| Geoff Mangum's "Mechanics of Instincts" | | What's New, What's Better! | Geoff Mangum’s putting instruction brings together the best of the putting lore from golf history and combines it with the most advanced research into the neuroscience of human perceptual and movement processes for targeting and stroke on the putting green. The result is “The Mechanics of Instinct,” an instinctive, minimalist style of putting that is simple and yet deeply based on science, and that brings together the best techniques in golf.
The new brain-based instinctive paradigm for putting emphasizes the human body rather than the putter itself.

Talk about what "the putter does" is out, along with a "robotics" or "engineering" approach to putting. Physics, yes, but only in relation to how the golfer's brain and body actually function during putting. Talk "ABOUT" putting is no longer good enough -- you have to communicate effective techniques for controlling perceptions and movements during putting. The new "how to putt" brings into unison what needs to happen with how the golfer can best accomplish this accurately and consistently and simply. The PuttingZone golfer both understands and can perform instinctive putting so that he conforms more closely to optimal performance on a regular basis, without the confoundings of streakiness that plague most Tour pros. End result – much better distance control, more sinks for fewer strokes, more money, more wins, less psychological baggage, more consistent reading and aiming, and an all-around happier golfer.
Most golf instructors teach only the full swing, and only a small handful of putting experts are around at any given time. Even among these putting experts, the clear emphasis is on the stroke, with only superficial analysis and teaching for reading putts, aiming the putter, and controlling distance. Geoff Mangum offers the complete package for putting – the best techniques in golf history for distance control, stroke, aiming, and reading putts, plus putting psychology and putter selection and fitting. Some false gods of putting: eye over the ball; accelerate thru; the stroke path must gate inside-square-inside; the stroke path must go straight back and straight through; no one can teach touch; the head must stay still; left-wrist breakdown is fatal; feel resides in the sensitivity of the fingers; putting is individual; etc. Find out what unites the great flatstick artisans of the past and present, despite their idiosyncratic techniques.
The beauty is in the simplicity of instinctive putting. The stroke has only two key components. Touch relies upon a single tempo. Aiming is simple body geometry correctly applied. And reading putts is touch in reverse. See, Aim, Putt. |
