In golf, putting is the final step in completing a hole. Putting can make a world of difference between a good round and a horrible round of golf. Good golf putting techniques make you able to get your ball into the hole with a minimum number of strokes. Putting is a difficult technique, so one requires a lot of practice to master it. In addition to mastering the golf putting techniques you need to read the golf green as well. While reading the green you should take into consideration the slope of the green, the length of the grass and the speed and direction of the wind. This helps you in deciding how much force you need to put on your shot.
You should maintain a still and relaxed body if you want to putt well, and use a Pendulum like swing only with your arms and your shoulders. In order to be able to improve your putting technique, follow the following steps:
1. Golf Putting Grips play a very important role in your overall putting technique. You should grip your club using either a customized overlapping grip or a cross handed grip, whichever is easy for you. The cross handed grip is best for you if your wrist bends as you hit the ball. While putting you may stand upright or may slightly bend according to your comfort, but you should ensure that you can freely move your arms. Here is a golf putting tip. Some young golfers have difficulty in keeping their hands and wrists steady during Putting. They will find it useful to use a long shafted Putter.
2. How to putt a golf ball well? Follow this golf putting drill. Start with your ball in line and make sure you are looking down directly at the ball. Use your judgment to read the green so that you can determine the speed and force that you will place on your shot. The Putter should be about ten inches away from the ball. Try and take your Putter straight back from the ball and swing it straight through. This increases the chance of the Putt heading in the right direction. Your follow-through should also be the same as your backswing. For example, if at the start you were about fifteen inches from the ball, your follow through should also be about fifteen inches. Distance control is the main trick in the putting stroke. Always try to practice the back swing and the forward swing with different distances. By doing so, you will get to know how far the ball will move on the ground when a swing of a certain length is applied to it and improve your putting technique.
To sum up, golf putting practice is of paramount importance for a good putter. Blend your time on the Driving Range with adequate time on the practice greens to get adequate golf putting practice.
