David Orr Interview

Welcome to Episode 226 of THE Golf Improvement Podcast! Dedicated to sharing useful information on professional club fitting, putting and short game improvement, and effective practice techniques. CHANGING GOLFER'S LIVES - ONE GOLFER AT A TIME!

Show Notes:

Welcome back - for the 10th time! - David Orr - Golf Magazine Top 100 Teacher, and creator of the Flatstick Academy in Southern Pines, North Carolina.

• David talks about what motivated him to want to share his thoughts on how to best fit junior golfers for putters - and some of the mistakes that junior golfers can make with the putters they start with.
• He discusses the absolute #1 starting elements for a good putter fitting - Length, Lie, Putter Weight. He shares his three-part process for doing getting putter length right for a junior golfer (actually, for any golfer!).
• David talks about how junior golfers often want the putters they see the Tour Players playing - and why these might not be best for them - at least when they are learning to putt.
• He talks about how Putter Weight can vary for the type of putters - Blades or Mallets - he also talks about the industry trend to heavier and heavier putters.
• David notes that Feeling Rotation in a putting stroke is not a bad thing - and that very often Big Putter Grips are not a great option for Junior Golfers.
• He talks about his excitement about the putter designs that he is creating with David Frisch and Goodwood Golf.
• Finally - more than once in the interview - David talks about how getting a junior golfers into well-fit putters can help then learn Coordination in their Putting Strokes.
