In this presentation from Open Forum 4, world-renowned putting coach David Orr challenges the traditional "pendulum" myth and dives deep into the 3D biomechanics of the hand path in putting.
David explains why the hands are never truly "dead" in an elite stroke and how the coordination between the lead hand, trail hand, and the shaft creates successful results.
Using 3D data and high-speed video analysis, he breaks down different release types—from "throwing the toe" to "blocking"—and explains why your putting stroke is actually an ecosystem influenced by your environment and equipment.
