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.
Thanks for the tips vj.
I think it's bunk to look at one concentrated spot on the ball too...I'm gonna try to kinda "defocus" on the whole ball....I'm also guilty of watching the putterhead from time to time....usually happens when you're unsure/anxious I think.
The tempo thing is good too.....everyone tells me my stroke is too long....I don't think it really is.....that's just the way I do it. Like David Toms type-deal.

I also like to pick out a small target to roll the ball over....usually about a foot away so my aiming is fool-proof.
With the tempo idea I think a metronome is invaluable. My tempo is pretty slow, I found 55 beats per minute is perfect for my stroke so I just set the metronome accordingly and work on distance control with it on the entire time. As an example, Dave Pelz says his stroke is at 70 beats per minute. Start on one beat, end of backstroke on the next beat, impact at the next beat.
