The Arm Lock – Adopting a grip that keeps hands and arms quiet
Arm locking is a method very similar to the style of putting used by PGA Tour player Matt Kuchar. The concept involves using slightly longer-than-standard shafted putter with a fractionally increased loft.
The key to this technique is that as you complete the grip by using your right hand to apply the pressure. Doing this forces the butt-end of the grip touches and maintains contact with your left forearm.
Constantly connecting with the forearm will encourage the hands to remain passive to the extent that they become passengers. You control the stroke by smoothly rocking the shoulders back and through, while keeping the head still.
The Technique
Slightly turn your left hand and run the grip high through the palm of left hand. Then wrap your fingers, holding the lock in nicely.
Apply your right hand parallel to the grip and place your right thumb on centre at the top of the shaft. Then grip slightly push the butt-end of the grip against the inner part of your forearm to create a gentle pressure on the grip
