I concentrate on speed.
Speed is everything in putting...you can get the line all day long but without the right speed you won't make anything...and even with the proper speed and a line that was just a little off, then you leave easy 2 putts.
I line up three balls about 4 feet and roll them...I am looking to gage the speed...I want the ball to get to the hole put not more than a foot past, if they go in great...but that's not important.....once I have that speed I move out to 10 feet and do the same thing...and then finally I will take the three balls and place them a various spots and hit 20-25 footers....with these, I putt them out, because the last thing I want to hear when I walk off the green is the ball going in the cup.
I just focus on speed (10-60 feet) and make sure I'm rolling it straight. I don't putt towards a hole inside the should-make-range of 8 feet or thereabouts.
To clarify then... for putts inside of ten feet you putt towards a tee in the green? Or you avoid these putts entirely before a round, concentrating exclusively on longer lags?
I putt towards nothing. I line up the ball and want to see it rolling straight (ie the line on the ball going end over end). That's the "rolling it straight"-part. If I do that I know I've got those 4-6-8 footers down...and if you find the pace at 10 feet you've got it at 4, 6 and 8 too.
Listen to this man, he's pretty good with the flatstick.
Very interesting. Thanks for the quick reply, I may have to give that a shot next time I'm on the practice green.
No problem. I found that I didn't do myself any favours subjecting myself to the must-make-putts just prior to a round. It was just added pressure and put doubt in my mind if I missed one or two. Now I don't worry about them because I make them on the course and in tournaments.
Wow, I'm a slacker.
If I even putt before the round, I'll just putt one or two from about 5-15-25 feet intervals.
The one thing I will do us putt a few short ones before I go off. Positive connection with the ball dropping, and all...
Anyone ever tried sticking a tee in the ground and putting at it??? It focuses your eyes on a single point.
I've tried it and found it to be really helpful
Two or three lag pots to get the speed, then a few really short pots to hear the sound of the ball dropping in the hole.
If you start doing sex butters and more, and start missing, your confidence is shot.
Putts. Six footers. Thanks Siri.
Oh and by the way, Bridgestone Golf rules!
