Learning How to Putt

After taking a close look at my stats it's very clear that putting is the area I stand to improve the most. On my very best rounds I average over 33 putts per round. Over the last year I would estimate I have spent less than 4 hours practicing my putting. This has to change so I'm hoping to get obsessed with working on and around the greens.

  1. Thanks. I've tried that and everything else. Last night I started standing closer to the ball. Will test the new stroke today at Radisson.

  2. You are most likely hitting the ball on the upswing. In order to create consistency in my lag putting, I had to work on making a consistent strike on the ball. Try working on catching the ball right when the putter reaches the bottom of it's arc. Maybe move the ball back an inch or two. This should help.

  3. Hi Christo, I have the same issue as you "had" … way too many putts and spenmt money on a TM spider putter with fat grip to try and fix it – not the answer – so after watching your simple video it makes sense ! so am back to my olf fave, odyssey tri hot blade … but i would love to have had a tad more commentary from you – what were you looking to feel or change – watching your stroke it "looks" a tad arms rather than shoulders but does look consistant and repeatable – makes sense tho

  4. Putting is about line and distance. I believe it doesn't make much difference what you putt with, these two factors are what matter. With that said, I just changed from a Ghost Spider putter to an Odyssey center-shafted, 2-ball Backstryke putter. I feel confident with the Odyssey, it's much better for my touch after one practice round.

  5. might not help, but what really improved my putting was stopping taking practice strokes and instead just reacting to the target and n0t getting to hung up on mechanics. pick your line, confirm it and go. what how kids putt, total freedom just target orientated! good luck and may i say your videos are an inspiration!

  6. Have you tried practicing like you play… every putt you take your time to line up- check your line – look at the hole, basically your pre-shot routine for every putt.
    Try it maybe for a few days, and I think you might see the improvement on the course
