The Mechanics of a Consistent Putting Stroke
Establishing a reliable putting cadence necessitates meticulous attention to the mechanics of one’s stroke. Firstly, the putter should be gripped lightly with both hands, the weight of the club balanced evenly between them. Positioning the ball in the center of the stance and maintaining a stable head position throughout the stroke is essential for consistency. The backswing should be smooth and deliberate, with the clubhead rising to a consistent height each time. The downswing should mirror the backswing, with the clubhead descending along the same path and accelerating through impact. Finally, the follow-through should be fluid and controlled, ensuring that the clubhead continues to move in the direction of the target after striking the ball. By adhering to these principles, individuals can cultivate a repeatable putting stroke that enhances accuracy and reduces variability.
