If you don't know this, you will never be able to hit straight putts

In this putting instruction video, Jerome Rufin breaks down the essential key to hitting straight putts consistently: start-line control and face angle at impact. Learn practical drills and alignment checks to eliminate pushes and pulls on the green.

• Face angle at impact accounts for over 80% of a putt's initial start line.
• Ensure your eyes are directly over or slightly inside the ball line at setup.
• Use a tee gate drill to receive instant feedback on whether your putt starts on line.
• Maintain steady wrist structure throughout the stroke to prevent unwanted face rotation.
