PUTTING FUNDAMENTAL 3

Title

THE FUNDAMENTALS OF PUTTING

3: WE NEED A POSITIVE ANGLE OF ATTACK COMBINED WITH THE CORRECT LOFT

KEY POINTS:

  • Rise angle and loft interact to determine the quality of the ball’s launch and roll conditions – This can affect distance and direction

  • Loft on the club needs to be lower than the rise angle at impact for the beginning of the forward roll to occur

  • Loft at impact determines approx. 90% of the launch angle

  • Highlights the importance of “Hand Start Position” and the loft of the putter

  • Optimum angles? 1-2 launch, 2-3 rise
