Directional Putting Drill


D.A. Points relayed a great putting drill that Vince revealed on Golf Talk.
To get the ball started on your intended line, place a yard stick on fairly level part of the green. You want it length-wise and pointing toward a hole about ten feet away. Place a ball on the back edge of the stick. Then hit the ball trying to rolling the entire length of the yard stick, rolling off the opposite end.
If you're able to roll the ball the length of the yard stick, you know you're getting the ball started and staying on the intended line. If not, keep at it!

Practice Habits


One of the easiest ways to make substantive changes to your game is through effective and efficient practice habits. Most players have little regard for what kind of practice will be the most productive for their needs - if they're even aware that there are different kinds of practice! Here are a couple rules of thumb to improve the quality of your practice.
Practice the same or similar shot consecutively when your new to the game or when making changes to your motion. This type of practice is called blocked practice because you're practicing the same skill over and over. Use blocked practice when you need to make a change to your swing or when you're trying to build confidence. This type of practice is the easiest to repeat, so you can expect decent results.
When you want to learn to make your swing more repeatable and consistent, practice different shots for every repetition. Change clubs frequently - no more than 2 or 3 shots with the same club - and change targets and ball flight (if your able) every shot. This type of practice is called variable practice and it makes the general swing motion more stable, it simulates play on the course, and it increases the challenge. Variable practice is more difficult but it keeps you engaged in every shot - which is why it is more difficult to produce good shots. You may even feel like you practice isn't as good as normal, however, you will be learning better and performing better in the long run.
So if you know what you're trying to achieve in your practice (and you should), be sure and match the appropriate type of practice for your needs.

Good luck!

Ingenious in design the dynamic framework considers relationships between swing components to inform changes, but also identifies the components that require no change. It is not a model for a particular swing but rather a means to designing the perfect swing for any player by considering the individual's inherent attributes and building a simple motion that is most repeatable for that individual.
