Jim, so what is it Tiger does that makes HIS stroke so consistent?
There are a ton of junk putting strokes out there that are "consistent" until you apply a little pressure on them. I think the putting stroke is the least understood aspect of golf because every one "can" putt. I have been to enough amateur tourneys to know that a good putting stroke is rare in the amateur ranks and in the pros that is what truly separates the Sergio's from the Tiger's.
I thought there might be some others on here who have really “looked” into Tiger’s stroke and might have come away with some nuggets.
Only one really good post in this thread.....the reality is you need to find something that makes your putting stroke consistent and then just adjust for it. That's it. Just like kenny perry playing a big draw all the time; he adjusts and that's what he does.

theres nothing wrong with sergio's stroke. the difference is in green reading, speed control, and mental ability. stroke is the easiest part to do effectively.
According to Utley Sergio's stroke was flawed before he started working with him. But I guess you probably know better.

wow...really?
1. what do you expect utley to say? "sergio's stroke was fine but i changed it anyways". utley is selling his product
2. what makes utley the god of putting? because he has a book about it? big deal.
3. as much as i dont like his style, there is a pretty definitive source for putting info from a putting instructor on the web. if you are going to take up for someone, at least let it be him and not some dime a dozen short game instructor.
Totally off topic, I couldn't careless about your analysis of Sergio,
if you want to add something productive about Tiger's putting technique great. I don't come here to be "somebody", I just come for information. So go ahead and break down his mechanics and keep the rest to yourself, thanks.

Do the same for your putting; personally i like the way i teach it and the only downside to my method is it's difficult on very long putts but other than that, i feel works extremely well.
Golf, where the high handicappers know more than the pros![]()
Unfortunately, you can copy his technique but you can't copy his will
Swing like Hogan, putt like Tiger... Never own your motion.
Maybe theres no need to analyse everything to the minutest detail, accept that Tiger is just so naturally talented at putting, remember when he came on tour with that swing but still he hit the ball purer than anyone titleist ever measured, thats talent.
