With regards to scoring, putting is the most significant aspect of the game. It represents approximately 40 to 50 percent of your score. Studies have shown that just about 10 percent improvement in putting has greater impact on the score than a 10 percent improvement in any part of the game. You cannot always rely on your swing to conquer more greens in regulation. Hence, good putting is absolutely essential to make up for the losses.

The most crucial aspect of putting is proper body alignment. If you wish to make consistent putts, your body should be aligned accurately along the correct line. Take the analogy of driving a car with misaligned tires. The car will either pull to the left or the right. It will never move long the straight line. Similarly, in putting, if you align your body too far right or left of the ‘ball to pin’ line, you will surely miss the putt.

A majority of golfers misalign as well as under-read their putts. Good players use as many as 32 putts out of the allotted 36 putts per round. Hence, don’t feel bad if your putting stroke is not perfect. With lots of practice and proper body alignment, you can also improve your putting. Nowadays, a wide assortment of putting aids are available that can help you to improve your alignment.

A putter is one such putting aid that can help you with your alignment. There are hundreds of different models out there, and you can purchase any one of them that is well-balanced and feels good. With the help of the putter, you can practice putting right in the comfort of your home. Even top professional golfers practice putting for innumerable hours on their carpets either to improve or maintain their putting strokes. Hence, carpet practice and proper body alignment will certainly improve your putting stroke too.
