This Putting Genius Shows Me a Drill to Solve a 3 year problem

Jerome Rufin receives a putting lesson focused on mastering the 5-15 foot range. The instructor highlights the importance of speed control, specifically aiming to leave the ball one foot past the hole, and identifies how face angle compensations can mask alignment issues.

• Aim to hit putts so they would finish approximately one foot past the hole if they missed.
• The 5 to 15 foot range is the most critical metric for outperforming competitors.
• A closed face angle at impact is often a compensation for being aimed too far to the right (or vice versa).
• Using 'fake holes' or target disks helps you better visualize the necessary speed and line without the distraction of a physical cup.
