Coach’s Answer
Your question: “I keep pulling my putts left”
Let’s lock in the feels. ✨ Let’s pinpoint what’s happening and set you up for success.
Pulling your putts left often stems from your setup and swing mechanics. Focus on your shoulder rotation during the backswing. Make sure your shoulders are rotating behind you rather than moving laterally. This will help keep your putter path more in line with your target.
Check your lower body as well. When you take your stance, ensure your hips are correctly positioned. You can place a club on your hip joints to feel the proper hip hinge. Push your trail hip back while maintaining a stable upper body. This will help you achieve the right rotation without being too rigid [1][2].
Lastly, remember to keep your arms wide and let your torso do the majority of the work. Your front shoulder should ideally be over your back foot at the top of your swing. This alignment will help you maintain a straight putt and avoid the pull to the left [3][4].
Key Points
- Rotate your shoulders behind you, not laterally.
- Check your hip position and maintain a stable upper body.
- Keep your arms wide and focus on torso rotation.
