Golf is often about finding a balance between established techniques and what works for you as an individual.
Check out this unusual placement method and tell us if you’ve tried something similar.
There isn’t much wrong with this in terms of basics even if it looks weird.
The basics of placement
Finding balance in your feet puts you in good skeletal alignment. But, without getting too technical, it helps you stay fit and relieve stress by removing stress from your entire body. If you start putting your stroke on hard, uneven or uneven surfaces, your ability to hit soft putts suffers.
All good putters hit the ball with an upward swing: anywhere between two and four degrees. Placing the ball slightly forward with your sternum in the center of your balance ensures that it passes under the arc and rises slightly.
Positioning will vary, but it’s all about stability and comfort. With your knees slightly bent, lean your hips down until your toes touch the top of your kneecaps, and grip your putter. As you will see, your posture will keep your arms from bending too much, but they are not arrow straight either.
The feel of the putter head during the stroke should be one of letting it fall. Gravity is the force behind all acceleration. When you watch golfers try to swing their putters, the clubhead turns on or off. Not only do they have poor distance control, but they also lack good steering.
It’s bad advice for your overall swing, but good for putting greens. Most players get out of position as soon as they hit the putt. You should remain relaxed in your stance long after the ball has passed and the putter head has stopped moving completely.
