The ideal putting stroke moves

Finally, think distance, not speed! While the ultimate objective of getting your ball in the hole doesn't change, a subtle shift in approach--emphasizing distance, not speed--can bring major improvement in your overall putting ability. Distance control comes primarily from the symmetry of your stroke.

The ideal putting stroke moves as far backward as it does forward, with both parts of the stroke in equal temp. This even rhythm can be achieved through a combination of diligent practice and the real understanding that the putter, not you, is responsible for doing the work.

By keeping your head down and still, visualizing from broad to narrow before you putt and concentrate on distance rather than speed, you'll start making putts that you formerly missed.
