Becoming a better putter

[Oddsocks]

I’ve struggled with lag putting for a long while and a +4 player recently said to just focus on consistently hitting the middle of the putter.

Consistently long - hit it softer
Consistently short - hit it harder.

As long as it’s consistent you know what you’re working with, I’ve been working on this for three months and it definitely helps

Do you have a standard grip on the spider?

I’ve probably tried every drill, hit a billion puts, lessons, videos, books etc over the years and the biggest improvement I’ve noticed is by fitting with a chunky big superstroke grip

Have a proper putting lesson. Preferably with a coach that has/uses Capto (Trackman for putting). It will be a revelation.

What works for ME

Aimpoint so I am happy I have a good read
Working on my start line (putting gates)
One ball holing out from 2-5 feet on different holes
Making 10 consecutive 3 footers. Miss and start again
Practice putting from 30-40 feet and aim to 2 putt every time

Same here actually but the Winn Jumbo Pistol is mine. Worth trying out a few in a shop, if it feels perfect in your hands you will certainly putt better.

As I said i have had 2 x 45 minutes with a dedicated putting coach, using samlab and other devices.
We worked on set up and tempo and in the second lesson my tempo was much more consistent so I've made progress there.
The next thing was i was hitting up on the ball to much so we made a set up change which improved that massively.

Perhaps ive jsut had a few bad rounds and need to get used the the speed of the greens with my new tempo
