In today's tip I want to talk to you about big breaking putts. When you play by here you will find a lot of hills humps and bumps, and if you're not very good at judging the speed in the line of your big break in putts you're going to have some issues. So the 1st thing I want to talk about is making sure that you understand correct impact alignments. Whenever you practice these putts we always want to make sure that our hands are very solid. If you tend to flip at it like so whether left wrist tends to break down what you're going to find is going to be very difficult for you to control your line and your speed. So once we have that under control the next thing is to pick the right line.
So we intersect the hole now one of the biggest issues on big breaking putts is to play too little break, and when you see a play too little break. When the ball starts to die it starts to move away from the hole and when it starts to move away from the hole obviously our putts get further by the second. So we always want to make sure that on big breaking putts we play more than enough break. As you can see right here so when the ball loses its speed it starts to die towards the hole. So remember I want you to have solid impact alignments and I always want you to tend to play more break than you need on these big breaking putts and if you do so you're going to have a heck of a lot more fun over here in Bahia.
