I was always a pretty good putter from an early age. Putting was just something I practised a lot when I was at the club, whether that was as a junior spending a lot of time on the putting green or when I was working in the shop and had a break. I quickly picked up the natural feel of putting and was able to visualise putts going in, which I think is key. Putting has always been an aspect of the game I have really enjoyed and I hope my insight will help you become more effective with the fl at-stick this season.
Different Strokes
In today's game of golf there is no right or wrong. If you look at the strokes of some of the best putters in the world, you’ve got left hand below right, right hand below left, long putters, short putters, claw grips, fingers down one side and so on.
There are so many different styles in the world's top 50. For instance, Tommy Fleetwood putts very differently to Justin Rose. Justin uses a different putter to other guys on tour and you’ve got Adam Scott using the long putter. There is no perfect technique. The key is to be comfortable in your style. To be able to do this, you have to visualise the putt, read your line and pace and then make the stroke. How you do the last bit is up to you.
