Matt Kuchar has been a long-time proponent of the armlock putting technique, and at this week’s 3M Open, Kuchar is set to tackle the greens by adapting to a right arm method.
The 43-year-old debuted the right armlock earlier this year at the Masters, but the technique quickly went away as Kuchar found little success with the method.
However, it appears Kuchar is once again ready to trust the quirky putting method, testing it with zero loft on his putter, and it’s a technique that has left our members more than a little perplexed.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- toddyc: “Looks completely absurd.”
- Tupperwolf: “It just looks… so awkward… Every shot in golf has the hands ahead. I can see using the feel of the right hand swinging the putter.. but this is, like, hands behind the ball. I understand sometimes you need a new feel, but this is like nothing else in golf. He looks contorted in an uncomfortable way.”
- daviegolf1991: “Looks so uncomfortable, could imagine the arm and back being very sore after putting like that all day. I don’t get some of these pros, you play golf for a living, how hard is it to just keep it simple. I agree, all these anchoring methods need to stop.”
