Over the past few years now I have noticed that my lag putting has steadily gotten worse. I used to be really good and never had a problem with it (in my younger years....darn nerves) :nailbiting:. I'm starting to wonder if having the line on my ball to line up with is partially to blame on the long lag putts. Having that line has certainly helped me with the shorter putts but when they get longer than 20+ feet I'm usually way short. I'm starting to wonder if my concentration on the line is hurting my distance control even though I'm trying not to concentrate on it as much recently. I'm tempted on my next round when I get in that lag putt range of just putting the ball down and lining up just the putter to a spot in front of the ball and then swing to see if it makes a difference on my distance control.
Personally I get the feeling this is all just mental right now for me as my putting stroke has been really good with the TM DLL putter so I was wondering what everyones thought process is when lag putting. I visualize the 2 foot circle around the hole and when reading the green if it's uphill or downhill adjusting the circle to try and accomodate for that but usually come up short. I'm pretty sure it's just confidence I'm lacking on the longer putts so any thoughts from the THP family are appreciated.
