any good putting drills for indoors

[markgs]

Does anyone know some good putting drills for indoors, firstly i have no carpet in house wooden floor so i bought a 6ft mat that has a hole in middle and you put up a ramp then it returns to you but im finding it does more damage than good as you have to hit it hard to get it up the hill then on the course you blast the ball to hard anyone know a good mat or drill any help will be great

Put your head up against the wall with the putter against the skirting board and practice your stroke

That's genius

In our barn I just have a roll of thin carpet, with one of those putting machine things that fires the ball back at you. The carpet reacts surprisingly like a green, but it is very thin. Obviously it's only good for straight putts, but if you play 5 putts at 1', 5 putts at 2' et cetera, and if you miss you start again, it keeps the stroke nice and straight

I have quite a "short" pile carpet and I push two chairs together to make a "hole" between the two chair legs and putt from 5 points at increasing distance away - when I miss, I start the whole thing again!

Use the matt but instead of having the ramp up to the hole, leave it flat and putt to roll the ball over a 5p piece.

I think you should work on your putting on this mat but not focus on trying to 'hit' the ball.
Distance is controlled through the length of your putting stroke, not by how hard you are trying to hit the ball.
The backswing and follow through should be equal in length (and they always will be if you control the shot with your arms and shoulders, with the help of gravity as well as keeping your wrists passive - think of a metronome)
you also want to complete the backswing in one second and have completed the follow through in one second (this is the same no matter how long the stroke is).

Work on this, trust me it is flawless.

If you want a 10 minute demonstration - go to youtube and type in David Ledbetter putting videos. There is a very strong demonstration on there.
