Perfect Your Putting

Putting more or less makes up three-fourths of all shots in golf. It is ironic then that the goal of a great game is putt as little as needed. You can achieve that goal by making sure each putt you make ends in victory. Here are some tips on how to improve your putting game. Most of which you will find in the ‘How to Break 80 and Shoot like the Pros’ course.

A Great Putt Warrants a Terrific Stance and an Impeccable Grip

When you putt, you need to have a good grip of the club and you also need to have the right stance.Benefit from a comfortable grip. The Reverse Overlap Grip is popular with countless golfers. If that’s not the grip for you, get hold of something else. When gripping make sure that the palm of your dominant hand and the back of the other hand are in line with the hole.. Reading the green for breaks is vital too. There are more practical tips on this topic in the simple golf swing review.

When standing ensure that your feet are a foot or so apart. Make sure that that your stance takes into account the position of the ball. To get the exact stance, stand so that ball is at the ball is between your left foot and the middle of halfway point between your two feet. Square your shoulders and make certain its parallel to the target line.

No more than the Upper Half of Your Body should Move

In a good putt, only your arms and shoulders need to move. Keep the lower half stationary. This makes for a smooth putt. It is also essential not to putt with your wrist, but to putt with your arms and shoulders.

Learn to Read the Green

No individual green is free of breaks and angles. Often, a break or two interrupts the path to the hole.. Use the breaks to help you make the right putt. If, for example, the green breaks right, hit the ball slightly to the left. The distance between the ball and the hole should reflect in your putting strength. This is covered also in the Pure Point Gold Swing Book.

Last but not least, you have to learn how important practice is. You are not expected to learn anything in a single day. You’ll get better if practice more habitually. Also, try and concentrate on the putt alone and not on making the shot. You’ll get better results when you do that.
