Hi I'm Tom Stickney Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor and today I want to talk to you about acceleration and deceleration what happens on putts and why people tend to slow down as they come through. This is one of the greatest tips I've ever heard a lot of times people come in here they get set up they take it back and they kind of slow down the decelerate coming through and when that happens usually what occurs is the length and the tempo of your back stroke is too rapid making it long and flowing it. So what happened was sort of like you know and when your mind sees a potters' going too far back and it's race back there too fast it automatically get thought is slow down.

So what we want to do is want to get set up correctly we want to make sure that we take a backstroke that's a little bit more controlled and a little bit slower. When make a little bit more control slower backstroke what we're going to find is now you can excel right through the ball if you want to read some more about this go to science and motion golf and they talk about how to do this in that in the length of time and the time signatures of the pros have the sample I have one here it's very very good, but the bottom on about the acceleration is when you get to quit you're going to tend to quick. Slow down control that putter head of the way back at it from there you can accelerate through it so slow and rhythmic all the way back is going to help you to be more aggressive on the way through fast and jerky is going to help you to slow down the way through and we don't want that.
