treeleaf20 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I’m working on my putting and for some reason I can’t get my putter to continue on an arc after impact. It goes out to the right leading to very inconsistent putts. I’m attaching a photo at impact which I can get the putter back fairly ok to square but the second pic you can see it travels out to the right. Any drills or feelings you can recommend to get it to continue on the inside and follow the arc? Thanks! GolfSpy_APH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy_APH Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Out of curiosity have you tried going left hand low to see if the same thing happens?

What does “inconsistent” mean? Looking at the ball in both photos, the ball seems to be on a straight line from where it started; f it is to the right it is probably face angle related. IMO, you use your right arm/right side to move the putter and you are consciously holding the putter open and/or chasing down the line. It looks like your hands are moving away from the body n the second photo. If you want to stop the putter from going outside put something outside the toe of the putter that prevents it from happening.

I'm just trying to keep my middle section very square to the line and rock the shoulders. I feel like I'm powering it with my left side actually and then I feel like I really have to side bend or force my hands around the left side on the follow through to keep the arc.

Did you fight a left miss in the past? Based on what you are saying here you are probably pulling the putter down the down the line. Put a barricade up that prevents you from going outside. It is going to feel different. you still haven’t said what you inconsistencies are. Are you just trying to make your stroke look “ideal”.

I mean for inconsistencies is that one day they are going fairly straight and other days it's left it's right. It's harder to manage the face when the path is different depending on the day (I know that can be said for anything in golf haha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's harder to manage the face when the path is different depending on the day (I know that can be said for anything in golf haha) Your right biased path is probably a compensation for the left miss. I'd personally probably focus less on path since face angle influences 85-95% of the balls direction. The percent is based on whatever study you happen to read. As long as your path is fairly consistent, you should be okay. Do you have your make percentages from various distances? What is your 50/50 distance? Are you missing from 3 feet and in? Lots of mid round adjustments based on miss?

cnosil Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Also, are you trying to keep your elbows tucked into your sides? Pictures make it look that way. If so, trying to use shoulder rotation with arms into your sides isn't a good combination and you will have a tendency to close the putter going back and then open going through. David Orr has some videos on this.

treeleaf20 Posted January 13, 2023 Author Share Posted January 13, 2023 Don’t have stats unfortunately. However, on the course I struggle mightily from 5 feet and in with pulls left. I’m much better from further away my or at least feels like it. It’s much more consistent even on the indoor mat I have, I rarely miss from the 9 feet and it’s just going left from 4 feet. I feel like if it’s slower my face closes faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try the Quiet Eye approach and look at where the ball was for a longer period of time, count slowing from 1 to 4 while putting (1 starts the stroke, 2 starts the forward swing, 3 is impact, and 4 is look at the result; try same rhythm for a 5 footer as a 20 footer.) and/or close your eyes when you putt to see what happens. also setup some gates to putt the ball through to improve face control; multiple gates available online like the Pelz tutor, Visio or Eyeline products, setup your own or putt down a yardstick.
