Why Does A Pendulum Putting Stroke Matter?
Because if you are not making a pendulum putting stroke, you are not releasing the putter head - you are pushing rather than stroking the ball. That is one of the main reasons putts do not roll true or stay on line. The path the putter head travels is far more important than how you make it travel that path.
A true pendulum putting stroke a number of advantages over other techniques:
- It starts and keeps the putter head on line
- It allows the ball to start rolling without skidding or hopping
- It returns the putter head to square automatically
- It allows for the free and natural release of the putter head
- It frees the mind to concentrate on the pace and line
- It is a more easily repeatable, consistent stroke
- It builds confidence in your putting
- It sinks more putts and wins more money!
How Do You Know If You Would Benefit From The Perfect Pendulum?
Easy! Start by making note of where the butt end of your putter is pointing at address and then hold your follow through on a medium length stroke. Draw a line with your eyes from the butt end of your putter and see if it points to same spot as at the start. If you are like most golfers, your putter will likely be pointing somewhere in the vicinity of your forward or leading hip, which means you are holding onto instead of releasing the putter head through impact. This is not a true pendulum stroke and none of the benefits above are achieved.
Don't Be Fooled. Other training aids only claim to teach you a pendulum stroke. Without the connection point to your belly you get with the Perfect Pendulum you are not sure of making a true pendulum motion and most likely just rocking your shoulders. Putting aids with braces or rails lock you in a certain position and make you dependent on the device to replicate a pendulum stroke. Not so with the Perfect Pendulum, and, unlike other similarly styled pendulum training aids, the Perfect Pendulum does not need to be repositioned after each putt allowing it to be used to aid in developing temp as well as the stroke itself.
The fastest way to improving your putting and lowering your scores is not necessarily with a new putter, but a better putting stroke. That’s why the Perfect Pendulum is so valuable and effective. Begin the transformation of your putting stroke and lowering your scores today with the Perfect Pendulum.
Make Your Putting Stroke A True Pendulum Stroke
It makes no difference how good you are at reading greens if you do not have a solid putting stroke and of all putting aids, the Perfect Pendulum is the simplest and the best for learning a smooth and confident pendulum putting stroke.
There are many misconceptions about what makes a pendulum putting stroke. It goes far beyond simply locking your wrists or focusing on rocking your shoulders. Those tips alone do not guaranty a true pendulum stroke. By definition, a pendulum is a machine composing of a hanging object that swings on an arm in a constant arc from a fixed point (picture a grandfather clock). In the case of putting, that fixed point is a spot in your belly defined by the extension of the butt end of the putter shaft (the arm) at address and the hanging object is the putter head. The Perfect Pendulum connects the object (the putter head) and arm (the putter shaft) to the fixed point (You) to form the arc (your putting stroke.

Has This Always Been True?
A Short History of the Change and Why?
The pendulum stroke has not always been the popular stroke. In fact, it would not have even the best stroke to use in times past. So, what has changed to make it the right stroke now? Technology! Not of the stroke itself but of the golf course and the way they were built and maintained as well as the materials they used. Greens have not always been as we see them today. Not only did they not have the technology in the mowers and equipment but they also did not have the technology of the grass itself. Roll the clock back just 50 years and greens looked nothing like today. Today’s greens are made using hybrid grass seeds and maintained with mowers, aerators and irrigation systems not even dreamed of in the day. Golfer’s of today would consider the best greens of old to like putting on a poodle’s back. Lumps, ball marks, drainage swells and spike marks were the rule of the day. Even the rules themselves have evolved and the days of jumping stymies are gone. Equipment evolution in putter heads, shafts, grips and even the ball have all forced the change in the stroke. Today’s 10-12 stemp plush greens have rendered the those armsy, wristy jab strokes of the old greats like Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan, Walter Hagen and even up to Gary Player, Arnold Palmer and the early days of Jack obsolete and ineffective. Just compare the images of the great Ben Hogan, Bobby Locke and Arnold Palmer to today’s great putters. Mastering a perfect pendulum stroke has become a necessity to score on today’s greens with today’s equipment and the Perfect Pendulum is the best tool yet to help you stroke your way to better scores.
