More than 40% of the strokes in a round of golf are made on the putting green with the putter this is where most golfers get the most frustrated. In order to establish a ball strike that is consistent with the golf ball's sweet spot, a golfer should take the time to practice their pre shot routine. Here are the top ten tips to work on to help any golfer bring reduce their scores and get rid of some of those three putts.
1. Left below right: Alignment and comfort are critical but the shoulders must be kept aligned and square and towards the direction of the line that the golfer wants the ball to roll. If the golfer is right handed, they should try to keep their left hand below their right. This will help to keep the golfer's shoulders square during impact. In order to get the full value of the stroke, the golfer might have to adjust to a putter that has a shorter shaft.
2. Routine procedure: It's absolutely essential to establish an identical pre shot routine. While other golfers are putting but not in their eye line, the golfer should check the line, address the line somewhat away from the ball, check the alignment, practice swing to get the feel of the pace, and the walk to the ball. They should take one look then swing smoothly through and back.
3. Fringe benefits: The golfer should imagine the hole is some feet further from them when putting from the fringe of the green, and make sure they get a good roll by following through.
4. Error on the professional side: The golfer should always allow for more break than can be seen when using a curling putter. Professional golfers know that a ball that is shallow and weak has less chance of dropping into the cup than on that is dying into the hole from side.
5. Finding the sweet spot: To find the sweet spot the golfer should hold up the putter up between thumb and finger tap the face of the putter with a coin. The putter head will pendulum as opposed to twisting. The golfer should mark that spot on the top of the putter head so they the golfer can see it when addressing the ball. If the ball is struck on the opposite side of the ball, the ball will roll and generate over spin.
6. Dustbin for distance: Pace is considerably more important than line from a longer range. The golfer should try to concentrate on rolling the ball to within an imaginary circle that is same width as the lid of a dustbin. The golfer shouldn't forget that from twenty feet, two putting is always a good thing.
7. Short range practice: The golfer should concentrate on consistency and good technique when they are on the practice green by making a number of four foot putts. This will provide the golfer with confidence as opposed to randomly trying long range putts that ruin the golfer's focus and never go in anyhow.
8. Reading the lines: A lawn mower will provide a clue as to the pace on greens that are faster. A lighter shade of grass means that the lawn was mown away from the golfer which will result in a surface is somewhat faster than the darker shade of grass and will take more borrow or break.
9. Ball between the eyes: Some of the better putters have their eyes over the ball. In practice the golfer should take their stance and drop and address a ball from between your eyes. If the ball is in the proper position, it should fall on top of the head of the putter.
10. Palm to palm grip: Prior to softly gripping the handle of the putter, the golfer should dangle their arms in front of them and clap their hands together with their palms facing each other. They should make sure that the back of their left hand follows through on the line on which they want the ball to roll.
