365 Days of Putting Help. 315-324


Lesson 315-"Hit with an ascending blow?" The more you hit up, the more you need to make mechanical compensations to start the ball on line.

 

Lesson 316-I have never heard or read a putting tip that applies to every golfer. If it doesn't work for you, it just wasn't meant for you.

 

Lesson 317-Problems in your putting stroke are rarely what is visually obvious. EX. You didn't miss the putt because of the position of your feet.

 

Lesson 318-Putting problems are personal. They never are a result of not conforming to a "better method". Fixing your way is the best way.

 

Lesson 319-A combination of shoulders, arms and hands power the stroke. Hips, legs, and feet balance the moving parts. Separate but equal.

 

Lesson 320-When your body is in motion it will seek a position of balance. A key factor in putter fitting is to find a balanced posture.

 

Lesson 321-Balanced posture? Start with shoulders over toes and hips over heels. Hard to do? Bend your knees a little. Good shock absorbers.

 

Lesson 322-Consistent strikes on the toe or heel of the putter? Poor balance at setup is probably the issue. Weight shifts while in motion.

 

Lesson 323-Postures forced by teaching methods rarely work for long. Create your set up based on vision, balance and body type. #NoBestWay

 

Lesson 324-Maintaining your balance is just another reason to fit the putter to you, rather than forcing your posture to fit the putter.
