This Drill is PERFECT for Learning Pace Control #golf #golfputting #golfer
Luke Hanlon demonstrates the 'Luke Donald Hammer Drill,' a technique designed to improve putting pace and commitment. By treating the putter like a hammer and the ball like a nail, golfers learn to accelerate through impact and use a 'sawn-off' follow-through to achieve consistent distance control.
Visualize hammering a nail into the back of the golf ball to ensure acceleration into impact.
Avoid an overly long or 'loopy' follow-through, which can lead to poor pace control.
A shorter, 'stabbing' follow-through helps the ball pop off the face with more consistent force.
This technique is used by elite putters like Tiger Woods and Cameron Smith, especially on mid-range putts.
Committing to the strike with a firm impact makes it easier to judge distances.
