 Putting Consistently to the Hole Using Your Follow-Through

Having problems getting your putts to the hole? Or have no control of your putts by knocking them too far past?

Spend a little extra time working on your follow-through. I recently was invited to play with a gentleman who had a unique putting routine. As he first set up, he placed the putter in front of the golf ball and extended it down the line, overexaggerating his follow-through.

When he putted, he simply copied the rehearsed motion. At first, I thought it was weird that he overextended his follow-through so much, but it eventually made sense to me. When you exaggerate the follow-through, it allows you to make a freer stroke through the golf ball. Without a full follow-through, most players tend to hit the ball too forcefully and stop their putter through impact. This often leads to a punch stroke and inconsistent putting.

Just like in the golf swing, a good follow-through often leads to good results. I think too many amateurs and a lot of touring professionals make too short of a follow-through by keeping the putter close too the ground, trying to make their stroke the same distance back and through, or trying to keep the putter on too straight of a line throughout the stroke.
