I even admit it was dead straight. But how do i hit a dead straight putt. Im a 6 handicap and have a great long game and game around the green. Putting has always kept me back from being really good. btw im 17 so i still have alot to improve. But the one thing no one has taught me is how to hit a straight putt. How do i line up? What do i look at? Any thing will help. Thanks

You can still putt straight at the hole, and still miss. There are factors that is present within the last 3 feet of the hole that will play a role in the outcome.

The reverse donut…in which, the surrounding 6" around the hole itself will be elevated ever-so-slightly due to the constant pressure of those before you and yourself that has stepped up to the hole and taken the ball out of the hole…if the pin placement been the same throughout the week, expect such a condition to be present.

The things that work for me, is lining up the ball arrow with my target line…trust in my judgment and just provide a untempered putting swing…keeping the larger muscles in the hand & arms out of the equation.

If it is a straight putt as you say, even at 8" away, my stroke with the putter will follow through towards the path of the hole, no arc.
