Golf Tips to Make Those Putts. |
If you don't know that putting is the part of golf that can hurt your scorecard the most, we'll you do now. You need to be able to putt to shoot a lower score. There is no way around putting so it's important to learn the right techniques. It's almost impossible for me to teach you how to putt in an article. That's why I wrote 2 books on golf and golf tips to teach you every way to shoot lower scores because that is ultimately what everyone wants.
But I can tell you what to look for when you are purchasing a putter. When putting you don't want any wrist motion at all. The problem with the conventional short putter is that it allows for a lot of wrist action. I know that most of you at one point saw the long butter, the belly putter, and the thick grip and asked yourself 'What is that for"? Well, it's to stop wrist break. Those putters make wrist break virtually impossible. On the long putter your hands aren't together and your top hand is holding the club straight so wrist break is virtually impossible. On the belly putter your grip is the same as on a conventional putter, but since the putter is in your belly, it forces your wrist to stay still. The thick grip I never really touched or saw much on it but I would assume that it makes it more difficult to break your wrists.
Another thing to look for, which is just as important, is the loft in the club. You want loft on your putter, loft is your friend on a putter. Let me tell you why. When a ball is sitting on the green its sits down in a depression which causes the ball to pop out on your initial contact. When you have loft on your putter, generally around 4 to 5 degrees, it helps to get the ball out of the depression and rolling better. Ultimately, a good putt involves a good roll. In order to get a good roll out of the depression your putter needs loft. 4 to 5 degrees should be just about right.About AuthorAndrew Portela is a golfer known for his strategic mental aspect and often writes books on golf tips and golf lessons helping his fellow golfer shoot lower scores.
