Use Two Balls to Square the Putter Head
Squaring the putter head is to fundamental to good putting. Here’s one of our shorter putting drills to help you square the putter head.
Single Point Putting Lesson
This is a single point putting lesson focusing on just one aspect of putting. Single point lessons are focused and designed to improve a particular aspect of the putting game quickly.
The Two Ball Putting Drill
The drill is very simple and there’s no learning curve. Simply take two balls side by side and attempt to putt them at the same target. If both balls travel the same distance, the putter head is striking squarely.
If the inside ball goes farther, then the putter head is not square and is striking the inside ball first. If the outside ball goes farther, then the outside of the putter head is striking first.
To improve, modify this one aspect of your putting routine until you get it right and then repeat and repeat to burn it into your muscle memory.
Too Easy to Be Effective?
Simple? Yes. Easy? Yes. Effective? Oh Yes!
The whole point of short single point lessons is to help you improve your putting game fast. Short targeted putting tips and drills can make a big difference, but must be applied. I urge you to go to the putting green before your round. Just a few minutes on the practice green saves me at least two strokes every round. Try this quick drill.
