Golf Putting Technique - Your Shortcut to Good Golf Putting Strokes
Golf Putting Technique – Your Shortcut to Good Putting Strokes
The three things in that most aggravate golfers about putting are: 1. Lag putting (not being able to get the ball within two feet of the hole on a long putt) 2. Three putting, and 3. Missing very short putts (less than 2 feet), sometimes called the yips.
One reason why you may have had a good round of putting one day and a bad day the next is because the ball was not at the ideal position in your stance.
There are always exceptions in putting technique but, in about 95% of all cases, it is critical for your eyes to be directly over the line of the putt towards the hole.
Another way to look at it is to imagine a straight line drawn about 3 feet before the ball, right through the ball and directly to the hole. You want your eyes to be right over this
line.
Many teachers also advocate placing your eyes directly over the ball, but this is personal preference. This putting technique increases the chances of hitting a solid, straight putt every time.
How wide your stance is, or how much you bend over the ball at address is really a personal issue, and you should do whatever is most comfortable. Many great putters have a shoulder width stance while some take a wider or even a narrower approach.
I would advise that, if you have a longer putt (e.g. 40 ft. +), you should stand more upright with a slightly narrower stance because you’ll be able to see the line of the putt better and you’ll be able to make a longer, more fluid stroke this way.
For long putting technique, whether you have a 30 ft. putt or a 75 ft. putt, the procedure you should go through to get that first putt within the 2 ft. range is the same.
