Hi there,
I'm Brian Tennyson. Even though I was a Top 30 PGA Tour Pro when I was young, inconsistent putting plagued me for many years after I left the Tour.
So, I asked myself, how do the Tour’s best putters get the ball rolling so consistently, exactly on the line they intended....and why can't everyone do it?
The answer led me to develop the LEAN LOCK Putter and putting system.
It's been a game changer for me, and it will work FOR ANYONE.
FIXING THE #1 MISTAKE IN PUTTING - There is One Clear Winner -
Excess clubface rotation during the putting stroke is the #1 MISTAKE made by most amateur golfer's when putting.
Amateur golfer's average about 20 degrees of club face rotation when putting while PGA Tour pros average only 3-6 degrees of face rotation. Wow!
Simply put, the more the putter face rotates (opening and closing) during the putting stroke, the less likely you are to return it to its original position at impact, which is the key to great putting.
Wrist movement and the wrists breaking down during the stroke is the #1 reason amateurs have that excess clubface rotation.
There was no foolproof solution... ...UNTIL LEAN LOCK.
Using my LEAN LOCK putter, with the shaft anchored against the target side of the leading forearm, the opposite side of arm locking, your wrists will never break down, I guarantee it!
Any tendency to break down actually makes the connection even stronger.
Why is that a big deal?......because it reduces clubface movements during the stroke, making it much more likely you will return the putter face back to "square" at impact.
With the wrist issue solved, I added signature nuances in weight distribution, forearm alignment, elbow positioning, and ball position all designed and proven in testing, using the SAM PuttLab testing system, to create a putting method that automatically produces a near-perfect putting stroke.
The end result turned out to be eerily similar to one of the game's all-time great putters, Mr. Jack Nicklaus.
The current modern putting instruction doesn't make much sense to me. Here me out.
The teaching pros I've spoken with all say the first thing tell a student when putting is to "imagine you are rolling the ball to the hole (with your dominant hand)."
That makes sense. Without thinking, the golfer intuitively stands facing toward their target and knows instinctively how to roll the ball to the target using only their dominant hand.
What doesn't make sense is instructors then tell those students to stand facing 90 degrees away from the target when actually putting, forcing them swing across their body, with their torso in their way.
....and why are we taught to "use the big muscles" to putt, when it is our hands that hold the club and that have super-sensitive natural "touch" that allows us to intuitively "roll the ball" and control almost anything with them in our daily lives?
Without exception, the teaching pros tell me they teach that because they know their students' wrists will breakdown if the hands get involved. LEAN LOCK solves that, forever!
The LEAN LOCK system allows you to putt using the same natural motion and "touch" you'd use if rolling a ball to the hole with only your hand, without fear of the wrists breaking down...talk about a game-changer!
The LEAN LOCK putting method I created required me to create a ground-breaking new putter that has more forward shaft lean than any other putter. This method will not work with any other putter.
I consulted with one of the leading putter designers in the industry to design putters with a traditional look yet packed with sophisticated features.
The patent-pending forward lean technology is the innovation that sets LEAN LOCK putters apart from everything else.
Perimeter weighting combined with the extra shaft lean stabilizes the putter and reduces torque.
We added a black protective coating to create high contrast with the aiming line for easier alignment.
The proprietary milling on the face has progressive depths and an increasingly close-knit pattern to better grip the ball and produce a soft feel and true-roll control.
For a totally secure connection, we created a custom 19" pistol grip and installed it slightly rotated, so that the flat portion rests squarely against the forearm.

LEAN LOCK Putting Book
The Groundbreaking New Method for Making More Putts
By Brian Tennyson
In this clear and heavily illustrated book, Tennyson shares his secrets and provides a step-by-step guide to learning his game-changing LEAN LOCK putting method that makes striking pure putts simple and easy. This transformative book also outlines the key things every golfer must do to strike pure putts, and includes practice drills, common errors and quick tips that will help any golfer improve and keep their putting on track quickly and easily.
The LEAN LOCK Putter and system are designed to automatically make your putter do everything necessary to strike every putt and make more of them!
We call those three things the APA:
The direction the club face is Aimed, or pointed, at the moment of impact.
*Less face rotation = more consistency
The Path of the club head as it approaches and impacts the ball.
*Force applied in the direction you want the ball to go
The Angle (up or down) at which the putter approaches and strikes the ball
*Upward gets the ball rolling immediately
The LEAN LOCK putting method pre-sets you to have perfect APA which makes striking pure putts virtually automatic.
With the shaft leaning forward so the putter rests flat to the ground, hold the putter with the trail hand only and the elbow bent as if you were going to putt with only that hand on the club. Choke down significantly on the grip with the shaft running up through the center of your palm so it is in line with your forearm.
The lead elbow should be bent and near the body at address. The lead hand and shoulder should be relaxed and passive, simply “along for the ride."
When the grip is correct, all four knuckles of the lead hand will be visible when looking downat address.
The LEAN LOCK Method will teach you how to strike a pure putt consistently and with confidence:
Creates multiple “locks” so that the wrists can’t break down at impact
Locks the leading arm to the putter with minimal pressure and no tension in that leading left side of the body
Patent-pending putter features minimize “operator” error
Produces straight-back-straight forward putting path
Controls clubface with no abrupt changes in loft occurring at impact
Minimizes face rotation during the stroke
Focuses energy along the intended start line through the entire forward putting stroke
Engages your innate hand-eye coordination
Stops unnecessary adjustments in your stroke
Improves confidence and putting consistency
MINIMIZING FACE ROTATION
The direction the putter face points at impact is by far the most important key to rolling the golf ball on the line you intended.
Testing date shows that a 15-foot putt will go in the hole as long as the face is less than 0.5 degrees open or closed at impact. Increase to 2.0 degrees open or closed at impact and even a 5-foot putt will miss.
According to data collected by PGA Professional and Lead Putting Instructor at TPC Sawgrass, Mike Shannon, PGA Tour Professionals typically range between 3 and 6 degrees of rotation during the back swing and the average amateur golfer has 12-14 degrees of face rotation.
Conquering face rotation will put you well on your way to becoming a great putter.
LEAN LOCK minimizes face rotation of the putter, without any conscious effort or manipulation, increasing the golfer’s ability to return the club face to square at impact
The quality and workmanship of LEAN LOCK putters is really impressive. The detailed milling and black oxide finish are professional grade, and the classic shapes combined with the white aiming lines make them easy to aim.

While there are no set height-to-putter-length rules, this chart will help you select the proper length LEAN LOCK Putter. Above all, choose a length that is comfortable!
To be in compliance with the USGA's rules on anchoring, the shaft must not extend past the elbow joint.
In general, your LEAN LOCK Putter should be about 8-9 inches longer than the traditional putter you've been using.
As long as the shaft extends at least one-half the way up your forearm, and not above the elbow joint, it will function properly and be legal according to the USGA's rules.
Brian Tennyson, a former PGA TOUR pro and successful serial entrepreneur, has unlocked the secret to great putting with his revolutionary new putting method.
He finished 29th on the PGA Tour money list in 1990, played in multiple U.S. Opens, U.S. PGA Championships and The Masters .
On August 13, 2021, Brian fired a course record 62 on his home course, Long Point Golf Course at The Amelia Island Club, with only 23 putts using LEAN LOCK APA Mallet-Proto 1.0 putter!
