Golf Info Guide: The Key Principles Vol. 8 Putting Process (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798669459130)

In this book, you will find the best-putting tips to help improve your golf game. No matter how far you hit your driver, how accurately you play iron shots, or how deftly you chip and pitch, golf is all about getting the ball in the hole. That means the shortest club in the bag - the putter, standard length 35" - plays an oversized role in determining your success. Statistics bear this out. Most golfers, including pros, use the putter for about 40% of all shots in a typical round. No other club comes close. If your average score is 90, you'll take about 36 putts per 18 holes. For pros, the figures are closer to 70 and 28. Is the stat misleading? A little, since it counts tap-ins that require practically no skill to make. But the fact remains - if you want to shave strokes from your score, the green is the first place to go. This book on the Putting Process was written by experts and, covers every aspect of this delicate art-slash-science.Fundamental putting tips are treated with exacting detail: developing a proper grip; aligning your body, eyes, and clubface; accelerating the putter through impact. We offer putting tips lessons on finer points, like reading the green's break and putting on bumpy surfaces, and discuss alternatives to conventional putting methods (e.g., using a "no-peek" stroke or cross-handed grip). Having the right equipment is critical, too, and you'll find advice on everything from standard and long putters to heavy clubheads to extra-thick grips. Of course, we also tackle the most common putting ailments, like deceleration, excessive wrist action, and the dreaded "yips." Finally, you'll find numerous drills designed to improve your stroke path, tempo, and more. Until you're holing every putt inside 10 feet, lagging every long one close and going months without a three-putt, there are always strokes to be gained on the greens.
