Putting Tip: Keep Your Head Still Like A Rock

Putting Tip: Keep Your Head Still Like A Rock

A common problem with golfers who have trouble with their putt shots is too much head movement.

In fact, as little head movement as possible is advised because just a slight vibration made before the ball is hit tends to knock the shoulders out of its natural path. The shoulders then knock the putter off the correct path and the result is a crooked stroke and a bad putt.

This bad habit is especially damaging with short putts due to a player’s natural tendency to want to take a sneak peek to check that the ball is heading towards the hole.

Total Stillness Counts More Than You Realize

Having explained the issue in its simplicity, the key objective you should start paying attention to when putting is to keep your head totally still - like a rock - throughout the entire stroke.

The easiest way to achieve this is to consciously keep your head down until you literally hear the sound of the ball sinking into the hole.
