Last week a tour player came down to my place to work on his golf swing. He made the cut at the FEDEX, but came down immediately following his last round before heading home out west.
We worked for a couple of hours on basic principles of the golfswing such as prelimenary address, hinging, and going down and out to full extension.
Before he left, I asked him some things about putting. Afterall, he is known as a great putter and he's been on tour for 20 or so years. This is what he said:
Concentrate on the "whole" ball during the stroke. Alot of us tend to watch the putterhead move back. If you do this you will not putt well.
The average putter length on tour is 34 inches.
Most of the great putters putt with their hands closer rather than farther away from their body.
Practice moving the putter at YOUR rythm. I know what mine is, make sure you know what yours is.
Aim as small as possible. Never aim at an area, aim at the smallest thing possible, like a blade of grass or the edge of an old ball mark. This way if you miss that quarter inch target you will still have a chance of hitting the 4.25 inch target.
