back on the right track. Thanks for making this video.
Definitely can see improvement especially on shorter putts. Main issue I found was on uphill/ downhill putts but guess comes down to more practice
You’re right. Take a very full cup of coffee and stare at it and walk to the table. You will spill some of the coffee. Take a full cup of coffee and stare at the table only you will not spill any coffee. Your brain knows how to compensate naturally. Good video.
Life-changing. Totally eliminates mechanical putting. Especially helpful for me when I would freeze over short putts. Agree 100% that you must pick the smallest target possible. On my putting mat at home, I get better results when I focus on a small spot on the back rim of the hole.
Rob, Would you recommend a higher MOI putter for this technique or does it simply not matter? I currently use an Odyssey Stroke Lab R-ball putter. Works great.
I've been doing this for a while, helps to reduce the yips on short putts because you can visually see where it's going. Like shooting a free throw.
Enjoyed the video...tried it years ago, going to try it again because it may work, zero downside. Interestingly Rob I was watching a video on "Time" (series called Closer to the Truth) and the neuroscientist said because of the way our brains perceive time and process it, we are always dealing with the past. We see, hear or feel something but the time we process it ,it's gone...so to your point, the sooner you move from seeing the cup and putting (within reason) the better...standing over a putt is not ideal!
I tried it and it worked mainly for 7’ and closer… you have to make the leap and trust yourself 👍
I’ve putted heads up since 1999.
After watching a senior golfer practicing using this process, I decided to try it:
• started from 2’ out with10 balls
• it felt natural & then went to 3’, 4’ etc etc etc
• have never gone back to looking at the ball
Here’s what I’ve found:
• Once the pre shot routine is complete & I’m locked in to looking at the hole, my focus is the target & I actually do NOT even think of where the ball is in my stroke
• This takes away ALL the pressure of making the putt, I’m “in the moment” of the stroke
• use it for ALL length of putts
• the best part is, my head is steady & does NOT move
• my takeaway is short but my follow through is long
• I have great tempo, rhythm & timing
I have won many tournaments including The 2019 Fiji Open Golf Championship as an Amateur with scores of 75, 75 & 78 on a 75.3 course rating from the tips as a 6 handicapper
There's no question this works particularly on longer putts. You see and feel the distance and what speed is necessary. However my problem is having a repetitive stroke (which I need to practice) occasionally I chunk the shot, which is embarrassing. Maybe left hand low will help? Nice work Rob!
Great video. Just tried heads up putting yesterday and today you did a video. Perfect timing.
Heads up putting just makes so much sense to me.
Do you have a preferred grip style? And if so, have you made a video on that? Thanks.
I started using heads up putting and it has improved my putting significantly. My miss is much closer and rarely hit a bad putt.The funny thing is none of my playing partners have even noticed!
So I haven't tried it yet in a round , but in my basement next to my driving range I have a 10 foot cheap putting matt. I tried this and 9 out of 10 have gone in. I am looking forward to trying on real greens. Thank you
My putting really improved last year. There was one game where I was sinking 20 footers & they were talking about my magic stick. What I did different last year was get my read on break. Practised looking at a spot I wanted the ball to go over, Then I looked at the target, focused on the back of the ball & hit it.
That's been working for me. 5 🐦 today. But I think I'm still going to give heads up a try as I sometimes lose that spot when I come to address the ball.
Rob, I've watched this video several times. I've listened to the Podcast on heads-up putting and been trying several combinations as you suggest, i.e. always look at the hole, look at the ball at the last minute, look at the ball only, on longer shots, try and look at the ball and the hole at the same time (since I'm left-eye dominant). My problem is mostly around my inability to centre the face and get consistent contact which means my balls fall short or worse miss their intended line slightly, while looking at the hole only. For the moment, looking at the ball when I can't see both the hole and the ball, at the same time, is not really comfortable since I'm inconsistently seeing the ball/hole and losing concentration as well. My most success so far has been, waiting until the last minute to fix my eyes on the ball as it guarantees (with good practice strokes as you suggest) I'm hitting the ball correctly on these much harder long shots. I"m still stubbornly trying to figure out how look at the hole all the time because it's much better to see the hole than just memorise the swing, before looking at the ball. My thought is that if I could make my rocking movement perfect and fix my lower body perfectly, I could count on contacting the centre of the club on the intended line while watching the hole. This is where I'm focussing for now.
My question is do you have any recommendations on how I can fix this putting turn so that it is perfect, i.e. I don't have to look at face of the club going into the ball? Do I, for example, focus on the torso, memorise the distance my club goes back while rocking, etc.? Or, do you think it's better to look back at the face and ball at the last moment, on the longer shots?
Finally, here's an analoguous version of this existential debate in snooker, czcams.com/video/hVd80V0_K0U/video.html. The old-timer, one the best of all time, says he has always looked at the cue ball (ball for us golfers), but learned to focus on the object ball (the golf hole) and then pause his movement to put it back on the cue ball to get better longer shots. This is what I'm doing. That is, I'm looking at the hole until I need to hit it (see video from 2:45 to 3:30)
I tried this on a practice green three years ago and immediately drained my first three . . . and they were all from a spot over 20 feet from the cup! For the next 15 minutes I astonished myself by putting every ball either in or very close and not once did I mis-hit the ball because I wasn't looking at it. It reminded me more of shooting free throws at a basketball hoop than golf. On the course it has speeded my play dramatically. I don't need to walk around eyeballing the green to get long putts close. Basically it's point and shoot. It took 4-5 strokes off my score from day 1 and I've never gone back.
This makes a lot of sense to me, thank you. I am AWFUL at putting. I do a lot of things well in my game otherwise, but i may be the worlds worst putter and it destroys my whole day. i will definitely give this a full go
I really enjoy this video
@@golftecasia .You are the best.
Good video. I’ve been doing this for a few weeks. Don’t fully trust it on long putt’s yet since i have to hit the ball harder. Tried it once and crushed it! 😅😅. The 15’ and in has a good feel. I did miss a 3’ putt last week so It caused me to look at the ball on the really short one’s but I think that will be worked out with practice. Very nice results otherwise. Give it a try.
Good stuff
I'm definitely more a feel based, creative player. Think it will work great for me. Thanks. Gonna listen to the podcast too
Tried it after watching Spieth. Memory decay is a big issue. When looking at the ball, if I don’t get the putt away immediately (Monty), I lose all feel for the putt. I’m the guy who walks into the kitchen and can’t remember why he’s there. Looking at the target definitely helps. In snooker we look at the object ball not the cue ball. Excellent video. I’ll forward it too to Harry Maguire…for his football. I’m sure he’s not looking at ANYTHING 😀. No point sending it to anyone at Chelski…😂😂😂
Been using it since reading Tim Galways book The inner game...
Works a treat...so does closed eyes
@@golftecasia it's a great book...was introduced to Tim with the tennis book
As a ballroom dancer I was given it to improve my dancing...read it ten years too late...lol
Won club champs with eyes closed on every putt...like a dream...
Rob, I haven’t tried this yet but will next time I’m practicing my putting. However, I find that my putting is at its best when I see the hole with my peripheral vision. You can actually see both the ball and the hole at the same time if your head is slightly behind the ball. It helps you to visualise the path to the hole.
Yeah but what about when u cant see both?
Great video, going to try it when the course opens here in Canada. Do you have a left hand low technique or another general putting technique videos?
People who don't want to work on putting will take longer to improve if at all.
Just my 2 cents
Thanks for the terrific content Rob
Much appreciated
I always hear people say "keep your eyes on the ball and wait until you hear the ball fall in the hole" they tell me this but when I see them putt they always take their eyes off the ball, I have a cataract and have found that I have trouble with speed because of my depth perception so I am now leaving the flag in the hole, which has helped, I will, however, try this, thank you
Thank you Rob this makes tons of sense when the pace is key. But would you recommend this on a short putt where the line is key and with the line on the ball you simply have to follow that?
So funny. Earlier today, I watched that earlier video and practiced heads-up putting all day today. Keep the videos coming.
I need to take this to the course or at least the practice putting green. Practice on my indoor basement putting surface is not the same as putting on grass. So far, it works.
@@golftecasia As soon as the ice melts here in Chicago. Ice and snow was not as an issue when I had a couple of weeks of work in Singapore :-)
I have been putting this way for over 10 years. I find it the easiest method for putting and it feels very natural. Contact with the ball is not an issue for me. The only time I don't putt this way is if I'm tapping the ball a foot on a fast down hill putt or hitting it 70 feet where I have to take a big backswing. I'm always looking at the point I'm putting it to. If there is a 5 foot rollout, I'm looking at the point 5 foot short of the hole. This makes me feel my putting stroke is always the same. I'm always putting to the distance that I'm looking at.
very interesting. i'm a lifetime hockey player and look where i'm shooting. i've wondered about the same for putting as i'm just taking the game up. i asked my instructor and he is very open minded and said some do and it with success and it was worth exploring for yourself. i just hope i can do it without undue steering which is exactly how you shoot a hockey puck.
Hello Rob,
Enjoyed your video as always.
I did try 'heads up' putting but unfortunately had a bad time of it. Struggleed with distance control. Did well in practice but struggled in competitions.
I liked your thoughts in the last part of the video by returning back to the ball with the eyes and releasing the putter.
Will give 'heads up' another try as I do like the concept.
Keep up your good work and videos.
Thanks for the advice and prompt reply Rob.
Certainly will give 'heads up' putting another try!
Last week I hit 45 putts in one round 🤦🏻♂️ Something had to change, I found this video and yesterday I hit 32 putts in one round.
Unbelievable difference, sinked some killers!
Forgot about what my hands were doing, or how big my swing was, just left it to the brain.
It’s magic, because you’re staring at the hole and this balls suddenly comes into sight and drops in the hole!🤩
Thank you for this great video, I will never leave this technique!🤓👌🏽
@@golftecasia it gets better…. I played again yesterday in my second round Matchplay comp, I can’t believe how many holes I managed to half with a one putt that I had no business making! Held on for the front 9, went from 3 under to win 2up with 1 to play! I can’t thank you enough for this video 🤘🏽
Shooting a basketball is a lot different from putting because your fingers and hands give you constant feedback - you are always in touch with the ball.
Tested heads up first time ever today. 27 puts. I Can’t believe it😂I made «everything» inside 10 feet and a few outside.
Arne, Norway
Yes I nees serious help with putting. The 3 putt is killing my game. To much driving range, not enough greens
I love the idea and am going to give it a try. Using the comparison to other sports however, is not accurate. In other sports where striking is a skill, the player looks at the object to be struck. For example, when serving a volleyball or tennis ball, kicking a soccer ball, hitting a baseball, shooting a hockey puck, or hitting a 9 iron into a green, the athlete looks at the object.
I think a long look at the hole before a lag putt definitely results In a better result. I’ll try this for shorter ones.
Since I have been putting while looking at the hole, its now difficult to try and put looking down at the ball. Heads up is working for me. I'm sure its not for everyone.
@@golftecasia I got to comment again. I practice this stroke for about 30 mins a day 4 times a week. I start putting my putting from 15 - 20 feet away working on my distance control. Out of 7 balls I make a least one and the other's are within 2ft or less. I'm hooked.
I always been a streaking putter after watching this video I realized my best putting has been when I was focused on the target
It works both for long and short putts. My only issue is the occasional mis-hit where I hit the ground first. It is a huge help on lag putts and I can’t remember why I ever stopped doing it.
An alternative is to pick out a spot/mark on the green between the hole and the ball...maybe 3-4 feet from the ball and use that as an aim point....might be better for longer putts.
