I've been doing tips from gamers on this week's UL International Crown and wanted to do a setting tip from So Yeon Ryu, however all I could discover turned into her mentioning that she worked with Ian Baker-Finch. So here is a drill from Ian...
Ian's favored drill is one you've likely visible earlier than. He locations 5 balls in a line, starting at three feet from the hollow and the subsequent one three toes farther, and many others., all of the manner out to fifteen ft. (Or, as he says, you can simply use the putter shaft as a hard guide.) Then he tries to make all the balls, starting with the only closest to the hole. He repeats the drill 4 instances -- uphill, downhill, right-to-left and left-to-right.
What caught my eye is how he practices the downhillers. I turned into a bit surprised that he placed a goal ball PAST the hole. Since he is placing downhill, I could have anticipated his goal to be simply brief of the hole so he did not roll too a ways past.
But Ian is clearly afraid of leaving his downhill putts short. And to be honest, we do see the pros leave them short quite often. But I'm not certain that's a common problem for amateurs. And this is where you need to pay special attention.
This is a super drill for learning velocity manipulate. But when you try it, you need to see what your dispositions are and alter for them.
Do you tend to hit your downhillers way past the hole? Then you should set a target ball that is roughly that amount short of the hole and see how you do when you try to stop the ball there.
Do you tend to leave your uphillers short? Then you should set a target ball that far past the hole and try to get the ball to stop there.
Drills are handiest beneficial in the event that they assist you get the consequences you want. Never be afraid to modify a drill if doing it the way an instructor recommends does not assist you enhance.
Even if that teacher is Ian Baker-Finch.
