We need to have a conversation about arm lock putting!
Golf Monthly breaks down the arm lock putting style, exploring its setup, mechanics, and key equipment considerations. The video explains how resting the upper grip against the lead forearm stabilizes the wrist joint, improving face control and roll consistency.
Anchor the top section of the putter grip firmly against your lead forearm to stabilize the lead wrist.
Ensure your putter has additional loft (typically 5 to 7 degrees) to compensate for forward shaft lean.
Engage the shoulders in a pendulum motion to drive the putting stroke rather than using small hand muscles.
Maintain uniform grip pressure throughout the backswing and follow-through to preserve stroke rhythm.
