Get two dumbbells (10 lb's. are what I use, bought at Wal-Mart) - piece of string - laminated business card or credit card. The cards are less in width then the diameter of a regulation hole, which is a plus. Cut a piece of string long enough for the space available to you that you will be practicing in. Mine is 12' long. Tie two slipknots at each end and loop the string over the weight hub of the dumbbell. Pull the loops tight on the grip bar about 1/2 way between weight ends then spread the dumbbells apart on the floor till the string is tight. String will be about 5 to 6 inches above the floor. Stand over the string at one end, sight down and place the card on the floor approx. 18 inches or so from the dumbbell, so when looking down on the string it runs through the center of the card. Then sighting down over the string place the ball centered under the string and practice putting the ball over the card at different distances along the string line. While trying to putt the ball over the card try to gauge the speed of the putt so the ball comes to a stop no farther then the dumbbell. This has improved my putting greatly. Also, do not forget to use the dumbbells to build up you arm and wrist strength. Use your imagination with the above practice method like getting a narrow strip of outdoor carpet to lie over the floor i.e. wood, tile, or smooth surface carpet. Put some strips of padding of various thicknesses under the outdoor carpet to build slight undulations. Good luck with your practicing.

Heres and idea if you can do it. Have a putter at work. Pick a spot. Get yourself some kind of wireless headset for your office phone or use bluetooth on a cell. For those of you who spend time on conference calls...practice your 4 to 6 footers while on calls. Next thing you know...when you're out on the course those must make putts become nothing more than the office putt you've hit time and time again. Has worked wonders for me!

    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands  
    • Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
