Excess Movement When Putting
February 18, 2009 by admin
photo credit: Two Roses Ever wonder why you missed your last 4 foot putt? Presuming your alignment was correct, you missed because of premature body movement. In other words you may have “looked up.”
Putting is a true art and the keynote to all good putters is that they remain completely motionless until well after the ball has been struck. Even the slightest movement (other than the arms and shoulders) can throw your ball off line. Most of the time this occurs when the player is overly anxious to see where the putt is going. If you are aligned correctly, there is no need to look up.
Tip: Try practicing those five and six footers with your eyes closed and just listen for the putt to drop. Doing this repeatedly should give you the kind of control you need to become a really great putter !
