How Long Should Your Practice Putts Be?

This might be a short post however the tip I observed can also streamline your placing practice.

Over at golf.com Peter Kostis has done an article called These 3 Moves Will Shrink Your Handicap Fast . It's the third tip I want to focus on here... and it's a putting tip, which means it doesn't require any special techniques.

Here's part of what Kostis says:

Let's look at Tour setting stats from 33 ft. Why that period? Because from 33 ft, the pros -putt 88 percentage of the time, even as three-putting and one-placing an identical 6 percentage of the time. Therefore, once they move beyond 33 ft, professionals are much more likely to 3-putt than they're to hole it. The lesson: Even the pleasant warfare from long distance, so get exact at distance manage from 33 ft?And do not hassle training from farther out. Also, spend plenty of time rolling 3-footers. If you could continuously -putt from 33 ft and drain maximum of your three-footers, you'll have the third key to posting better numbers than ever.

Working on the three-foot range is no surprise, is it? Most of us struggle a bit with that length, primarily because we feel that we SHOULD make those and it gets in our heads a bit.

But whilst Kostis said not to bother training past 33 feet, that stuck my interest. That's the make-or-destroy distance for 2-setting in keeping with the stats he cites, so if you could putt it nicely enough from that distance to 2-putt maximum of the time, you are golden!

And it makes sense that those lengths ought to be the most essential considering the fact that a great first putt from 33 feet would leave you some thing around 3 toes. (Hopefully, besides!)

So this tip from Peter Kostis must assist simplify your setting practice notably. If you expand your touch from 3 and from 33 feet, there are not many putts that are going to stump you at the veggies.

Of course, you may need to read the relaxation of the thing to get the alternative tips additionally. But it's a short study with smooth-to-follow guidance, well well worth your time.
