Drill Instructions
Dial in your distance drill. Latest article in our Tips Series. Start by choosing a distance you want to train your speed over for example, 5ft 10ft or 15ft.
Position the Visio Mi Putting Template on to the ground and aligned in the direction that you want the ball to travel, ideally towards a hole on the practice putting green or a Visio Phantom Hole if training indoors.
Take x2 balls and place each one at opposite ends of the black printed lines on the surface of the template which represent the putter face angle and at the point you want to stop at during your backswing length.
In the graphic example which is shown below, see how the x2 balls have been positioned at the distances 6″ 9″ and 12″ at the black printed putter face lines in the backswing, this will help give you a reference for the length of stroke that is needed for the putt distance on the average green speed and using the average stroke tempo.
Training this way will help to develop a more consistent speed and distance control over these putt lengths.
Do the alignment lines on your putter enhance your accuracy, or could they be hindering your performance?
Most golfers use the lines on their putters to aim the face precisely along their chosen start line. This is especially common if you also use a line on your golf ball to assist with aiming. But have you ever considered whether these lines are actually benefiting you?
ou step up, address the ball with your putter, and make a smooth stroke, only to watch the ball veer off line like it had a mind of its own. You swear you aimed it right. But did you? For most golfers, the issue isn’t the stroke. It’s misalignment, starting the ball in the wrong direction from the very beginning.
Do you ever stand over a putt and second guess your read, only to watch the ball miss wide, breaking too much or not enough? You’re not alone. And there’s a chance, the problem isn’t your stroke, it’s the read.
Putting is often lost before the ball even moves. distance, slope (angle & gradient), grain and other factors can all influence how the ball rolls. If you misread those pieces of information, even a good stroke can send the putt off line.
