Ball Movement
May 16, 2010 by Admin
photo credit: danperry.com When a ball is at rest on the green, it tends to nestle down into the grass. The goal is to allow the putter to “lift” the ball from it's grassy bed and put “forward” motion on the ball (spin). If the ball is not lifted from it's position, it will jump and/or skid across the green. Also, if the ball is hit with reverse rotation, it will come to a stop much sooner.
If you hands are too far forward at impact, the loft of the club will be decreased. Reducing the loft unintentionally will not not create the proper forward spin and momentum. This will also make it more difficult for the clubface to lift the ball from it's grassy bed.
