Many people say that Putting is all about “feel”. There has to be some magical “feel” inculcated in the process as to ‘put’ it in style. In this article, we shift our focus towards the tricks and techniques of putting in style. Read on.

Imagination works! Close your eyes and try to imagine playing golf. Sounds crazy? Well, we say that this is one of the best techniques to hone your putting skills. For this, you don’t need a ball, just a putter. (Sounds crazier but it surely works!) Stand on the practice green and move into your normal putting position. Now, personify the ball on the green. Line it up with the hole as you do in the real case. Next, swing the putter exactly how you do in the presence of a ball. Close your eyes and repeat the stroke. How do you feel? Feel better? Yes! That’s the trick!

Start swinging your putter gently. FEEL the pressure of the grass by pulling on your putter delicately. Keep on doing the backward and forward swings. Feel the delicacy of the grip you need on your putter. Maintain the same gentle grip throughout the exercise. During the entire exercise, you should not squeeze hard on the club. Again, practice this movement with your eyes closed.

After doing the above exercise, you will be able to play with the ball. So, place a ball on the ground, keep in mind the movements during your exercise and execute. Result- you will be actually putting in style!

Putting in the game of Golf highly influences your scores. So, in order to do it in the best way, you need to combine the fundamentals of putting and your own style of executing the task. Here are a few tips to best accomplish the task and thus score high.
How to hold the putter?
Hold your hands closely while handling your putter. If your hands are at distance, this may lead to inconsistency. Try the reverse overlap grip technique followed by tour players- keep the forefinger of your left hand off the putter and rest it on the little finger of your right hand.

Grip pressure is as important as your grip. Apply the pressure lightly, rather than tightly.

How to look at the position of the ball?
Keep your left eye stared over the ball. This gives you a better idea of your putt’s intended line of travel.

How to move the putter?
If you are undergoing practice session, place another ball behind the ball that you intend to hit on the green. Then, hit the second ball and stop. This helps you to roll the first ball into the hole.

What should be the distance?
Don’t stand too far from the ball. This will lead to an improper stroke. Standing too close is also not recommended because this will force the backstroke outside of the target line. So, maintain a moderate distance from the ball which is neither too far nor too close.

What should be the position of your hands?
Keep your hands up front. To ensure a better roll, keep the hands slightly ahead of the ball.

What should be your body posture?
The body movement should be minimal while putting. Your head and shoulders should stay in place and not swaying.

Follow the fundamentals, practice well and see the results- the ball will actually start to fall frequently!
