Free Putting Tips

As people are always trying to improve their game, they are always asking for free putting tips. They are all looking for the magic putting tips that will be their “secret!” This simply just does not work this way. It does take a little bit of work, but here are some free putting tips that when you consistently practice with them you will improve your putting:

You will need to know where the sweet spot of your putter is in order to hit solid putts. You can do this by simply allowing your putter to hang from one hand. With the other, take a golf ball and start tapping the face of the putter on the toe. Work your way towards the center of the putter. You will know when you hit the sweet spot when the putter face does not twist once it hits the golf ball. Many people are surprised to find that the sweet spot of their putter is not exactly in the center of the putter face.

One of the best putting tips is one that you can do anywhere. You can do it in your office or at home. One of the typical reasons that so many people miss so many putts is that they do not have a solid base. To insure that you have a solid base, take your putting stance in a door frame with one hip slightly touching the door jam. As you take your stroke you will be able to feel if your hip sways off of the door jam. If it does then you have too much lower body movement during your putting stroke. Pretty simple, huh?

One of the other putting tips to go along with the previous tip is to take your putting stance facing a wall. You will not touch the wall with your but your will stand close enough to get feedback from your hair. You can throw a hat on if you are challenged in the hair growing department or choose to shave it off. Your head should stay still as your shoulders go back and forth. If your head does rock, then you will get instant feedback.

Many putting tips are very inexpensive and do not need the use of expensive training aids. Try this one the next time to the putting green to improve your alignment. Gather a few range balls together. Find a flat, I mean flat, three foot putt. Take the time to line the stripes on the range balls up to create a direct line to the hole. As you set up to the putt you will have a great visual reference of the target line. In addition, once the ball starts rolling, the line should stay solid and not become wider. If the line becomes wider, the putt was not hit squarely and will have a hard time staying on the target line of a medium to long range golf putt.

Buying The Best Golf Club Set

What should you look for in a set of golf clubs? How do I know which set is best for me and my current abilities? What about getting clubs custom made for my size and level of strength? These are just some of the questions you should be asking yourself before you decide to go out and buy a new set of golf clubs. After all this can mean the difference between seeing an improvement in your game or indeed a decline. Which one would you prefer?

Golf Clubs – Woods

How do you know which type of would you need for your game? Well if you are a beginner to the game of golf, you need to look for woods that have a more flat face. The reason for this is because a flat face will increase the likelihood of your ball going straighter down the fairway. This however will also mean that you will be sacrificing distance for overall accuracy. If you have been playing for quite some time now, a better option would be finding a wood that is more curved and therefore has a stronger “sweet spot”. This will increase the distance of your shots, but reduce the accuracy.

Golf Clubs – The Driver

Should I use the driver for all of my tee shots on par 4′s and par 5′s? For a beginner, having a type of golf club like the driver in your bag usually in more of a hindrance than a help. Why? Because when starting out in golf people should focus more on accuracy than overall distance. Just because you can drive 300 yards doesn’t mean you should do it all the time. Beginners should start by using the 5 or 3 wood initially for all their drives as they tend to be more accurate. Take this into consideration next time you head down for a round at your local golf club.

Golf Clubs – Irons

How can I tell the difference between a good iron and a bad one? There are two main things you should look for in an iron. One, the amount of grooves on the face and two, the size of the sweet spot on the back of the face. The amount of grooves on the face will determine the level of spin you are able to produce. Some golfers prefer to have less grooves because they feel they can get more distance, but I prefer to choose control above anything else. In actual fact you should not have to worry about distance so much so because if you find a set of golf clubs that contain a strong and central sweet spot, this will be an automatic thing.

Golf Clubs – The Putter

There are three different types of putters: the normal grip putter, the belly putter and the broomstick putter. Most people tend to go for the normal putter as this is the most easiest to learn initially. However many people who have learnt how to use the belly putter and the broomstick putter have had much success. The only thing that matters is “what works best for you”. Try testing them all out. You never know, it might be the missing ingredient in your game!
