Drill #2…Putter Wobbles During Stroke

I know I have heard golfers say this at least 1000 times.  “My putter shakes, wobbles you name it, but it never goes straight back”.  Well quess what?   I have heard tour players talk about their wobble putting stroke.  You are not alone.

The key is to not worry about it.  You can still bring it back to the golf ball square and make solid contact.  I have a great drill that can take to the golf course with you that will help the putter head swing back straighter in the backswing.

DRILL

After you address the golf ball take a look down at the tips of both shoes.  Hopefully they are parallel to your target line.  All you have to do is swing the putter back PARALLEL to your toe line.  Some times that is easier said than done. 

What is really cool about this drill/exercise is that you can take it to the golf course and nobody knows what you are doing.  It might take 20-50 practice putts to get it down but it works.  And the other thing that is great about it is you don’t have to try and guide the putter back. 

#1. Line up your putt

#2. Address the golf ball

#3. Aim the putter

#4. Take a peak at your toe line

#5. Stoke the putt.

P.S.  if your feet are aimed to the left or right of the target it won’t take you long to start aming straight.
