Tips & Articles
How do you stop shanking the ball?
1 - Strengthen your grip in set up so when you look at how many knuckles are showing on your left hand you should see between two or three knuckles.
2 - Relax your grip and arms to help create a release trough impact.
3 - To check you have made a good release through impact the right forearm should have crossed the left at hip high on the follow through.

I am always 3 putting instead of 2 putting. Do you have any advice on how I can sink the short putts?
1 - Focus on input rather than output i.e. concentrate on your putting action not the end result.
2 - Make sure the putter face remains square to target on the back and through stroke, work on making a smooth pendulum action with equal lengths on the Backswing and follow-through.
