Two of the best putters on the PGA Tour over the last 5 years have been Brandt Snedeker and Russell Henley. Both are multiple winners on tour and Snedeker even has a Fed-Ex Cup title to his name. What do these two have in common? They both have old fashioned pop style strokes, featuring a quick rhythm and when the putter strikes the ball, it makes a nice noise where you can actually here the strike.
Amateurs who struggle with speed especially leaving the ball short of the cup, will do well to copy these two on the greens.
Drill: Drop 3 balls about 10 feet from the cup with a putt that breaks slightly. Take a couple tees and place 1 tee on the line behind the ball so you will need to shorten your stroke so as to not hit the tee on your backswing. Strike the putt and make a pop stroke like Snedeker and Henley on the ball to get it rolling forward. You will notice the ball will start on line and the putter head will come through impact more square and the strike will feel more solid. It is easier to manipulate the face when the putter has more space to travel to get back to the ball.
