That's why I say it can also get really boring. They are worth doing every now and again. But, If nothing wants to connect. i.e. I miss, and I know I'm not going to stop myself from missing to correct it. I just stop putting for that kind of response. If I really mean to stick to practicing with putting. I move to something else. Typically. that means set up a station that requires angle and shot shape to access the basket. Kind of what DG Fanatic is getting at and what the X-series strives for. Unique situations where a specific putt is about THE only way you can even get to the basket. Where your ability to access the right angle is narrowed down to deciding which leg you pivot off of. If you lead, and pivot from your right foot. It blocks access, and you can't get the right shape in time. But, if you lead, and pivot off your left. You have room with your body now to shape the putt in time sort of decisions.This is where I get really fussy teaching.
Because I am well okay with this when done correctly.
But when it goes against just jacking things up its bad.
Because we look back into block practice again, most people stand there and keep trying to make corrections with their arm over and over. this is bad.
So when you send that second putt right away, you gotta not try and correct anything like you're saying. You gotta send it.
But what people dont understand in this situation is you're looking for "did it do almost the exact same thing or not."
Were looking for "did you make an error putting, and thats why you missed" As in, you didn't think about it, you sent it, and the putt went in no effort.
Did it go randomly anywhere else but where I desired in the first place.
Or did it go almost exactly where that other putt went.
So, now you know, shit is bad.
I made a mistake, or my consistency is right on.
I'd rather have option 3 there.
Because i can adjust my feet on my line up a bit and... i'm done. Thats it.
Putts are banging chains.
If its option 1, cool, but.. Am I gotta error again today?
It's great to be able to play boring golf where everything thing off the tee is predictable and lands so that you get to wait for everyone else, and then also have consistently boring putts where you wait for everyone else, and the putt is unobstructed. That rarely happens. So, you create challenges.
