Answer by Golf ‘n Pix
Both speed and line are important in putting, but if you have to put worth on it then Speed is more important than the line. if you’re off on your read, your speed could be the difference for the ball going in or staying out. You can take break out of a putt by hitting the ball a little harder. Or add more break by hitting it a little shorter. Speed is the most important. But speed without at least a nearly proper line doesn’t do much good.

In putting, the ball should be positioned forward of center. How far forward is up to you. The best putters add a little loft to the putter when they make a stroke and this gets the ball rolling end over end. the roll is very important because that’s what determines when the putt will take the break and how much it will take. If the ball is skidding or is not rolling true, then it will affect the direction and distance of the putt.
To check this true roll- use the ball itself. Most balls have a manufacturer’s mark on the side. Usually it says the type of the ball (not the manufacturer’s name and number). It’s normally written in with a line or a dashed mark on each end. use this as an arrow. If you line that name up towards the direction of roll and you hit it properly you should see that name and mark rolling end over end and creating a line.

Answer by boyfaceddog
There are two pretty good ways to putt in the cold months. The time-tested cup-on-the-floor method, and indoor mini-golf. Both offer about the same experience, but the cup method, along with a deep pile rug, allows you to add difficulty to your putting.

I went to the driving range recently and started something that I have never done before, putting with one hand and it felt so good. My line was so right that all the balls went straight for the cup. All I want to know is, is it legal or accaptable in terms of golf rules to put one handed.

I have slightly longer clubs than I kind of need and so when I putt I end up with cupped hands I think it’s called. I try to putt without doing that but it just doesn’t feel right and sometimes I end up with them still cupped. So I tried putting with my hands a little forward and I putt better. I just wanted to know if that’s okay or if it’s a bad habit to get into or if I just shouldn’t be doing it. Plus, if anyone could also tell me a good way to control my putting speed. Sometimes I go past the hole and sometimes I hit the ball short. Thanks in advance!

Answer by ELISE
i think its because you have positioned your hands incorrectly why you past the hole so often. but it also seems like you are not practicing the correct grip. do some research on the interlock grip and practice it for a while. you may very well find that your swing will improve. http://www.shopgolf.info also has some more golfing advice. i hope i was helpful

How much of a difference does it make putting a high end putter on turf than grass? Feel wise, does it make a big difference??

Answer by thelau
I’ve always found astro-turf to be faster than regular grass, even during a dry heat wave. It doesn’t matter what kind of putter you use either, whether it be a Scotty Cameron or a mini-putt putter.
