GOLF SET right here! Golf Set Tips & Guide!

Take time forming your putting grip.Just as in the full swing,the placement of your hands makes a big difference to your final stroke.
Others reverse the position of their hands on the club,which is called “cross handed” .A few even putt from the opposite side to the one they use for their normal golf swing.In addition,golfers may choose to set their grip strong,weak or neutral.
Common and sound
But the most common grip I see used today is what is called the “reverse overlap’.It’s the one I prefer,and the one I recommend to most golfers I teach.It is the most fundamentally sound putting grip,and offers the average player the highest chance of success.With this grip,the hands are positioned on the club in a way that naturally binds them together as a unit,while removing any tendency to get ‘wristy’in the putting motion.
In the reverse overlap,the palms are positioned in opposition to each other,which also provides stability.Combined with the proper set up and stroke,this grip gives the golfer the best chance of keeping his putter square or moving it straight along the imaginary target line to propel the ball forwards on the correct line to the hole.
Assuming a grip
Here’s how to assume the reverse overlap grip:
Place your left hand against the grip handle of the putter,leaving a gap at the top of at least an inch(2.5).Now grip the club lightly with the middle,third and little fingers of your left hand.Keeping your forefinger off the shaft,point your thumbstraight down the grip.
Place all four fingers of your right hand on the club,aligning the grip along the pads at the base of the fingers.The little finger of the right hand should be resting snugly against the middle finger of the left hand and the right thumb should also be pointing straight down the grip handle.

I believe that having a consisten pre-shot routine is one of the most important aspects of putting.

Watch the professionals.Their routine never varies.And when they are distracted and forced to back off a putt,they always go back to the beginning of their pre-shot routine,doing the same thing over and over and over.

Steady Aim

The first thing I do is to walk behind my ball and study the line that I think the putt will take-I’ll explain about how to decide on the line and how to read the green in the next sessions.I can usually get the best perspective on that line by squatting down on my haunches.

Then I approach the ball.Standing to the side of my line and setting the putter down,I aim the face parallel to the target line.Finally,I set my body,aligning my hands,arms and shoulders square to the lineand the head of the putter.

Notice I said aim the putter first,then align the body!Doing the reverse virtually guarantees that I will be out of sync with my target and miss the putt.

Line and Pace

Now it’s time to take practice stroke or two alon or rather parallel to the intended line,not at the target.If I were to aim directly at the target,I’d be setting myself up to hit right of the hole later then I address the ball.

The number of practice strokes is up to you,but my advice is not to overdo it-one or two is about right.Each stroke should be a mini-rehearsal for the real thing.I’m trying to get a feel for the pace,or speed,of my putt,and to groove my actual stroke.

Lastly,I step up to the ball,keeping everything lined up by sliding the putter forward without changing its aligment and moving both feet up and equal amount.Now,with the putter blade right behind the ball,I look down the target line towards the hole,this time trying to assess only the pace-the speed at which I will hit the ball rather than the line.

I might check the line once or twice,but the also absolute rule of thumb here is to swivel the head when doing so-rather than lifting or turning it.If I do the latter,I lose the visual sight line and may even affect the alignment of my body.
