Perfect practice makes perfect!
I like the discraft putting confidence clinic video(s?) hosted by Mark Ellis. Check them out on YouTube. Rather than teach you what to do with your hands, body, eyes, etc., they focus on making practice EFFECTIVE.
From an educator's standpoint, this is right on the money. Effective practice can be seen as (1) massed practice, in order to learn new content, skills, procedures. (2) distributed practice, to hone and maintain skills, knowledge, etc. Since you know HOW to putt, distributed practice is where to begin.
I'm relying on my memory, but the elements of effective practice outlined in the videos include:
2 sessions of 15 minutes daily. No more time should be committed, you face diminishing returns if you over practice, and that will be frustrating. Be like Little Richard, always quit while your audience (that's you, in this case) wants more.
Putting from your range, so that you are sinking your putts regularly. Train your brain to become confident in what your body is up to.
Stick with one mold, use two discs. (This is the hardest one for me, I like picking up the new hotness as soon as it becomes available).
Reward yourself for following good practice protocol. Small, measurable rewards
Will help you practice regularly. Obviously, a banana split each time would be yummy but stupid.
If anyone remembers other elements, please add them. I practice not as much as I could, but when I do, I try to follow these tips (except I am still throwing bangers, wizards, pa4s, APX's, and whatever cool disc comes my way).
