Rolling Putter

Problem

You lift the putter off of the ground just after contact with the ball.

Cure

Stay down throughout the entire stroke. Do not allow your forward wrist to hinge or push the putter into the ball.

Therapy

Imagine that there are wheels attached to the bottom of the putter. During your forward stroke, you want your hands slightly ahead of the putterhead. This way it almost feels as if you are allowing the club to roll through your stroke. This will allow you to drag the club through the ball instead of pushing it. Remember to keep your wrists quiet throughout the stroke.
