Face Angle & Start Direction

Green / Birdie – Very Good

Here's what you can do to improve your putting's numbers.

Birdie / Range 0,50° - 1,00°

  1. Consistent face angle – Very Good standard

  2. Maintain using your current drills, focus on SET-UP and consistency

  3. Putter Face  Rotation <25 ⁰/sec

  4. Grip on Square? 

Causes of Poor Face Angle - Range

  • Poor alignment of the putter at Address – check eyes, head, shoulder & putter grip

  • Upper spine angle is too upright (check the length of the putter!)

  • Too much forearm rotation  ‘Hands on the club – are they neutral?’

  • Manipulation of the wrists (flipping), weight moving away from the target

  • Inconsistent ‘Ball Position’ – often too far inside the line with the eyes

  • Anchor point of the putter is too low – belly putter...

  • Check the amount of ‘Toe Hang’ – ‘more face balanced may help?’

  • Head weight / Shaft weight / Grip weight = all have an influence


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.

Green / Birdie – Very Good

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.

Amber / Par – Average

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
