Hi, I’m Tina Tombs, with Tina Tombs Golf at the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club in Phoenix, Arizona. There are two clubs in our golf bag that we want to hit right on the center of the face; one is the driver, and the second is the putter.
I wanted to give you a tip that’s going to help you get some instant feedback with your putter, and whether or not you’re stroking the ball in the center of your putter face. Now, the reason why we want to make center-of-face contact is because we want to get the right direction and the right speed. When you miss the center of the putter face, you won’t achieve consistent pace or accuracy.
What you’re going to do is you’re going to grab two rubber bands, put them on your putter, and you’re going to practice. You can do this anywhere you want. You can do it indoors, outdoors, anytime of season, whether it’s winter, spring, fall, rain, sunshine, so it’s easy to do. Just place rubber bands ball-width apart on your putter head and start rolling some balls. It’s easy to feel whether or not you hit the center of your putter.
If you don’t hit that rubber band, you know you’re hitting the center of your putter, and you’re going to make more putts and lower your scores.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I MISS THE CENTER OF THE PUTTER FACE?
When you miss the center of the face, the outcome can mean a loss of distance control and accuracy. If you’re missing putts either side of the hole, coming up short, or blasting your putts way past the hole, there’s a good chance you’re not striking the ball consistently in the center of the club face. The good news? Our PXG Battle Ready Putters are fully optimized to suit your stroke type to help you gain more consistency on the green.
HOW DO PXG PUTTERS HELP OFF-CENTER STRIKES?
PXG Battle Ready Putters are high-performance putters designed to suit any stroke.
Each Battle Ready Putter brings distinctive alignment characteristics, ultra-deep CG and adjustable sole weights to optimize MOI and ensure stability and consistency.
When you get fitted for your PXG Putter, your fitting specialist will find the optimal head style (blade or mallet), hosel type and configure the loft, lie, weighting, shaft length, and grip to ensure you only think about one thing and one thing only – sinking that putt.
HOW DO I FIND THE RIGHT HOSEL TYPE FOR MY STROKE?
Battle Ready Putters offer interchangeable hosel types providing multiple putter combinations that can be configured to suit your stroke.
