One of the keys to improving your putting is to make sure that you don't break your wrists during your follow through. Having a solid follow-through will increase the accuracy of your putts and help you eliminate 3-putts. Here is a drill that will help eliminate "breaking" or "cocking" your wrists while putting. In this drill, you will focus your attention on the hole rather than your ball in order to "train" your wrists and arms to maintain a solid follow through. Begin by addressing the ball about 10 feet from the hole while holding the putter in both hands (for Natural Golfers use the Natural Palm Grip with your right hand). Now putt the ball while only looking at the hole, not the ball. There is no need to look at the ball because you are relying on the natural ability of your right palm to aim the putter. Now, as you swing through the putt, concentrate only on the hole and on making sure that your right palm (for right handed players) moves through the ball and directly toward the hole.You should almost feel as if you are tossing the ball underhand toward the hole. Be sure to concentrate on the hole?this will help you maintain focus and keep you from "slapping" at the ball and breaking your wrists. |
