Hitting behind the ball when putting

[CVG]

does anybody know what causes me to hit behind the ball when putting? It's so annoying, it happens maybe 3 times in a round, and I have no idea what I do differently?
Is it moving the head or what?

Difficult to tell without seeing your putting stroke. Do you have a video of your stroke.

A few things to check.
Ball position centre of your stance or just a little forward.
Lower half very still (dont turn the hips)
Are your elbows bent alot?
How tall are you and how long is your putter?

 

[CVG]

No video sorry.
Ball position as you suggest.
No elbows not overly bent, I'm just under 6ft and putter (a trusty Ping) is 36in.
can't be sure about the lower half but I don't intentionally sway or anything like that.

Does your mobile phone have a video?

 

[CVG]

I think so, although I have never used it!

If you can film your stroke from face on and looking down the putt line from behind and then either post them on here or send them to me, I will be able to help more.
Failing that, try and keep your lower half still and just rock your shoulders.
You would think someone somewhere would invent a putting aid that works

OK I'll try my best and get something posted in the next couple of days.

thanks
