In this video, you’ll learn putting fundamentals for a pure stroke.

I review all the major moves that you need to drain more putts.

This is a great video if you’re a beginning or intermediate player.

And it’s a good recap if you’re a more advanced player (it never hurts to review the key fundamentals).

Putter Grip

In the video, you’ll see how to grip the putter with your left wrist on the “lifeline”…

And how you should lock your wrist for  a consistent stroke.

Stance

I suggest putting with a comfortable and stable stance.

I’d keep your stance within shoulder width apart.

You can have a close stance if you want, but it makes a little more sense to widen your stance a bit if it’s really windy on the course.

Ball Position

Imagine there’s a line right up the middle between your feet.

Position the ball to be slightly ahead of this line.

The reason why you want to have it slightly up in the stance is that you want the putter to make contact on a slightly ascending path.

This will help you get a smoother, end-over-end roll on the green.

Bonus tip…add a bit of forward shaft lean to the putter to roll the ball smoothly.

Head Position

You should be able to look straight down at the ball, or close to it.

Here’s a great tip…

Stand over the ball as you normally would and drop another ball from the area just in front of your eyes.

If the ball drops even with the ball or slightly more towards your body, you’re in good shape.

Pro Tip for Feel

You want to feel like your placing topspin on the ball; it’ll feel like you’re brushing up on the ball.

Keep the ball on the ground and have it roll end over end.
