3 Body Movements That Ruin Your Putting: Tip 5 of 5 on How to Improve Your Putting by Spring

Did you know there are three areas of body movement that are killing your putting? As you get your putting ready for spring, it’s important to eliminate unnecessary body movement in your stroke. In putting tip 5 of 5, here are three areas where small movements can quietly sabotage your putts: your wrists, your head, and your legs. When any of these start moving during the stroke, your putter face can easily get off line. 

The key is to stay steady and let the shoulders control the motion. By keeping your wrists quiet, your head still, and your legs stable, you’ll develop a smoother, more consistent putting stroke that sends the ball rolling on your intended line.

Thanks for following along with our 5-part series on getting your putting ready for spring. Each of these simple fundamentals (still legs, natural stroke path, square face angle, a consistent setup routine, and eliminating unnecessary body movement) builds on the next to help you create a more reliable and confident putting stroke. The goal is progress, not perfection, and a few focused minutes of practice can make a major difference once the season begins. We hope these tips help you step onto the green this spring feeling ready, steady, and confident.
