Should I Keep The Golf Putter Low To The Ground For Better Roll (Video) - by Pete Styles

As golfers we’re always searching for the perfect role of the putt across the perfect green. Now if we’ve got a nice smooth putting surface we should be able to get this golf ball rolling relatively put – next journey, we don’t it bouncing and bumping all the way along. One of the methods we can use to keep this ball rolling nice and flat nice and smooth, nice and early is keeping the putter quite low to the ground in the follow through of the stroke. If we have the putter lifting up to much there’s a chance that we are hitting up on the golf ball creating a bit too much loft. So we’d often consider the inner through stroke of the good putt, would have the club low to the ground sort of exiting a low rather than popping up.

Now the key to this really is not utilizing your wrists too much; if you are using your wrist too much and you are having a lean back in a scoop here then the club is clearly high in the air which we don’t really want. If we were playing the ball slightly ahead of something like a six high ball position then keep the hands nice and low to the floor here. You can see the putter is lower to the ground and the wrists have done a lot less work. So it’s not the high wristy flick here it’s the low push delivery. And if the club’s delivered nice and low and straight forced towards the golf ball we’d often see the – come out rolling nice and low and straight towards the hole without bouncing and bubbling. Once this ball is rolling quite quickly it has a little bit of over spin on it as it runs over the surface, starts rolling towards the hole, attracts its line a bit better; keeps on line better, and put this bouncing and bubbling there off line a bit too quickly it’s more difficult to control the speed. So if you can have that low follow through when you are putting you will get the ball rolling and you will hold a few more of your longer putts.
