Belly putters work better for some people because there is less of a chance that you will push or pull the putterhead off line either going back or coming forward in the putting stroke.

Will I have To Change My Posture With a Belly Putter?

No. You can get a belly putter shaft that is long enough to touch your midsection without being so long as to force you to putt from a more upright stance. Belly putter shafts range from about 38 – 48 inches so you can get the right length for you. The photo below shows that Sergio Garcia putts with the same posture with his belly putter as he did with is conventional putter.

What Is the Proper Belly Putter Technique?

The best putting stroke mimics a pendulum whether or not you are using a belly putter. You do lose a little “feel” with the belly putter so because the belly putter shaft is somewhat attached to your midsection some golfers have a tendency to rock their body during the putting stroke.

When Fred Couples switched to a belly putter he had to overcome this tendency.

Which Are the Best Belly Putters?

The Ping belly putter and the Odyssey belly putter are probably the two best selling brands. The Odyssey White Hot XG 2-Ball Mid Putter has that famous Osyssey two-ball alignment system that so many people seem to like, and it is reasonably priced at under $120.

Proper belly putter length is the critical issue, even before brand names or style. To measure for proper belly putter shaft length assume your normal putting posture at address. Have somebody measure from your belly button to a specific spot on the ground about 9-10 inches from your toes. Read the tape measure and that is the length of the belly putter you need. Do the measuring several times and average out the results.

According to the National Golf Foundation, an industry research service, the average 18 hole score for the average golfer has not changed for decades and remains at about 108. That the average golf score is not declining remains a mystery to many people in the profession. It is not a mystery to the author of the putting drills book.

If you include yourself in the average golfer category and you desperately do want to break 100 on a consistent basis, the answer is not getting the latest and greatest $500 driver or even another putter. The fastest way to break 100 is to stop 3 putting.

Americans spend close to five billion dollars a year on golf equipment. A good deal of that going towards $500 drivers and $200 putters. There are 26 million golfers in America and every survey confirms the same thing, that despite the national statistics every individual golfer believes that his own golf game is getting better. Consumer marketing research people know what’s going on. Golfing equipment consumers will self-assess their performance based on the amount of money they spend for equipment. If they spend $500 on a driver then they automatically have become a better driver. They may still be whacking the ball out of bounds, but it’s going out of bounds further down range.

The fastest way to break 100 is to stop 3 putting.

If you really are the average golfer then you probably three putt from 8 – 10 times a round. Do the math.

Everybody wants to be the big hitter off the tee. That will never change until the day that testosterone is banned from golf courses. So go ahead and pound away and nobody is going to try to talk you out of it. But if you are serious about lowering your golf score have you ever a taken putting lesson from the Pro or somebody else who really knew how to putt? Have you ever gone to the practice facility and just spent the day with your putter and never picked up the big club?

A proven way to stop 3 putting is a click away

If you really want to eliminate your three putts and break 100 every time you go out I recommend Scott Meyers’ ebook Breakthrough Putting Secrets Revealed. It’s the number one best-selling book about putting on the Internet, and for good reason. People buy it, and they go to golfing forums and talk it up because it helped them out so much. You would have to be crazy to let this little secret slip out to the other guys in your regular foursome until you’ve gotten your money for every skin back and then some. They will start asking questions.

I am confident the book will help you too because it addresses the most common faults and gives you simple solutions to correct them. Once you can identify the problem that has been preventing you from being a good putter the actual fix is usually pretty simple. Most golfers are not good, consistent putters because they never learned how to putt the right way. To help reinforce your new skills the book includes drills you can practice at home or at the office.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a man or woman, young or old, right on left handed Breakthrough Putting Secrets Revealed will make you a better putter.

It’s guaranteed or your money back – and you keep the book

Scott Meyers is so confident that you’ll become a better putter that you get a rock-solid 60 day money-back guarantee. If your score is not dropping the first time after you read the book and put it into practice you can get all your money-back and still keep the book.

If you love golf as much as the people I know, an indoor putting green would make not only a good investment, but a fun way to sharpen your golf skills. Putting mats come in various lengths and widths with some extending as long as fifteen feet. They include many different features such as incline, smooth surface, sand traps, non-skid backs, and cups. Most do not require batteries or electricity unless you choose to go with a more expensive model that will provide you with more “bells and whistles.” Although, there are some very reasonably priced models (around $50.00) that include a battery operated automated kick back putting cup.

Whatever model of putting mats you choose to go with, it certainly will improve your golf game and offer you hours of entertainment and skill building. A putting mat can be rolled up into the bag that comes with it and taken just about anywhere. You can practice both at home or in the office; you can even take putting mats along on vacation. Even if a few rounds of golf is on your vacation agenda, you can use your putting mat if it rains or in between rounds of golf.

Another great feature that will make owning a putting mat a good investment is that many offer a continuous return. So whether you make the putt or miss it, the ball will return to you automatically. Some brands also offer more than one putting cup which will allow you to practice not only in a straight line, but you can practice a curved putt as well. If you choose a model that has a smaller than regulation size cup, it will help the cup look bigger on the golf course which in turn could help you make more putts. Many putting mats are even stable enough to walk on. So whatever style you choose to go with, putting mats are a great investment!
