Before After  Dr. Craig Farnsworth, The Putt Doctor Have 90 minutes to spare to change nearly everything about your putting? I highly recommend visiting my long-time friend Sports Vision Optometrist Dr. Craig Farnsworth. It will be a fabulous investment for $300. During his successful career, Craig has coached more than 150 of the top professional golfers on the PGA, LPGA, and European Tours, including Nick Faldo. He has also authored numerous books on putting. Using the V1 technology and numerous putting drills, he determined I was right-eye dominant, changed my posture from a 65+-degree hip bend to 52 degrees (merely bend with the right hand to touch the top of the kneecap), set my putting stroke to .66 seconds beats per minute using a metronome. I now practice a 10/7 stroke ratio with my stroke length. For example; for a 15 foot putt, the stroke was 10 inches back from the ball and 7 inches forward past the ball. This ensured a clean roll and no bounce of the ball when struck by the club. In addition, he changed my grip and the angle of my hands at the address and suggested that I continue using the Taylormade Spider vs. the Callaway AI Smoke that I had just purchased, as the head in the latter was too heavy. While putting is fickle, during July, I reduced my average number of putts from 34.1 to 31.8. Now, if only I could become more consistent with my 4 – 7 irons. |
