Do You Have the Guts to Use a Belly Putter?

Since last years British Open and TPC when Sergio Garcia was playing so well due to his new found putting stroke, everyone is asking, What is the deal with these belly putters????

To put it briefly, belly putters are designed to help golfers better control their putting arc by reducing their range of motion. This is accomplished by increasing the length and thickness of the club when compared to other putters. While it is only recommended for short putting, it has quickly become a fad amongst players hoping to improve their scores.

An obvious disadvantage of the belly putter is the reduced feedback the golfer feels due to its added length. This has led detractors of the belly putter to say it us a club for aging golfers as well as "for those with no other hope of improving their scores." Ouch. Sorry, Sergio.

"If belly putters are so good, prove it in the pros!" That's what the skeptics say. Sergio showed it can improve one's ability, but the ultimate test at August for the Masters has yet to occur. If Sergio or another player can win using the belly putter, maybe it would put some of these complaints to bed.

Belly putters are associated with older players, but Sergio Garcia's putting has cost him so much that he's using one. Men who use belly putters are basically announcing to the world that they have the yips and are desperately searching for a cure Sometimes, there is no cure, Just ask some of the best ball strikers on the mini-tours who never quite made it because of their putting I for one say, if it helps you, go for it.

Belly putters are the new trend for golfers looking to improve their putting. Belly putters are just one more club that's available for us to use to improve our game. They are available in various fixed lengths from 100 to 115 cm and almost all of the manufacturers in our Putting Section sell them.

As the season draws closer look for reviews on all the best belly putters, written by yours truly.

I happen to be one of the ones that thinks they're for old guys with bad backs, but we shall see...

Understanding How to Use Golf Putters

Golf putters can take years of practice to master. Between learning how to drive the golf ball with enough force to send it sailing far enough down the fairway and understanding the basic skills of golf in order to develop a decent golf swing, it can take quite a long time to grasp the basics. Putting can be even more difficult to learn, as golf putters require accuracy-and, that isn't quite easy to grasp.

Putting skills can be improved through golf training academies, or sometimes it can also be quite helpful to work with a caddy. Some people, though, prefer to work on improving their skills on their own because they enjoy analyzing the terrain themselves. Experts also suggest doing putting training with the eyes closed.

Closing the eyes during golf training may sound rather peculiar; however, it can definitely help anyone improve their handling of their golf putters. Professional golfers use this technique quite frequently. The purpose of the eyes-closed method is to allow golfers to really feel how their golf putters work. Here are the steps to this method:

Place some golf balls on the green. Use a putter to hit them while your eyes are closed, taking care to notice how the stroke feels as you putt.

Drop some more golf balls down. This time, putt with your eyes open; however, do not try aiming toward a goal. Instead, putt with feeling, paying attention to the stroke without concerning yourself about where the ball is going.

Now place more golf balls on the green. This time you are going to putt with your eyes closed-and you are putting toward the hole. Don't stress about it, though-relax and try to get the same feel with the golf putters as you had before, even though you are heading for a target this time.

By incorporating this technique into your routine, you will get much more skilled at using your golf putters. However, do not expect to become skilled at this right away, as it does take quite a bit of practice-as well as time, effort, and diligence--to learn.

Learning to use golf putters accurately also involves figuring out how to read the greens. The greens are different on every hole of every course; therefore, each requires a different approach. You will need to learn how to work your putter on different types of grasses and in different conditions as well. It is important to understand how to interpret each individual green.

The greens aren't necessarily all that difficult to read-but, just like every other part of the sport of golf, it will take some practice in order to learn to read them easily. This is something that you must learn, too, so that you can successfully use your golf putters.

Speed and slope are the most important parts of working the greens. You must learn to discern the slope of the greens so that you can putt the ball with enough force so as to take the ball past the hole by about 15 to 17 inches. According to golf training professionals, this is the best way to keep the ball in a straight line toward the hole. If the ball is hit without enough speed, it will slow down and begin to follow the natural slope of the green, possibly rolling away from the hole.

It can be upsetting to miss the hole when golfing; however, you may take heart in knowing that even the best golfing professionals often miss their targets. Professionals make only about 50% of their 6-foot putts-even though they have years of experience and golf training. Amateurs cannot expect to have greater skills with their golf putters.

It isn't easy to learn to use golf putters with great ability; but, any golfer can certainly gain skill with enough practice and effort.
