Seeking Insights on Xander Schauffele’s Putting

I’m really interested in improving my putting skills, and I’ve been watching a lot of Xander Schauffele lately. He seems to have an incredible touch on the greens. I’m curious about:

  • His grip: What does he do differently? Are there specific tips that set his grip apart?
  • Routine: Does anyone know his pre-putt routine? How can it help in maintaining focus?
  • Instructional content: Are there any good videos or articles out there that dissect his style? I’m particularly looking for content that breaks down his techniques step by step.

I’ve seen some YouTube videos, but I’m hoping for more in-depth resources or insights from those who have studied his game. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for any help!

Xander Schauffele’s putting stance is quite balanced. He spreads his feet shoulder-width apart, which helps with stability. It looks simple, but it really sets the stage for an effective stroke.

Absolutely! His grip is also unique; it’s more of a neutral grip compared to other golfers. This contributes to his consistency on the greens.

I’ve noticed that Schauffele uses a pendulum swing for his putting. It keeps the stroke smooth and controlled. It really helps with distance control too!

5

Exactly! His swing path is very straight back and through, which reduces the chance of mistakes. Every inch really counts when putting!

Can anyone elaborate on his pre-shot routine? I feel like there’s a rhythm he establishes before he putts that might be key to his success.

His pre-shot routine consists of a slight waggle and some visualization. It seems to help him focus and commit to the shot.

I think what sets Schauffele apart is his mental game. He stays calm and collected when putting. It’s amazing how much that can affect performance!

That’s a great point! His ability to manage pressure might be developed through practice, but it’s really impressive to watch.

Does anyone think his putting could improve? I mean, even the best have weaknesses. It often looks quite mechanic, which might not work in every condition.

While he’s solid overall, I agree that sometimes his technique appears too robotic. A little more feel could work wonders!

I love the way he reads greens! Sometimes it feels like he’s talking to the grass. How does he do that? Anyone have tips?

He takes his time to analyze not only the slope but also the grass grain. Observing these details can really change the game!

True! But let’s not forget that a little humor helps too. I mean, watching him hole a long putt is like magic!

I tried imitating his technique last weekend. Let’s just say I learned the hard way that not everyone can replicate his form! Practice really is everything.

Haha! I think we’ve all been there. His technique looks so easy until you try it! Definitely makes you appreciate his skill.

Xander Schauffele has a really interesting putting stance that emphasizes a steady head and smooth rhythm. His stat comparison shows he’s often in the top 10 for putting. It’s worth studying how his approach differs from other pros who might rely more on aggressive strokes.

Absolutely! What’s fascinating is how he maintains consistency under pressure. I’ve noticed that unlike some players who fall apart in clutch situations, Schauffele tends to thrive.

In contrast to Schauffele, I’ve seen players like Jordan Spieth use a more aggressive style. Schauffele’s stats show he has a higher conversion percentage from 10-15 feet, which is crucial in tight matches.
