Sweet spot by the putter

The sweet spot is the particular spot that every club has, where it hits with pure impact. The shot feels good, looks good and gives the best results.

It is not uncommon for this factory mark to be off by a little, so find the sweet spot for yourself and mark it properly.

To find the sweet spot on your putter, hold the putter lightly out in front of you by the thumb and forefinger and allow it to swing easily, hold it in the same position it would be in if you were putting, now tilt the shaft of your golf equipment until the bottom of the putter is parallel to the ground.

Using the eraser end of a pencil or some other pointed object, gently tap the putterface until you find the one spot that causes the head to swing back and forth without any twisting of the face, no wobbling and with little or no vibration.

You have found your putters sweet spot; mark it well for reference during play. Making a grove in the top of the putter is one way to mark it; you may want to fill the groove with white paint so it is easier to see.

The sweet spot is a small spot around your golf clubs center of gravity, when you hit a ball with the sweet spot it goes exactly where you want it to go because the head doesnt move out of alignment with the target.

Statistics show that if you miss the sweet spot by as little as a quarter of an inch you will miss every putt by at least eight feet, the sweet spot is that important to your ability to putt.

On most putters the sweet spot is marked by a line or arrow that has been cut into the topline or the part of the putter you see when you are addressing the ball.

Milled Putters Review

Milled To Perfection

One of the most beautiful pieces of golf equipment is the putter. In fact, a finely crafted milled putter is often considered a work of art among golf clubs aficionados.

Why, you ask? Well, milled (meaning it’s literally cut out of a chunk of metal) putters are generally praised for their uniformity, straightness and balance—three reasons why milled putters also tend to be on the higher side when it comes to price. But then again, if you take putting seriously and you want beautiful putters made with impeccable attention to detail, a milled one might be right up your alley. Here’s a look at five top-contending milled flatsticks available for you to buy right now.

TaylorMade Rossa TP
CNC-milled out of 1020 carbon steel to precise measurements, the Rossa TP putters by Kia Ma have become popular for their resilient feel and sound. The muted black finish is highlighted with strategically located tungsten weights for even greater balance. Six models are available.

Scotty Cameron Kombi
We’re not sure how to pronounce it either, but the Kombi is the latest nontraditional mallet milled from renowned puttermaker Scotty Cameron. It’s actually made of aircraft-grade aluminum, making its chassis lighter and more receptive to the three tungsten weights located to the sides and in the back of the clubhead of golf equipment. Finish off with high-contrast red graphics and sightlines, and the Kombi is a sophisticated putter that’s technologically advanced, too.

Exotics David Glod Tour Proto
Company founder and master designer David Glod designed these putters to be milled from stainless steel for the utmost in feel and balance. The traditional shapes have been tweaked to reflect the Exotics line, most noticeably with the Multi-Level X-Grip face pattern that gently grips the ball to help promote a better, more immediate initial roll. Multiple styles available.

Bettinardi/Mizuno Black Carbon Series
Master putter designer Bob Bettinardi designed the Black Carbon Series putters with a “Feel Impact Technology” face insert that lessens face contact with the ball at impact and gives off a responsive feel. The glare-resistant black finish and signature honeycomb face exude craftsmanship. Multiple head models and shaft options are available.

Odyssey Black Series i
By combining a carbon-steel body with a heavier tungsten flange, the new Black Series i from Odyssey also has a multilayer face insert for better feel and a higher MOI. All this technology tends to get overwhelming on paper, but the putter actually represents a clean, classic appearance. The Black Series i proves you can have a high-tech putter that looks and feels like a classic milled one. A variety of styles are available, including the popular 2-Ball.

Most Useful Putting Tips

Many golfers consider putting a secondary part of the game and spend more time practicing hitting their woods or irons. Yet putting accounts for 43 percent of the game, according to the PGA Teaching Manual. For golfers who want to shave strokes from their game, the putting green is one of the best places to do it.

Step 1 Practice your putting. Before you hit the course, take some time on a practice green. Grab two golf balls and practice long putts (10 feet and beyond) and short putts (within about 5 feet). While the goal with long putts is to make them, that goal is not always realistic. Your secondary goal, therefore, should be to leave yourself with a short putt. Your goal should be to make all of your short putts, because doing so while you are practicing will give you confidence when you are playing a round of golf with great golf clubs.

Step 2 Maintain a routine. Putting is a mental game, and a loss of confidence in your putting stroke can be particularly detrimental. Developing and maintaining a putting routine strengthens your mental game. Kneel behind the ball and read the green, no matter how short the putt. Take a practice stroke, then address the ball. The individual elements of the routine are not as important as having a routine. By doing so with your golf clubs, you will approach each putt the same way and maintain your comfort level on the green.

Step 3 Learn to read the greens. When you have your favourite golf clubs, you should learn how to read the greens. Kneel behind your ball and look at the path to the hole. Does the green tilt one way or the other? Are there multiple places between your ball and the hole where the terrain is uneven? As you read the green, imagine what the terrain will do to the path your ball is taking. Again, practice is an important part of being able to read greens. While you are on the practice green, seek places where the green slopes and hit your ball through the breaks. See how the ball reacts and keep the results in mind when you play on the course.

Step 4 Strike the putt. If you have practiced putting enough, you will not think about the mechanics of the stroke. Instead, you will be focused on the correct speed and on the correct line. A good way to determine how hard to strike the putt is to pretend you are bowling your ball toward the cup, instead of striking it with golf clubs. The force with which you hit the ball should be the same force you would use to roll your ball to the cup. Keep in mind, too, that if the green is sloped, you will have more success aiming toward the high side of the cup. Even if your putt is off line, gravity will force the ball toward the hole.

Use only two golf balls when you are practicing your putting. Some golfers hit their practice putts too quickly if they have too many balls. With two balls, you will be more likely to focus on each individual putt.
