Question

every time i put i cut the ball left and it kills me

any help will do

Answer 1

Think about the pendulum movement in your arms and dont flex your wrists.

Answer 2

Well that is the same problem I used to have and I learned that oyu need to keep your wrists tight and dent bend or rotate them at all.

Answer 3

try left hand low. It is amazing how square to the target you wil bring it through.

Answer 4

When you're putting you don't want to rotate your wrists at all, in general from below your shoulders down to the putter head nothing should move.  Only your shoulders should rotate and that should keep the putter head from rotating.

Answer 5

Try practicing by putting 2 tees in the ground just about as wide as your putter and making a stroke at the ball.  You will need to come through straight to avoid hitting either tee.  Also, draw a straight line all around a ball or use a striped range ball and try practicing to roll the ball so the line stays straight up and down as the ball rolls.  Practice keeping the face of the putter going towards your target.

Answer 6

Think of the putting stroke as a pendulum with the putter on bottom (of course) and your shoulders being the top. That makes your head the balanced center, and leaves minimal room for independent movement of your arms and basically none for your wrists.

The smoothest putting strokes you will make are with the putter just above the ground at it's very lowest point. Weather you come straight back and through, or from inside to inside on a slight curve, you want a repeatable and comfortable motion.
