025: Mastering Distance Control in Putting (Hint: Do NOT Accelerate Through Impact)


Listen Later

We dive into why distance control is the single most important skill in putting, why so many golfers struggle with it, and how to do it. All too often we see golfers take the putter back too slowly, run out of time, and then "hit" at the ball to make up for it, wrecking both speed and face control. We discuss why the old advice to "accelerate through the ball" can do more harm than good, how tempo tools like a simple metronome reveal the truth about stroke rhythm, and practical drills for training consistent speed and stroke length. For more background, see the long-running discussion on The Sand Trap.
