Putting Leave Distances

[Mel Smooth]

Such a simple method that I have no clue what you’re on about. Literally impossible to do!

Maintain tempo and determine the strength of the putt by focussing on the length of the backswing and the backswing itself. Once I start to swing the club towards the ball, I'm literally just maintaining that tempo and no longer thinking about pace or line (that is determined in the set up of course).

Personally, once beyond the beginner stage, it is pure instinct when on a real green (not practicing on the putting green).
I wouldn’t dream of concentrating on the length of my backswing or maintaining tempo when throwing someone a ball underarm. You just throw it and it goes roughly the right distance. Having swing thoughts over a putt is not for me.
