PUTTING INTO THE FUTURE! BY STEVE GUILIANO In the previous month's edition of Golf Infuzion Magazine, we covered the first key element of putting, green reading as well as giving you some modern day techniques to reading the greens. This month we will look into another common trait of being a great putter - the putter face aim. Here are a couple of putting-related questions for you to ponder: When you're putting, do you regularly take aim, become comfortable over a putt, look up - and then become unsure of either your alignment or aim? To compound your uncertainty, do you then make the mistake of adjusting your aim or alignment just before you putt? How many times do you stand over a simple five-foot putt and know you are going to miss? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then there's a good chance you're aiming the putter face incorrectly. Once this 50 GOLF INFUZION MAGAZINE APRIL - MAY 2012 occurs, then you'll need a compensating stroke to get the ball started on line. Invariably, a putt is missed due to poor aim, not stroke mechanics. So, rather than spending an excessive amount of time on specific path and stroke mechanics, consider that taking proper aim is the number one factor in putting - with stroke mechanics at number two. With that said, there are many professionals who aim left or right of their target. This is done on a consistent basis, aiming either very slightly to the left or right, generally inside of 2.0 degrees. Many times I see golfers aiming randomly left or right from putt to putt. Coupled with poor green reading capabilities, this makes holing putts with regularity a tough task. In this article, I'll share with you the latest technology to help with your putter face aim, and ensure you are using your eyes correctly when it comes to your aiming procedure.
