My putting is beyond awful right now. I've tried so many different things, stagger vs. straddle, different loading points, different foot angles, spin, push, etc. Every time I think I have something figured out, it won't transfer over to the next day, or even the next practice session. And I don't even want to talk about taking it to the course. It's just beyond a nightmare out there the last month or two.
But this question isn't about that, or at least I don't think it is.
My question, in its simplest form, is what percentage of putts do you expect to make from 20 feet in your backyard? I'm not talking one time, I mean every time, over time.
The reason I'm asking about 20 feet is because it seems to me that's roughly the distance where putts stop going from "I can yeet this into the basket any old way" to "I need to actually putt this with proper form". That's the distance things go from trivial to terrible for me. And it seems to me, in your backyard, under ideal conditions, you ought to be pretty near 100% at 20'. If you can't make putts nearly automatically at that distance, I'm thinking something has to be off with what you are doing.
Is that off base? Or is it valid?
