Re: Putting looking at the hole not the ball

I've been putting looking at the hole not the ball for about three years now. From the first time I tried it I found it helped me with my distances. Most of my long putts were coming within a foot of the hole whereas before trying this I would definately be three putting from anywhere outside of 10 feet. I had never been a good putter(not enough time spent on the practice green) but this method knocked a good seven strokes of my game on the local nine hole course. On putts between 5 and 10 feet I found myself making at least 50% more then before and putts inside of 5 feet I would nail almost everytime. This method has helped my game greatly helping me come from a 12 handicap down to around 5.

Having said that, it's not for everyone. My brother tried it and immediately went back to the more traditional style.
