The Catch 22 Of Putting Shots (improve your putt 2/4)
One of the major factors influencing a putt's success or failure is it's speed. In other words, the pressure that you apply on your swing determines your success as a putter. However, it's not that easy....
The Catch 22
You see, if you hit it too hard, the ball will cruise right past the hole. When this happens, you will need to make an extended recovery shot.
On the other hand, if you don't put enough pressure on your swing, the ball will stop short of the hole.
Thus, the "Catch 22" of putting.
Hitting the ball too hard will give you less break, or curve. For example, if you hit the ball too hard and had calculated six or seven inches of break, the ball will likely break just two or three inches. And thereby miss the target.
By hitting the ball too hard, even a putt that is only two feet long can cause you to miss the hole completely. Your own power is your downfall.
But, if you hit the ball too gently, the ball may break more than your calculation and also miss the hole.
Therefore, the success of the putt depends on the speed of the ball. Speed, along with distance, go hand and hand on the putting green.
