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.
Not all missed putts are misreads, many miss because the ball never starts on the intended line.
Great putts don’t just finish in the hole, they start on the perfect line. And that’s exactly what Visio Putting Gates train you to master.
Want to make more putts? Focus on start line.
Controlling your start line is non-negotiable if you want to improve. It’s the one variable you can fully own and the one that influences everything else, from speed to green reading.
One of the most common questions golfers ask themselves when considering a new putter is, ‘Which style of putter do I need?’. Choosing the right putter is crucial for improving performance on the greens and lowering your scores.
If you pick up a putter and balance the shaft horizontally across your finger, notice if the head of the putter twists. Specifically, observe how much the toe of the putter head hangs down toward the ground. The amount of toe hang can vary from minimal to significant.
When it comes to putting in golf, one critical aspect often overlooked is putter face alignment. Even the smallest deviation, as little as one degree off line, can be the difference between sinking a putt or watching it slide past the hole.
