Belly Putter Inconsistency

Problem

You keep missing your putts to the left and right of the cup and you are using a belly putter.

Cure

You might be misreading the break around the hole. You also should check to make sure you are not allowing your hands to misdirect the putter during the stroke.

Therapy

Focus on using just your arms and shoulders to move the putter back and through the stroke. If you allow your hands to interfere with the stroke, it will cause you to make too long of a stroke and open the putterhead as you take the club back and close it during the follow through.
