Putts inside 4 feet are either confidence building or rhythm destroying. There’s no in between. Squaring the face at impact is especially important on these putts. The good news is that with a fitting, you can hole a lot more of them. We’ll need to address a few aspects of your putting.
If you putt with a stronger arc, we’ll get you to try some toe-hang putters.
If you have a straighter back-and-through stroke with very little arc, you should try a face-balanced putter.
Lie angles that raise the toe or heel of your putter make it a lot more difficult to find the middle of the face, reducing your distance control and accuracy.
We’ll also need to check that your grip is allowing you to get your chest and shoulders into the best positions during your stroke.
Start your putts on line, with a square face, and you’ll reduce those surprise misses. A putting assessment and fitting will make it a lot easier for you to square the face.
