The Art of Lag Putting
The most critical part of any putt is the speed.
This is often referred to as distance control when referencing
long putts.
If you can consistently control the speed of your long putts,
you’ll never have more than a three-foot putt to finish.
Keeping the Putter On Line
Run
a string between two pencils on you target line.
Make your stroke, with the intent to match backstroke length
with forward stroke length.
Use the line as a reference as to how your putter head
travels along their target line.
It should remain in-line with the string and move as low
to the ground as possible.

One-Piece Take Away
If you start your swing by breaking your wrists or spinning your
hips, the club head will tend to start back on a path that’s too far
to the inside. If you take
the club away by lifting the club head with you hands and swaying with
no body turn, the club head will tend to start back on a path that’s
too far to the outside. Either
lead to poor shot making.
The
correct one-piece takeaway begins by moving the triangle created by
the shoulders and arms as a single unit.
There should be no breaking or hinging of the wrists as this
motion occurs, otherwise you’ll risk moving the club off plane.
