Some days your putting stroke feels effortless.

The ball rolls beautifully, distance control feels natural, and you're not thinking about much of anything.

Other days, the exact same stroke seems impossible to find.

Here's something most golfers never consider:

The problem may not be your stroke. It may be your rhythm.

Try this tonight.

Grab your putter and make five normal practice strokes without a ball.

Don't think about your hands, shoulders or putter path.

Just notice the rhythm.

Now make one stroke deliberately slow.

Make another noticeably quick.

Then make a few at the pace that feels completely natural.

You may notice something surprising.

There's a certain rhythm where the putter almost seems to move by itself.

And there's a reason that matters.

Good putters don't simply repeat positions.

They repeat timing.

Even as putts get longer, accomplished putters tend to preserve an underlying rhythm while changing the length of the stroke.

And here's where this gets really interesting.

Your putting stroke has a measurable tempo.

You can find it.

You can train it.

And you can even use something as simple as a metronome—or a song in your head—to help make that rhythm repeatable.

Once you understand how it works, you may never think about putting quite the same way again.

Say Good-Bye to Low Point Control (for now)

If fat and thin shots are still costing you strokes, don't put this one off. Low Point Control disappears Sunday at midnight —

The response to Low Point Control has been incredible because it solves one of golf's most frustrating problems. If fat and thin shots still show up too often, this is for you.

Until next time,
