Start line practice with the Putting Thing by WhyGolf
WhyGolf demonstrates how to use 'The Putting Thing' training aid to improve putting start lines. This video focuses on setting up a physical gate to provide immediate feedback on face angle at impact, helping golfers develop a more consistent and accurate putting stroke.
The start line is determined almost entirely by the face angle of the putter at impact.
Using a physical gate like 'The Putting Thing' provides instant visual feedback on whether you pushed or pulled the putt.
Narrowing the gate heightens the difficulty and requires more precision in your stroke.
Consistent start-line practice helps separate green-reading errors from execution errors.
