The Knee Stabilizer Putting Drill | TrueStrike

Quiet Your Lower Body for More Consistent Putting

Focus: Putting

Drill Objective

Excessive lower body movement is a common "putt-killer" that prevents the putter face from returning squarely to the ball. This drill uses the TrueStrike as a stabilization tool between the knees to create a rock-solid foundation, allowing your upper body to rock the putter consistently every time.

Set-Up

  1. Take the TrueStrike
  2. Step into your putting stance.
  3. Place the TrueStrike directly between your knees.

Instructions

  1. Squeeze the TrueStrike lightly with your knees to engage your lower body and create stability.
  2. Focus on keeping your "nose and knees" perfectly still throughout the stroke.
  3. Make several practice strokes, feeling your upper body and shoulders doing the work while the TrueStrike keeps your base quiet.
  4. Once you feel stable, begin hitting short to mid-range putts while maintaining the unit between your knees.
