If you watch all the best putters in the world, you’ll notice their hands and arms are connected throughout the stroke. There’s no break point between any of the integral parts of the stroke. Everything moves together as one.
If you watch recreational golfers at the local muni, you’ll notice quite the opposite. Their arms become disconnected from their shoulders, and the wrists get flippy through the stroke. This makes consistency tough.
It’s always better to be like the pros — especially when it comes to putting. They’re deadly inside 10 feet — the money zone — making 88 percent of their looks on average. And much of their success comes from superb technique.
