There's something in there. It's called resonance. It's a timing and tempo of your stroke that many physicists will talk about. One of the ways to learn that is to get practice strokes in constant motion. So, if I set up and I'm pretending I'm gonna hit a short putt, if I just take my putter back and through at a short distance right here, my body right in here is gonna feel whether or not this stroke feels like it's in the right tempo. If I do it too slow, I'm gonna be gripping too tight. If I try to do it too fast, you feel this shock in your stomach that tells you you're going too fast. Now for some people, they kinda understand this. There's another way that you can practice this, and that is to get a metronome. In the old days, you had to go to the music store. Now you can actually go to the App Store and you can purchase an app that's a metronome. What we found is the average for PGA Tour players is 68 beats per minute. So, you can set the metronome to 68 beats. And what I can do is— if I'm hitting a short one, in order for me to…
