Judging what the green around you is doing – and how best to navigate along it – is the essential ingredient for good putting. It’s why good players sweat over it – and recently, a new system has emerged on tour that is helping players do it.
Even with Scheffler’s troubles on the greens (he ranks outside the top 150 in numerous other putting categories), there is one statistic he leads: approach putt performance.
One of the changes Morikawa made to his putting came during his routine: he ditched practice strokes and instantly found it helped his distance control on longer putts.
We recently installed a WellPutt Big Tilt putting green in the studio at the Jason Laws Golf Academy and it has shown me one thing in particular: most golfers struggle with speed control on uphill putts.
