golf Pro’s Tip Drain More Putts with This Simple Best Putting Technique When nearly 40 percent of your shots are putts, you can’t afford to be anything less than a great putter. Improving your putting technique is the fastest way to cut your handicap down to size. It’s also the quickest way to break 80. But improving your putting technique is easier said than done. The first step doing so is developing a simple, repeatable putting stroke based on the basics. Do that, and you’re that much closer to breaking 80. Below is a 3-step putting exercise that teaches you a simple, repeatable putting stroke that will help you drain more putts than ever.
Step 1: Find your putting arm. Drop six or seven balls on the green. Then, putt the balls one arm only. Start with the right arm. Then use the left. This step tells you which arm is best for putting. Most right-hand people find that the right arm is their best pivotal point. And vice versa for left-handed putters. Use the arm that feels the most comfortable for putting. Step 2: Establish your grip. The grip you want to use is to hold the club in your putting hand with the fingers pointing down. Hold the club along your lifeline and then close the fingers up. You want the palm facing in the direction you’re going, with your thumb on top of the grip. It’s a simple way to grip the club that works every time.
Step 3: Develop your stroke. Using this simple grip, putt a few balls just to get a good feel for putting with one hand Do not worry about sinking putts just yet. Use the pivot point you established above to control your best putting technique. After practicing onehanded for a while, grip the putter with your other hand and try sinking some putts. Remember to use the pivot point stroke you developed in step 1. Keep practicing that way until your stroke is second nature. What makes this best putting technique so great—and so useful—is its simplicity. You move only one part of your body during the stroke. You’re not moving your hips or your shoulders—just your pivot point. This approach streamlines everything in your putting technique, making it easy to repeat the stroke.
