Having trouble with your distance control on putts? Perhaps you’re rushing your putting stroke. Rushing the stroke leads to a “hit” more than a “stroke” and affects the distance control tremendously. If you’re rushing your putting stroke, concentrate on taking the putter back, pausing briefly at the end of the backswing, and making a smooth, accelerating forward stroke devoid of any “hit.”
Pause on Putts
Pausing on the backswing isn’t just for full shots. Putts benefit too!
