Putting techniques are very individual. Decide on your best putting method and stick with it!
Here are five things that all good putters do:
- 1. They practice putting a lot! (QUALITY REPETITION)
- 2. They have GOOD ALIGNMENT and EXCELENT DISTANCE CONTROL.
- 3. In their “mind’s eye”, good putters VISUALLY see the ball track into the cup before every putt.
- 4. They maintain a LIGHT GRIP PRESSURE throughout their entire stroke.
- 5. They create a “PENDULEM” movement with NATURAL ACCELERATION for tempo.
Learn from good putters, but commit to your own personal style. As the saying goes, “Be yourself, everyone else is already taken.”
