Brit Golf Dad explains how looking at the target during practice strokes improves speed control on the green. By visually connecting the target distance with feel—similar to tossing a ball—golfers can better calibrate stroke weight and make more putts.
Avoid staring at the ground during practice putting strokes, as it offers no feedback on distance.
Look directly at the target or landing spot while taking practice strokes to connect vision with stroke feel.
Ask yourself 'Does that feel the way it looks?' to gauge whether your stroke energy matches the required distance.
