Hover Don't Rest: A Simple Putting Tip for Better Strokes

Many golfers rest their putter fully on the ground before initiating their stroke. This introduces a subtle challenge: the need to lift the putter before the backstroke, which often causes the putter to move slightly away from the player.

A more effective approach: hover the putter just above the ground, barely touching the grass. This allows you to start your backstroke smoothly without the need to lift first. In a game where putting is extremely sensitive to extra movements, this small adjustment can have a significant impact.
