So, your putting stroke should be fingers down, sorry your putting grip should be fingers down to remind you in your stroke that your wrists are going to stay quite still. The normal grip you create is encouraging your hands to release and to work and that’s the last thing you really want in a putting stroke. Here I’d like you to take your bottom hand and point the index finger down towards the ball and the club head, and take the index finger of your top hand and just lay it over those fingers there, either over the finger nails or around them, but I’m going to place mine over the finger nails.Īnd a grip of that nature or something similar to that is encouraged because it will tell your hands that your hands need to do a different job. We have quite a narrow stance, with the feet facing straight forwards, a little bit of knee flex and try and hang your arms quite straight and straight down, place your left hand for the right-handed golfer on the top of the grip and your right hand underneath, but this time there is no need to link the fingers together, we can actually make a little bit of a different grip. So, when we set up to the golf ball, our set up reflects, how much control we actually need. Control of your line but also control of your distance. The putting technique that you need to use is very different from your full swing technique because it isn’t at all about how much power you can create, it’s much more about how much control. So, try and always aim to take two putts your first putt goes close, your second putt goes in. If you are trying to be too aggressive with your first putt and you’re always trying to get your first putt to go in the hole, the risk is, that you would then miss your next putt and then you’ve taken three putts or God forbid four putts. Your first putt on the green to get the ball close to the hole and your second putt to get it in. When you are putting, the key to being a good putter is to only ever take two putts. So, it’s a massively underrated part of the game by most people. It’s not about hitting the golf ball with all your power as far as you can, but it probably accounts for round about 40% of the shots that end up on your scorecard. Putting is a massively main part of the game when you play the golf course, but it’s not necessary the glamorous part of the game. Here’s a little introduction to proper putting.
