Key Moments
Take it to the range
- 1Get low to the ground and stand further from the ball to visualize the green's slope.
- 2Walk in a half-moon shape around the hole to feel uphill or downhill slopes with your feet.
- 3On the practice green, make an educated guess on break, then adjust based on over or under-reading.
- 4Maintain constant acceleration through the putt, varying only the length of your backswing.
- 5Stride out 15, 30, and 45 feet on the practice green to develop a feel for those distances.
