Feel the Weight

Problem

You want a more natural flow to your putts.

Cure

Hold the putter light enough to feel the weight of the putterhead as you make your putts. When you can feel the weight of the putter, it will help your wrist react more naturally during the stroke.

Therapy

Take your normal stance and practice putting with only your trailing arm. This will emphasize the feeling of the weight of the putterhead as it releases with a better flowing stroke. Now use a lighter grip than usual as you putt ten to twelve footers using both hands. As you do, focus mainly on feeling the weight of the putterhead as if it is a pendulum moving. Once you have the natural feel down, work on distance and then worry about aim.
