Putter Gate drill

Master Your Putting Stroke for Centered Contact

Config: Split
Focus: Putting

Drill Objective

This drill utilizes the Path Pal to create a "gate" for your putter, ensuring a consistent and centered strike, much like how top professionals practice

Set-Up

  1. Split the pathpal and place the flat edges together towards each other
  2. Ensure the gap between the halves such that it is just wide enough for the putter head to pass through
  3. Confirm your eyes are positioned directly over the golf ball or slightly inside when you address the putt

Instructions

  1. Place a golf ball in front of the pathpal gate
  2. As you make your putting stroke, concentrate on passing the putter head cleanly through the center of the gate
