The next time you’re in your favorite golf super store, spend a little time watching participants on the artificial putting green. They will try a variety of putters looking for some magic, looking for a putter that will roll the ball in or close every time. And periodically, someone will leave the putting rug and head for the cash register. Will that new putter be the answer to ultimate putting success?
My guess is no, because I’ve been that person at the cash register with the brand new flat stick. The sobering fact remains that changing putting weapons doesn’t in itself make you a better putter. It might help, but if you are experiencing poor putting results, you had better look first at your putting technique.
Putting will always be the most individualistic part of the golf game. You have lots of choices of putter styles, putting grips, and putting methods. But if you are struggling with your putting, you absolutely should address your putting technique. Every good putter has solid putting fundamentals and you can’t buy those at the golf super store. The following sites will help you with your putting basics and help you become a better player.
