Great putters putt well regardless of the conditions and in the video above, Titleist staff member Michael Breed shows how great putters cope with wind, one of trickier variables you can face on the putting green.
The next time you play in heavy wind, follow Michael’s keys to stay stable over your putts, the secret to rolling it well when it’s blowing hard on the golf course.
1. Ball position – one putter head length inside your lead foot.
2. Distribute most of your weight (70-80%) in your lead leg. Press your trail leg toward your lead leg to anchor your weight and create a stable base.
3. Get your shirt buttons directly over the ball.
4. Keep your triceps connected against the sides of your ribcage throughout the stroke.
5. Rock your shoulders to move the putter, your hands and your arms as one connected unit.
