Putting Posture

Putting posture is an important element of a good putting game. Getting yourself into the proper posture will allow you to create the best pendulum stroke you can. I look for the following 3 fundamentals in putting.

Eyes over ball – When the eyes get over the ball it gives you the best view of the target line.
Arms underneath shoulders – Your elbows should be slightly bent with your arms hanging directly over the shoulders. This position allows your arms to swing freely.

Weight balanced over center of feet – the hips should line up directly over your heels. This allows you to keep your body and head still throughout the stroke.

Please note in these photos how the hips are over the heels, arms are under the shoulders, and the eyes are over the ball. Get yourself into this putting posture to improve your putting today!
