Aim The Putter Correctly

Nick Clemens, 01 February 2010 07:05

We all hate missing putts. But what’s the main reason this irritating occurrence weaves its way into our rounds so regularly?

Roll your putts on line

Kiran Matharu, 07 December 2009 13:16

Do you suffer from… 1. Putts hit frequently off line. Why does this happen? You’re hitting putts off line because you have an inconsistent putting stroke. Your body is too involved and you have too much hip rotation and head movement. To combat this, your hands tend to become active to try and square the clubface. The Fix: 3 checkpoints – ...

Learn What Straight Is With Rory McIlroy

Rory McIlroy, 08 September 2009 10:20

I spent some time with putting coach Paul Hurrion recently and that has been very useful. We broke my stroke down to the basics and then just tightened everything up, working on my core stability. I like to set my palms square to the target line before gripping the club, so that my forearms are parallel. You don’t want one ...

Accelerate To Hole Out With David Leadbetter

David Leadbetter, 02 September 2009 14:26

On short putts, amateurs tend to have too long a backstroke and then decelerate through impact. This causes inconsistency in the stroke’s rhythm and tempo and a lack of control over distance and direction. For putts of, say, six feet and closer, your general rule should be to make a short, accelerating stroke. Experiment with trying to halve the length ...

Should You Forward Press With Phil Mickelson

Phil Mickelson, 02 September 2009 14:07

Although the forward press in putting is a matter of preference, it has always been my style to use one, and I recommend you give it a try. By nudging your hands toward the target a couple of inches before starting your takeaway, you'll find it easier to return at impact with your hands ahead of the ball -- a ...

Stop your left wrist breaking during the putting stroke

Scott Cranfield, 26 June 2009 14:28

A common fault with golfers on the putting green is allowing their hands to do too much of the work during the putting stroke.

If ...

Align Your Eyes Correctly For Perfect Putting

Adrian Fryer, 11 June 2009 14:30

If you're missing a lot of putts and not too sure whether it's your aim to blame it may be because you don't know how to align your head and eyes correctly to view the putt. Let's not forget that our eyes are designed to look straight ahead at the horizon and not look straight down as required for putting. To make ...

Basic Putting Stance

Adrian Fryer, 22 May 2009 17:00

The purpose of the putting stance is to provide stability, so that the upper body can rock the putter back and through with no movement from the lower half. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, bend over from the waist with a little knee flex and tuck your elbows into your sides. The eyes must be positioned over the ...

Putting Grip

Adrian Fryer, 22 May 2009 16:30

The putting grip is not for power like a full shot, it's designed for control, for stability and to improve your feel. As a result the way you hold the putter is completely different from the way you grip an iron or a driver. TG Top 12 Teacher Adrian Fryer shows you how to place the putter correctly in your hands ...

Putting Aim

TG Top 12 Teacher Adrian Fryer, 22 May 2009 12:00

In order to improve your aim on the putting green it is important to get your eyes positioned directly over the ball. If your head is too close or too far away from the ball this can distort your view of the putt and make green reading hard.

Long Iron Putting Drill

Dan Frost, 18 May 2009 15:00

Two Thumb Putting Grip

Johan Edfors, 05 May 2009 13:25

I had a tendency to get open in the shoulders which would lead to me pulling putts. I tried cross-handed for a while and that squared them up nicely, but it never felt comfortable.
