Fundamentals Of Putting

As we all know, putting makes up the majority of the strokes that you will take in the golf course. Many amateurs do not even have a good idea of the putting fundamentals that you must have in order to make putts. Here is what you need to work on to improve your putting.

Putting Fundamental - Take your putting stance, you address the golf ball, the golf ball should be positioned equal to where the logo would be positioned on your left chest for a right handed golfer and positioned on your right chest for a left handed golfer. With this is forward golf ball position, the putter will not be descending but ascending through impact and the golf ball. The golf ball will be placed forward of the bottom of your swing arc. In addition, your arms should hang freely and hang straight down and not out. In addition, you should be able to take your address position and drop a golf ball from in-between your eyes. This ball should drop and hit the ball on the ground.

Putting Fundamental - Simply set up with sixty to seventy percent (again it is individual) of your weight on your left foot for right handed golfers or on your right foot for left handed golfers. When you make your putting stroke, your weight will not shift. It will stay in the same place. Again, setting your weight forward will make sure that the putt will be hit while you are in balance and you do not have has many moving parts.

Putting Fundamental - Finish your golf set up, as you look down at the golf ball, move your hands so they are just forward of the golf ball. As you make your putting stroke, your hands will return to this same position at impact and then through to your finish position. With your hands ahead of the ball at impact, the momentum of your putter is more likely to be moving forward towards the hole. In English this means your ball will be starting on the target line more often than not.
