Stop Missing Putts || 5 Tips For Straight Putts Every Time
Porzak Golf analyzes common putting errors, demonstrating how placing the ball too far forward leads to pulled putts. Coach Mike Porzak provides simple setup checks including the feet-together ball position technique, eye-over-ball alignment, and palm-hanging shoulder checks to ensure a consistent putting stroke.
Position the golf ball just ahead of center (directly under your lead eye) to strike the ball slightly on the upswing.
A ball positioned too far forward causes pulled putts because the putter face is already arcing left at impact.
Perform a slight handle press over the ball to deloft the putter face and roll the ball end-over-end with topspin.
Check shoulder alignment by letting your palms hang freely off the grip—matched palms signal square shoulders.
