If You Don’t Know THIS...Your Putting Will NEVER Improve

Tour coach Scott Anderson joins Alex Elliott to explain why golfers struggle on breaking putts despite good mechanics. The lesson demonstrates how matching proper target line aim with 'drip feed' entry speed expands the effective cup size and eliminates frequent missing biases.

• Identify directional miss biases using a multi-station tee setup around breaking putts.
• Avoid aiming low and subconscious pushing of the ball up the slope; aim high and trust your line.
• Match ball speed to the higher aim line—softer 'drip speed' makes the cup play effectively larger.
• Maintain your standard straight-putt stroke alignment and let the green's slope do the work.
