Keep your body still while putting

One of the best tips on putting in golf is to keep your body as totally still as possible throughout the stroke.

Unlike the full swing, when you need plenty of help from your entire body to produce speed and power, putting is all about precision and control.

It takes barely any effort at all to roll the ball towards the hole, so try and focus on the precise control of your stroke.

Keeping your body still while making a putting stroke is easier said than done, and you need to understand what parts of the body are responsible for moving the putter back and forth.

Ideally, it will be the job of your shoulders to move the putter, while your arms and hands go along for the ride naturally.

By placing the control of the stroke in your shoulders, you can eliminate much of the unnecessary movement that often causes putts to veer off track.

A good way to focus on keeping your lower body still as you putt is to think about the position of your kneecaps.

These are two specific points that are easy to focus on, and you will instantly be able to tell if they happen to move.

While the putter swings, focus on keeping your kneecaps perfectly still in the position that they held at address.

If you can accomplish that simple task successfully, there is a good chance of rolling in a few putts on any given day.

Out of Bounds: The truth about a good round of golf is that it always contains mistakes, and is never simple and very rare.
