How to make best use of my Putting Practice during Lockdown

[ScienceBoy]

This is what I have, not sure how to get the best out of it.

Here is my baseline from around 4 feet.

In my opinion, your backswing is too long and you slow down into the ball.
I would shorten your backswing by half

I thought a similar thing about my backswing but needed that confirmation, I will work on that for a bit.

Place a second ball 5 or 6 inches behind the first ball and stop your backswing before it hits the back ball. This will instinctively help you accelerate into the front ball.

To my non-professional eye, it looks like you're setting your feet and body before you set the putter, set the putter head first and then align your feet and body to that.

You need to put on shoes or else you will want to add half in inch to the putter when you start playing again

My pro switched me to a one third back and two thirds forward stroke many years ago to encourage me to accelerate through the ball, works well for me.
It also encourages a slight upwards movement through the ball as recommended by Harold Swash.

Didn't take long to rip your putting stroke to bits.....

Better not put mine up

I sort of wanted that to happen, I have now got a couple of things to work on!

I am glad people have recommed shortening backswing as I used to be “short back and through” but I have drifted away without realising, its only when you see it on video you realise!

Sadly I have a nasty cold so wasn’t able to put any advice into practice, maybe tomorrow if I am better.

I must say I really like the putt out thing, great feedback and works well with the putting rail. I’m also going to get a putting mirror so I can do some puttting without the rail but still check eye position.
