  2. 2For short putts, pick a tiny spot inside the hole as your precise aim point
  3. 3Avoid lining up your ball; use a blank side to prevent alignment bias
  4. 4Read breaking putts from under the line to visualize the roll
  5. 5Control long putt distance by adjusting only your stroke length, not force
5 steps
