Transform Your Short Putts with This Secret Drill #GolfTips #PuttingDrill

Michael Kanev outlines three essential pillars for mastering short putts: green reading, start line, and speed control. He specifically highlights the technique of reading green slopes from a distance while walking up to the hole to better identify subtle breaks and shadows.

• Read green slopes from a distance as you walk up to the green to see subtle breaks more clearly.
• Your start line is inextricably linked to your pace; a harder hit requires a straighter line.
• Factor in how ball speed changes the break—softer putts will take more of the slope than firmer ones.
• Visualizing the ball going into the hole is a critical part of the green reading process.
