Improve Your Lag Putting with Effective Speed Control Drills

After this video, you'll be able to:

  • Control the speed of your putts more effectively during practice.
  • Gauge your distance more accurately with different angles and slopes.
  • Receive immediate feedback on your pace, helping to refine your putting stroke.

In this video, you'll learn a fun putting drill called fringe lagging, which focuses on speed control and distance accuracy. By practicing this, you'll develop the skills needed to consistently finish within a foot of the fringe, enhancing your overall putting performance.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.920
This putting game is fringe lagging. So basically I've got a handful of balls

2
00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:05.240
and

3
00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:10.320
grabbed about five. I'm going to hit putts to different spots. So from this one

4
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:14.160
particular spot I'm going to hit to different angles and my goal is to

5
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:20.200
finish this within one foot of the fringe. So this is a speed control game

6
00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:27.960
not really a target game because I'm just kind of picking a vague spot on the

7
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:31.480
fringe. Now you can be real tough and say if it goes into the fringe it doesn't

8
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:38.000
count. So that's over one. Now we're going to aim a little bit further down

9
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:47.240
the line. And it's a good way to kind of start working on that's over two with

10
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:51.800
the same distance into the fringe. So I'm calibrated a little strong today. But

11
00:00:51.800 --> 00:00:55.920
this is a great game for working on controlling whether it's length of

12
00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:01.010
putt, pace of putt kind of refining that skill of how you controlled speed. So

13
00:01:01.010 --> 00:01:01.040
now

14
00:01:01.040 --> 00:01:08.840
we go a little bit further down. And the more thing that's going to be a point.

15
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:14.280
Alright so there's one for three. The flatter the green the easier it's going

16
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.520
to be. The more that you have to work around hills the more challenging it's

17
00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:21.320
going to be. But also the less sensitive you're going to be as to how well you

18
00:01:21.320 --> 00:01:25.880
did with controlling either the pace or the distance. So we'll go a little bit

19
00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:34.800
further. I might come up short. I was trying to gauge this little downhill. I

20
00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:42.920
think it got in. Nope. One for four. Now we're going to go kind of all the way

21
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:55.880
down towards that tree. Alright so two for five. Not my best. But a good way to

22
00:01:55.880 --> 00:02:00.480
work on distance control. You can pre-pace and put targets so that you kind of

23
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:03.720
have an idea of how you're calibrating and how you're gauging. But it's a good

24
00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:08.120
way to give you a target. And solid feedback as far as how well you're

25
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:12.000
controlling the pace of your stroke.
