One thing that 'Science' can't equate for, especially in performance sport, is 'Emotion' and how you, your mind and your mechanics perform under pressure.

DeChambeau had 2 Putts in regulation play to win the Tournament and took 3. He did go on to birdie the 2nd Playoff Hole to get the job done. Back in Italy, Thorbjorn Oleson made a remarkable sand save, which included a lengthy par saving putt, to clinch his victory!

So both winning putts had that great combination of perfect line and speed that's often talked about in being a good putter. But one element that is pretty much overlooked every time in the quest to improve people's putting is 'STRIKE' aka Impact.

The effect and influence that where and how you hit your putter face is pretty much exactly the same outcomes as your Driver.

• A Square Centred strike produces optimum distance and direction.

• Off Centre strikes will produce reduced distance and wayward direction

Yet, on the one Shot where we know perfect line and distance (with a sprinkling of good fortune from nature - IE: the ball doesn't bobble offline due to grass or ground conditions) is the key to success we all too often assume we hit every putt correctly.

One of the biggest causes of inconsistent Strike and Mishits in Putting is due to an Ill-Fitting Putter, followed closely by poor Technique.

Check out these couple of Videos that illustrate the effect strike can have on your putter.
