Re: poor putting

Hi John.

I use a heavier putter than the average player, and short putts can be deadly - unless I grip down. By gripping the club further down the shaft, it's easier to control the length of my backswing, to ensure I can accelerate through.

Just a thought - sorry that it's not a drill.


Greg J Willis has a drill involving tees, and another one I've heard of is to take the putter back to your instep, and see how far the putt goes. Then to your big toe, then your baby toe, then the outside of your foot. Do this on flat and level, then adjust for slope and break.

A new highlight: Golfing the home course on Christmas Day.

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.

For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.
