Here’s how to hit your putts solid. The key is to hit the ball in the middle of the putter face. Try hitting some balls without a hole. With the no-hole drill, step over your putter and get nice and relaxed. Look about 12-13 feet ahead of you and make a stroke. Your body should be very still, only rocking your shoulders back and through. When you hit the putt, you can actually hear it. Start by hitting two putts, one short and one longer. Focus on that golf ball and you’ll start hitting solid putts and you’re going to make more putts and shoot lower scores.
