Golf International 007 Bond Issue - No more 003 putts! Jan/Feb 09
MATCHING PERCEPTION WITH REALITY…
Our laboratory at the Quintic facility here in Warwickshire is kitted out with the sort of gadgetry that wouldn’t look out of place in Q’s underground workshop. But for all the sophistication of the high-tech video reconnaissance equipment, a simple builder’s laser and trusty putting mirror are by far and away the most important gadgets that a golfer could wish for in terms of keeping his or her putting stroke in order.
I am not giving away any trade secrets when I tell you that the correct alignment of the eyes and the putter-face is vital in the process of developing and repeating the mechanics of a sound putting stroke.And yet it’s no exaggeration to say that upwards of 90% of the golfers who pass this way (most of them top amateurs and professionals) display fundamental flaws in their alignment that demand some sort of compensation in the stroke itself. In other words, they are simply not aiming the putter where they think they are. The simple procedure you see me demonstrating here is designed to confirm both the alignment of the putter-face and the position of the eye-line above the ball.
And if you are serious about improving your putting over the winter, then my advice is get yourself kitted out and follow these rules.
