Golf Putters
As a golfer, one of the most important pieces of equipment
you can own is your putter. As you probably realize, your putter is
used more times in one round of golf than any other club.
Knowing how to truly use a putter displays your excellence as a
golfer.
After all, if you know how to properly use a putter, then chances
are that you are experienced at reading a green, as well as figuring
out and controlling the speed and distance of your ball. You may
even have the knowledge of how to create a pure roll with your golf
ball; but this information is useless if you do not know how to use
a putter. Knowing how to use a putter has many, many benefits.
No matter what, one highly important aspect of a putter is its
alignment. Even if you read your green to the best of your ability
and had a perfect speed and roll with your ball - if the putter was
not lined up correctly to make the shot, chances are you won't make
it. Your putter's alignment means everything in a game. Even if you
think that you can read your green to the best of your ability, you
may not be able to totally hit the ball with the best speed and
roll. Playing this game over and over will show you how to line up
the ball to make the shot. You may need to use line, circles, holes,
dots, and other features to line yourself up for the shot - but no
matter what, with the right putter, it will end up where you want.
What type of putter you choose is completely up to you. Putters are
typically chosen based upon a personal preference. Remember that in
golf, every person is different. You may choose a putter based on
its style, its weight, its look, or its technology. The putter you
choose is completely up to you and your personal style.
There are a variety of guidelines that can assist you in purchasing
a putter. The basic types of putters are as follows:
Putter blades:
Putter blades are generally narrow and flat. On the market today,
there are several putters that are widely popular among
low-to-handicap players. This is due to the enhanced feel of the
putters. The blade of every putter entered more in the middle
compared to other types. A blade putter provides extra weight in the
heel and toe of the putter to improve forgiveness on off center
hits. Blade style putters give you a thin top line to look at while
you are over the ball.
Perimeter weight:
A perimeter-weighted putter design is a forgiving design. The
perimeter weighted design will distribute the weight around the edges
of the club-head, which in turn creates a larger sweet spot that helps
stabilize any slight mishaps.
Mallets:
Mallets feature large, round club-heads. The weight of these mallet
putters is usually balanced throughout the head for more
consistent putting strokes.
Insert:
An insert is designed with composite inserts. Insert putters
offer a great feel on the putt, as well as a highly a smooth roll.
Improve Your Swing
Looking for better consistency? Need to improve your accuracy?
Desperately want some more yards? Or possibly you just want your
swing to look a little better so your buddies won't tease you
anymore. These are all great reasons for doing some work on your
swing, but what is the best way to go about it?
Improve Your Chipping
The 18th hole is a lengthy par 4 with a tricky elevated green.
You've missed the green to the right on your approach. Your ball
sits about 8 feet off the green in the first cut of rough. The lie
isn't too bad, but it's a tricky shot.
Improve Your
Putting
Drive for show, putt for dough. Relax the nerves, trust your
line. Eyes over the ball, smooth take away. Accelerate through the
ball, and...
