How to Roll the Ball Straight for Better Putting Accuracy
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Identify how well you're making contact with the ball using a simple drill
- Recognize the effects of hitting the ball on the toe or heel
- Develop a feel for rolling the ball straight to enhance your putting accuracy
In this drill, you'll learn how to assess your ball contact by rolling a marked golf ball. This technique helps you identify if you're hitting the ball consistently and squarely, which is crucial for improving your putting performance.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.320
Okay the next drill that will help just generally assess how well you're making
2
00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:10.880
contact with the ball is we are going to take a range ball or you could take a
3
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:17.680
regular golf ball and draw a thick black line around the equator. So here's the
4
00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:21.640
golf ball, you got the line right there. I'm just going to place this on the
5
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.560
ground so that it's pointed straight up. I'm not aiming at a hole or anything
6
00:00:25.560 --> 00:00:29.300
because all I'm going to do is assess how well I can roll this ball straight.
7
00:00:29.300 --> 00:00:29.840
If I
8
00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:34.080
roll it straight what you will see is that as it rolls that line will go end
9
00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:38.760
over end and it will look like there's a thick black line on top. If I hit it
10
00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:42.960
either on the toe or the heel or if I hit it with the putter face too far open
11
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:46.760
because remember that was a prerequisite to getting into the speed
12
00:00:46.760 --> 00:00:51.760
class. So if the putter face is not square and I don't hit it in the center
13
00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:56.830
I'm going to get some wobbles. So we'll see how well I can do on this one. So
14
00:00:56.830 --> 00:00:56.960
you
15
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:02.880
get set up and you can see that putter line pretty much rolling end over end as
16
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:13.200
it goes. Now just as a demonstration I will purposely hit this next one way out
17
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:19.840
on the toe as much on the toe as I can and you will see that it's wobbling some
18
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:19.880
.
19
00:01:19.880 --> 00:01:25.280
Now I hit it slow so that you could see that. If you were to hit this ball with
20
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:35.000
a slightly open or slightly closed club face you will see even more wobbles.
21
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:38.920
Okay some of you are probably going to see a ball that wobbles a whole lot. So
22
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:43.960
this is a great just general feedback to see if you're rolling the ball really
23
00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:48.560
well. If not go back and check one of the how to how to start a ball straight
24
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:53.120
online videos to make sure that you are getting the ball to roll properly. Okay
25
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:58.880
so this is a good one for combining speed as well as starting the ball online.
