Miss Your Putts on the Pro Side

Maria Palozola's putting drill challenges you to play enough break on every putt, which many amateurs fail to do. Keeping it on the high side will help you hole more putts.

Pick a breaking putt and take time to read the putt and determine the break. Once you have done this place some tees blocking the middle and low side of the cup to force yourself to hit the putt on the high side and play enough break.

Roll putts of varying lengths practicing this drill to help your eyes better see the break. After some time you will start to see the curve on your putts better and focus on where your ball should enter the cup.

Practice the Miss it on the Pro Side Drill to read plenty of break and miss your putts on the “Pro Side” or high side of the hole. Since most amateurs under read break and most by 50% or more, learning to read enough break will lead to making more putts.

Reading the Green
Top 50 LPGA Teacher Maria Palozola says start reading the green from the fairway and establish a good routine with quality practice strokes that are a realistic rehearsal for your putt.
Hitting Putts Off the Toe or Heel Deliberately
Maria Palozola demonstrates intentionally striking putts off the toe or heel of your putter. In most cases, you should try to strike your golf shots in the sweet spot to control distance and spin, but hitting on the toe or heel in certain circumstances might be of benefit.
Relax and Make More Putts
Maria Palozola demonstrates how to get the tension out of your putting stroke. Tension can make your stroke choppy and make it difficult to control both your distance and your path.
