Ball Speed & Distance Control
Red / Bogey – Poor
Here's what you can do to improve your putting's numbers.
BOGEY / Range > 1 mph
-
Do you address the ball out of toe or heel at Set-up?
-
Excessive body movement, hands dropping, head moving... Are you hitting the same part of the putter?
-
Acceleration of the putter?
-
Inconsistent Impact Location?
-
De-Acceleration of the putter?
-
Ensure Putter Face Rotation range >40⁰/sec
-
Grip Square / Size?
Causes of Poor Ball Speed & Distance Control – Range
-
Inconsistent Club Head Speed / RED Acceleration prior to impact.
-
Length of Backswing vs. Throughswing = Tempo & Rhythm
-
Grip Pressure / Size / Style of Grip – leading to inconsistent club face rotation
-
Club head twist ? Are you hitting the ball out of the same spot
-
Inconsistent Ball Position – eyes often too far inside the line / forward or back in stance
-
Excessive body movement, body moving backwards during impact
-
Hands flipping at impact / Too high a launch angle / inconsistent rotation / spin...
-
Check the amount of ‘Toe Hang’ – ‘more face balanced may help ?’
Consistency / Range Values How to interpret the numbers...
Blue / Eagle – Best of the Best!
The equivalent of a robot, it is not possible to do any better as a human being, please don’t try and improve this parameter, just ensure the you understands what you need to do to create such consistency for this parameter.
These are still very consistent numbers created by the player. Again ensure the You understands what you need to do to create such consistency for this parameter.
Average range numbers, you are not going to set the world on fire, however they are still more than acceptable ranges..
Red / Bogey – Poor
Irrespective of the level of golf played by the golfer, ranges in the red are going to hurt them, they display significant levels of inconsistency. Technique and club fitting need to be considered if putting performance is to be improved
