Putting isn’t just about speed — acceleration matters too.

The way the putter accelerates through impact can influence:
🏌️ Ball speed — too much acceleration can send the ball racing past the hole.
🎯 Distance control — smooth, controlled acceleration helps produce more consistent pace.
🧭 Face stability — a rushed or overly aggressive stroke can make it harder to keep the putter face square.
🧠 Consistency — focusing on a smooth transition and controlled acceleration can help repeat your stroke under pressure.

The goal isn’t to “hit” the ball harder — it’s to create a smooth, predictable acceleration pattern that gives you confidence over every putt.

Smooth acceleration = better control.

Comment “Wedge” for details of my online Short Game Series.

Get closer to the pin — better wedge distance control = more makeable putts & lower scores.

1. Stop overestimating your distance. You don’t hit it as far you think you do. Just because you hit 9iron 170yds ONE time, doesn’t mean you hit jt 170yds. Hit balls on a trustworthy launch monitor (10+ good strikes) and take the average CARRY distance. That’s the real distance you hit it ensuring you carry bunkers etc at the front of greens improving your GIR stats.

2. Stop implementing swing tips from your buddies, like “keep your head down”. Let’s face it, your buddies still work a 9-5 and don’t fully understand the advice they’re giving you, despite their best intentions. Find a coach with substantial knowledge in the area you want to improve and listen to them.

3. Forget copying tour pro swings. Clearly, there’s aspects of their swings worthy of emulating however they train on and off the course 6 days a week. This means their bodies have very different capabilities. If you’re wanting to improve then figure out what your body can do and build a functional swing around that.

4. When you play on the course, play with purpose. There’s always a place for casual rounds where you can pick up from a couple feet, however true development comes from playing in the purest form. No more mulligans off the first tee, no more rolling balls out of divots, begin playing real golf.

5. Lastly, the one that should really hit home… Actually PRACTICE! Practice doesn’t mean just bashing 100 balls. Have a process tailored around what you’re trying to improve. Make your practice challenging, score able and measurable. Only then will practice truly take steps forward.
