I was giving a putting lesson the
other day and thought of a new way to describe breaking putts. Let's see if this
will help you with your putting!
A golfer always putts a ball
straight down a certain path. There is a point at which the ball falls
off that straight line and curves into the hole (hopefully, if speed and
accuracy were both matched). Often times I see players suggest to putt
the ball to a point exactly left or right of the
hole. Since the putt won't travel to that spot and take a 90
degree turn into the hole left or right, focus back on that line where you
think the ball will lose speed and fall towards the hole. THAT becomes
your focus point -- get the ball rolling at the proper speed but
just to that point before it falls off and towards the hole. It's a small
window to get both matched perfectly but when you do, you'll be making more
putts that day!
