However, some points necessary
to being an effective putter are:
A comfortable posture that permits the
triangle to operate freely and consistently
with arms hanging straight from the
shoulders.
Eyes over the ball:
This helps to ensure better down the
line sight. (Picture 2)
The head remains motionless
throughout the stroke.
Lower body remains quiet through the

The putting stroke is more swinging of the club; rather than hitting
of the ball. This point holds true throughout the learning of golf
swing skills. I say swing rather than hit because it promotes more
control over the club head and body. The harder you try to hit
something the less control you’ll have over the outcome. Staying
focused on swinging.
