Your question: “I keep pulling my putts left”
No worries. 🙌 I got you covered Do these next and you’ll feel the difference.
Pulling your putts left often stems from issues in your setup or stroke mechanics. Start by checking your shoulder alignment. Ensure that your shoulders are not just lifting but rotating properly. Your front shoulder should ideally align over your back foot during the backswing. This rotation helps maintain a consistent path for your putter [1].
Next, focus on your lower body. Make sure you’re not overly rigid; allow your hips to rotate back as you push your trail hip away from the target. This movement creates a better angle for your stroke and can help keep the putter on a straighter path [2].
Lastly, practice keeping your head centered throughout the stroke. If your head moves laterally, it can throw off your aim and lead to pulls. Work on maintaining a stable upper body while allowing your lower body to rotate freely [3].
Key Points
- Rotate your shoulders, keeping the front shoulder over the back foot.
- Allow your hips to rotate back, avoiding stiffness.
- Keep your head centered to maintain a consistent putting path.
