Golf--expert Ways To Immediately Extend Your Putting Skills By Justin Flowers You would think that putting should be the simplest part of your game. You're only trying to move the ball a couple of yards in most cases and putting looks like a simple movement. But for many players, putting is a source of endless frustration. A winning putting technique requires a smooth and precise movement and can only be achieved with consistent training.
There's really no such thing as a perfect putting technique. In the final analysis, the perfect putting technique is the swing that puts the ball in the cup every time. Even though there are limitless variations, most players utilize one of the three following techniques: the orthodox grip, the Langer grip, and the anti-yip grip.
A traditional putting technique starts with gripping the club with your palms facing each other. Your goal is to have your hands operating as one unit, not independently. Be as relaxed and free from tension as possible. The ball should be somewhat forward your stance. You absolutely must keep your eyes on the ball. As you putt, your hands should be passive. Envisage a pendulum controlled only by your shoulders. Visualize a triangle being formed by your arms and shoulders. Sustain that triangle all the way through your swing, from the backswing to the follow-through. You want the ball to roll without leaving the ground, so swing up and through the ball. Hold your follow-through and don't let your eyes lift too soon, but keep looking at the ground.
Another popular putting swing is the anti-yip putting technique. What in heaven's name are the yips? Many golfers suffer from small, uncontrollable muscle twitches-the yips-that can keep you from making a smooth stroke. In the case of putting, it's usually the left wrist that's the source of the problem. An anti-yip putting technique is a great way to deal with this problem. To try it, grip your putter with your left hand located under the right-hand. Position your wrist against the shaft of the club. This putting technique also helps by

dropping your left shoulder. Again, remember that the movement of your putting stroke should be controlled by your shoulders, not your arms or wrists, so train with this in mind.
Need even more support? Try the Langer grip. It was developed by Bernhard Langer. The Langer grip goes even further than the anti-yip putting technique. As with the anti-yip method, begin by gripping the putter with your left hand farther down the shaft than your right. But here's the difference: you actually grasp your left wrist with the fingers of your right hand. Maintain a light grip pressure and relax as much as possible. The Langer putting technique is most successful when you're making short putts.
Here are a few more tips for better putting: make sure that you start out with your eyes directly over the ball. Keep your eye line parallel to the target line. Maintain a stable, balanced stance. In your mind's eye, see the putter as an extension of your forearms. You're looking for a stroke, not necessarily a hit. The putter is swinging and the ball just happens to be in the way.
Many golfers struggle with the problem of looking up too soon. This is bad for your putting technique because when your head moves, your body turns at the same time. Do you consider yourself to be a disciplined golfer? Test yourself with this: the next time you putt, try keeping your head down until you hear the satisfying plop of the ball falling into the cup.
