Placing is a skill that can be a great corrector on the course. If you can sink Putty with a consistency, it can hide a lot of holes in other places in the game.
It will become a great thrower – and requires the feeling of two separate skills. One is yours Ability to read greeneryand the second is the ability Hit the ball at the right speed. If you have one, but not the other, it doesn’t matter how clean your stroke is, you won’t do many puttts.
The beautiful thing in these two skills is that they are complementary skills. Your line must match the speed so that the ball can enter. This means that you can have a slightly different reading than a different golfanist, but you can both do the same, just on how you marry the line and speed.
In the film below, life Turtleneck top 100 teacher Peter Kostis explains how you can use this knowledge to make more Putt.
Speed ​​Trick to make more puttts
You can hit Putt with the “correct” line, but still not surround it. It’s because you have to get the line AND Speed ​​speed.
You can practice this skill by following the advice of Kostis. First, hit Putt, which has a lot of break and play way outside the hole. If it appears briefly, cut the reading in half, and then press Putt again.
“If you are always short, cut the reading in half,” says Kostis. “If you’re always long, double your reading.”
Exercise several times – doubling the reading or cut it in half – and find the speed matching the break. When you start marrying these two together, you’ll make more puttts in the blink of an eye.
