Golf Digest Top-50 Instructor Stan Utley shares the lesson that shaped his putting philosophy by learning to “putt with dead strength.”
That means letting the natural weight of the putter create speed rather than forcing it. Picture a pendulum. The backstroke is longer and the follow-through naturally shorter as the ball interrupts the motion.
This simple concept leads to better distance control, which Stan says is the most important part of putting, especially for long putts.
