How To Build The Perfect Putting Stroke

Jerome Rufin works with a coach to fix 'drifty' and disconnected arms in his putting stroke. By using a small foam ball tucked against the arm to maintain constant pressure, golfers can stabilize their wrist action and create a more consistent, pure roll.

• Maintain constant pressure between your lead arm and the body to ensure a connected stroke.
• Avoid 'throwing' the putter head with your wrists, which causes inconsistent face angles.
• Use a lightweight foam ball for feedback rather than a standard golf ball to avoid counterbalancing the putter.
• Check your backstroke for 'drifting'—excessive arm movement away from the body leads to inconsistency.
