When putting from long range, a lot of amateur golfers will involve their upper body in the stroke in a bid to try and get the required distance.

Limit hand action when putting

Gareth Johnston, 16 August 2010 11:30

When the wrists are too active in your putting stroke, you tend to flick a the ball, which makes it difficult to control the distance of your putts. This can often be caused by the set-up position. When the hands are too high up on the putter handle, this creates an angle in the left wrist. This encourages the wrists ...

By using the analogy of a rolling tyre, it’s ...

Choose the right putter

Expert Gareth Johnston demonstrates how, when using a face-balanced putter, the optimum stroke is to take the putter head straight back and sweep it ...

Distance control

Gareth Johnston, 09 August 2010 09:18

The best way of maintaining a good sense of distance control on all of your putts is to keep the length of your backswing with the putter the same as the length of your follow-through. There are certain routines you can get in to that will guarantee you consistency with your distance control. For example, once you’ve taken your regular ...

Sort your grip

Gareth Johnston, 09 August 2010 09:14
