How many times have you heard that the putting stroke should work like a pendulum — and wondered what that actually means in practice?
In its simplest terms, the “pendulum” concept means that the radius of your stroke arc remains constant throughout the entire motion.
In practical terms, the distance from your sternum to the sweet spot on the putter never changes — not during the backswing, not through impact, and not in the follow-through.

Picture a grandfather clock with its pendulum swinging in a perfectly consistent arc. That’s the visual you want. But more importantly, why do we want a pendulum-type stroke?
Putting demands extraordinary precision. Being off just one or two degrees from 10 feet can cause you to miss the hole entirely on a short putt. That level of accuracy requires eliminating every unnecessary moving part so your stroke can’t break down and introduce inconsistencies.
