You’ve got a five-foot, downhill, right to left putt. You’ve got any number of lines depending on the speed. Do you nudge it out there, or power it through a little of the break? Sometimes, choosing the middle line and making a slightly more aggressive stroke while striking the ball slightly towards the toe of the putter (½” at the most) frees you to make a confident stroke. Hitting the ball towards the toe takes some speed off, letting the ball die into the hole, while at the same time pushing the ball just a tad higher to compensate for the lost speed.
Different putters react differently to mishit balls, so try this on the practice green before using it on the course.
