I developed this method. It works for me. On the greens that I play a 5 inch backswing goes about 8ft. (stroke don't hit) You will be able to adjust for your own greens. 1.. Place the ball at long iron position, just off left instep. 2.. Place Putter mid stance. 3.. Take a 1 inch backswing and just stroke it towards the hole. 4.. If I want the ball to go 16ft I place the putter 10 inches behind, take a 1 inch or less backswing and stroke it towards the hole. I went from awful to averaging 31 putts and less.. I think it works because you are preloading the backswing. On a 30 footer I am starting with the ball just off the left instep and the ball up to 15inches behind it. You need to work out your own distances for the pace of greens you play but this method does 3 things. Your backswing is always one inch. You have preloaded the distance by pre-setting the backswing. You just need to stroke the ball. It stops jerky backswings, rushed putts and gives you a pre putt routine. Good luck, On a 30 footer I am starting with the ball just off the left instep and the ball up to 15inches behind it. TYPO On a 30 footer I am starting with the ball just off the left instep and the PUTTER up to 15inches behind it.

Making a bogey and bouncing back with a double bogey.

I always thought distance was more ball influenced? You reckon different irons will give you more accuracy?

Hi all. I just discovered The Sandtrap today after searching for "Regripping at the top of the backswing." The thread was from 2009. I was playing 2 days ago and the first 6 was a struggle with ball striking. I knew I was not transitioning properly , so I decided to try and slow my backswing a little to create time. The next swing I made was a perfect contact but I noticed I had done something odd at the top of the backswing. It wasn't a regrip as such, more like I'd loosened my grip and added an extra little wrist hinge. The next 8 holes were great for ball striking (obviously chipping went off but came from 4 down to level the match). My theory is that those few fractions of a second had created more time in my backswing to allow my weight to transfer correctly. Anyone have any experience of this?

I started doing that by accident a week or so ago. I changed the set up on my Driver and noticed it seemed to put me in a more upright position. I gave it a go and it worked really well.
