Frogger_PutterOne problem amateurs, and even some pros have, is breaking the wrists in their putting stroke.  Another bad putting habit many have is jerking the putter, or swinging with bad transition timing from backstroke to follow through.  This drill helps fix all of those issues, and can greatly improve the way both arms and hands work together.

One-Handed Putting

The next time you are on the practice putting green, start the practice session with one handed putts on both arms.  Pick a number of strokes, 5-10-25, and putt that many right-handed, then putt that many left-handed.

Using one hand with the putter is a great way to prevent a jerky motion and promote a smooth stroke.

Putting with one hand also makes it much more difficult to break the wrists (wrist in the case of one hand).  The dreaded “flip” stroke is almost impossible with one hand.

After getting a great feel for the stroke, the tempo, and the feeling of one-handed putting, put both hands on the grip and try to keep the same feel in both hands as they stroke together.  The hands should each have the same stroke and feel, but work together as one piece or unit.
