The Art of Good Putting
The best putters have their eyes over the ball, a fairly wide stance, grip the putter with the lightest amount of pressure possible and rock the shoulders back and through. The idea is to get the putter to swing up and down the ball to target line which although sounds obvious is actually where most people go wrong as they will take the putter round in an arc and then use the hands to roll the face back on line, a common reason for lack of distance control as well as poor direction.
Drill Number 1 - On the practise green, put 2 clubs on the ground (see video) parallel to each other, a putter head's width apart and pointing at the hole. Try and make the smoothest stroke you can whilst keeping the putter running up and down between the line of the clubs.
Drill Number 2 - At home try practising your putting stroke in the hallway. With your head against the wall and a hard back book between your knees try to make a smooth stroke with the toe of the putter against the skirting board. It is surprisingly difficult to keep your head and legs motionless and still keep the putter running straight along the wall, but with patience and practise the stroke will improve. Another very simple drill but one of the best. Enjoy, Will.
