Placement routines are crucial to your success on green. Developing your own daily routine will help you build confidence and consistency in the game. By following these five keys, you can increase the chance of rolling the first putter against the hole and hopefully sinking some more putters in the process.
Feel free to use these keys to find the right content for your game. Remember, consistency is key. Once you find a valid routine, stick with it.
1. Evaluate putter
The first step in any good placement routine is to evaluate length, slope, and elevation variations. Having this information will help you understand the line, speed and damage of the putter. And, you don’t have to wait to start green to start evaluating putters. As you go toward green, pay attention to the inclination of green, which may be a useful angle to read about green. Look for extremes and lows to get a piece of land.
Once you are in green, measure the average length of the putter. Consider whether the putter is uphill or downhill, as this will affect your speed. Uphill putters usually require longer backstroke, while downhill putters require shorter strokes.
For longer putters, distance control is key. On putters of medium and short lengths, the ability to read and rest is more important. Focusing on side slopes, you can evaluate with your feet, a technology called Aimpoint, or with Golflogix (such as Golflogix), the tool provides players with data on the Greens’ travel level.
2. Have a realistic practical stroke
When you practice, make it as realistic as possible in size and rhythm. Many good putters glance at the target in doing so to collect distance information intuitively. Your backstroke is the distance controller, so it is designed to replicate the same stroke length required for the actual push rod.
3. Aim the putterface accurately and stably
After collecting your information and doing a few exercises, focus on the putterface where you want to start. This is especially critical for shorter putters, where accurate face alignment is key.
Once aiming at the push rod, place your hand on the grip. When you finish setting this will stabilize the face and prevent distortion or misalignment.
4. Adjust body and ball position
Now your pusher face has been aimed and stabilized, adjusting your body and feet. Make sure your arms are naturally hanging from your shoulders and check that the ball is in place correctly. Your feet should be placed so that the line passing through the toes is parallel to the aiming line of the pusher face.
5. Last look – Repeat your rehearsal
After the setup is complete, please finally view the target. Then, look back and make sure you solve it completely. When you perform a stroke, repeat the same rhythm and length you practiced previously and keep your body and head throughout the exercise.
