Let TOMI Improve Your Putting
by: Cary Lonis
Who really knows what their putter face is doing? At AGI, we have the tools to explain and show EXACTLY what your putter is doing through impact. I am a Hank Haney Certified Instructor specializing in improving your putting approach, stance and stroke and employ the use of a fascinating laser system called TOMI (The Optimal Motion Instructor). This system will show you 8 different facets of the putting stroke; alignment at address, alignment at impact, path at impact, stroke path and rotation, shaft angle, impact spot, speed at impact, and stroke tempo.
The most important aspect of your putting stroke is what it is doing through the impact zone, but how you arrive at that point can be taught in a more efficient manner. We at AGI can help you understand the putting philosophy of what the Professional Golfers use, what stroke 95% of them use in winning tournaments on the most highly visible stage in golf. We can develop some easy to follow drills to expedite your learning process, break down each of the 8 aspects of the putting stroke; and put you in a natural posture explaining each step. Once you understand how the stroke actually works, you will be able to refine your stroke and become much more consistent. This process will free up your mind to concentrate the most important aspect of putting, which is distance control. When we develop a consistent stroke pattern, it will give us a starting point to work on perfecting speed in the stroke.
A sometimes overlooked statistic in golf explains where your scoring comes from, the Gurus espouse the fact that 60% of our shots occur within 125 yards of the green, with more than half of those coming either on the green or on the fringe. With this knowledge, it becomes even more evident that we should focus more energy in this direction. AGI not only can get your full swing kinks worked out, but we can help you cut strokes from your score seamlessly by working on your putting and short game mechanics.
