| Grip and Position
The standard grip should suit most
players. My eyes are over the ball-to-target-line, with the ball
slightly forward in my stance to promote a good release whilst
maintaining an arc in the wrist which I will go into more detail
later.
On these photos, I am
demonstating some grips, with correct ball position, which are now
becoming more common on tour.
Experiment with a belly
putter. The ball should ideally be positioned directly under the
belly button.
Cross handed, with left
hand low, promotes a firmness of the wrists leading to better
control of distance and help square up the shoulders.
The claw for caffeine
grip ( as I like to call it!! ) stops any twitching of the right
wrist, which allows you to accelerate through the putting line.
If your normal putting
stroke is twitchy, especially in your practice strokes, trying one
of these variations an help.
In all positions getting
your eyes directly over the ball is preferable.
