My Favourite Putting Drill

[PeteHurrikane]

Simple drill: place three markers at 3', 5' and 7' and putt three balls from each length until you sink 9 in a row.

I started using this drill about three years ago. Mixed with the three protectors and tick-tock timing it works very well.

I missed two of the putts but I did the video in one take. I usually start with a straight putt and then attempt the breaking ones. I do this drill prior to playing and can honestly sally  that I basically laugh at most putts within 5'.

Here's the video....

How long do you think it would take to complete this drill?

Did anyone notice the strange grip?

Why do ladies have a big problem with this drill?

Should we do the drill as I demonstrated in this video and forget the misses?

Is the drill really only for low IQ golfers?

A good drill I use is putting tape over the lines on my putter and focusing on keep the face of the putter square to my target line.  This is similar to how you get fitted for a putter, I believe, and its a good drill to help get yourself properly lined.  Then its about speed, which is a whole other story.

A drill I like to do is set up 4 tees around the hole so 12 o'lock 3 o'clock 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock. All are set up about 3 feet from the hole. And I'll force myself to make a certain amount in a row until I can move on. Do this enough and you'll become a much better putter 3 feet and in.
