How to PUTT BETTER?
1. The putter shaft should be in line with the forearms following the same plane as your arms. This allows the putter shaft to consistently move together within the stroke. He adds that you must grip the putter in the palm of the hands instead of the fingers.
2. Your hands are now positioned directly under your shoulders as you bow forward from the hips as the upper body faces the ground. With the hands under the shoulders will stay clear of the upper body. It helps if you have a slight amount of elbow bend to relieve tension in the arms and hands.
3. Your eyes should come to rest over the ball and secure your eyes to the ball. As you check your target line your eyes are on the line or just inside of that line.
4. Your weight should be balanced, when your eyes are over the ball position your feet the correct distance from the ball so you feel the weight in the middle of your feet. If you are too close your weight will be on the heel, it too far you will feel the weight on your toes.5. Your putter shaft should be 90 degree angle to the ground. Don’t lean the putter shaft forward or back at address that changes the loft of the putter, you want the putter blade to be square or 4 degree as that is what is needed to get a proper roll.
If one follows all these direction in your putting set up you will move the putter in a small arc back and through the ball. This is recommended instead of straight back and through. Keep this arc small with no extra movement of the shoulders. If you follow all these rules in set up for your putting stroke you will become a better putter and lower your score.
