How do I improve my putting distance control on the greens? Learn how to control your acceleration!

One of the main reasons for 3 putting is down to poor distance control. To overcome this frustration golfers need to learn what are the key factors that help them control their putting speed. Your putting acceleration profile determines your ability to match your intended speed. In this video we take a dive into how we can do that.

Most people and in particular golfers do not know the difference between RHYTHM and TEMPO. They often use them as synonyms which they are not. I know you have an outstanding reputation as an expert on putting and as such an eminent authority you could help all Golfdom by setting forth two proper definitions.
Cheers and great work.

Mr. Kenyon, just speaking from my perspective, how many golfers actually know the distance they're putting to ? How many take the time to look at the grain and determine if they're putting with, or against ? Just like using a mirror to help you set up over a putt and commit that feeling to memory when you don't use one, the same can be said for pacing off 4, 5, 10, 15 feet etc. and remembering the effort of the follow through to get the ball to the cup for the particular distance. I am an amateur golfer, but your basic tips for improvement in this most important scoring portion of the game, coupled with a basic understanding of how to gauge the slope, grain, and pacing off distance can reduce the score of a round by more than a few strokes. An average golfer shoots 96 in a round, and 40 strokes or more are made with a putter. I for one am grateful you share your knowledge so that when diligently practiced, you can roll the rock with feel and confidence and go from a high handicapper to a single digit getting more proficient with just this one club. Thanks for all you do.

Counterweighting putters helps distance control. Also got a blast motion sensor, and this helps with getting right speed.

Phil, how do you calibrate how far to take the club back for a given putt length? Is this from trial and error? Is there a general guide? Thanks

Using a metronome what number do you suggest for tempo. Thank you

[cavis]

Tour average is 90 bpm. This video sounds v complicated. Just get a metronome and set it to 90 and have every swing long or short put at this tempo. Bingo!

Much too technical for me. Would prefer demo in real rather than stimulated setting so we see the real world effects of the concepts he's discussing.
