Instructions

  1. 1Set a single ball at 5 feet and commit to making 10 in a row.
  2. 2Restart the count from zero on any miss to add real pressure.
  3. 3Check that the follow-through is equal to or longer than the backstroke on every putt.
  4. 4Finish with a note on which misses came from a short, decelerating finish.

What to focus on

Equal or longer follow-through than backswing under pressure.

Common mistake

A short, jabbing finish caused by deceleration when nerves increase.
