Releasing the Putter Face
Releasing the Putter Face
Description
Releasing the putter face is something that is misunderstood by most of the golfing population. It is a common held belief that the putter face should be looking down the target line during the entire stroke. Of course, that's not possible without manipulating the putter face and bending over to 90* with the upper spine. The putter, just in the normal swing, works on an arc which means the putter face is only looking straight down the target line for a split second at impact and then immediately working left and pointing left of the target.
Video Practice Points
- Just like a full swing, the putting stroke works on an arc and needs a little bit of rotation to release
- Most golfers try to swing "straight back & straight through" and flip the club in an effort to square the face
- Don't let the left wrist break down - get a slight rotation of the the left wrist bones to release instead
- You should feel like the putting stroke works low to the ground
- The face will point slightly left of the target at the end of the stroke
