The face angle of your putter at contact has between 80 and 95%
influence on the launch direction of your putt. That means a tiny error could cause you to slip by the hole, even with great tempo. When the face has such a huge impact on your putting accuracy, we need to square that face.
Club path also affects accuracy, albeit less than face angle. For instance, if you have a slightly closed face angle but an in-to-out path, you could still launch the ball straight. Other factors to consider are lie angle and contact point. There’s a lot going on here, that’s why it’s best to get your putter fitted for your stroke and setup.
Consistent putting transforms your golf experience. Sometimes it means a birdie. Often it’s a solid par. But it’s always satisfying being able to stand over every putt with confidence. Let’s schedule a putting assessment for when you’re next at the course. And in the meantime, we can give you some drills to do at home.
