Completely Re-Vamped my Putting

Took a close hard look at my putting over the past few days and come to the conclusion that my technique needed sharpening up.

Watched some good todays golfer putting videos and incorporated those changes.

Grip - Have the back of my left hand pointing at the target. And the back of my right pointing in the opposite direction so my palms are facing each other. This helps keep the putter blade at right angles to the target line.

Arms - Moved them into my sides rather than hanging down. This locks them in so prevents the arms getting involved in the swing. So as you rock you're shoulders back and forth it's just that turn that swings the putter.


Also, by getting my arms into my sides it's got my eyes over the target line, so a much better aim.

Ball position - Moved it more forward towards my left foot. This gets the putter just hitting the ball as it rises so gets a better role.

And finally, changed the length of my stroke, at least on the shorter putts. Shorter takeaway which promotes a better follow through after the strike. This gets around any deceleration in the down-swing and gives a much better roll.

So not much changed then !!!

Tried all this on the putting green before yesterdays round for about 15 mins. Felt weird but much more consistent strike and much more confident on shorter putts.
