What makes a great putt? Golfers have debated this for decades. The Albatross Sports is a Chinese golf equipment manufacturer with over 30 years of experience in producing golf woods, irons, and accessories. We understand that the key to putting isn’t a one-size-fits-all technique—it’s about finding what works for you.
History shows there’s no universal method. In 1912, Harry Vardon wrote in The Art of Putting: “Every player must find their own style.” Over 100 years later, this still holds true. At the 2023 Masters, the top five players used five completely different putting styles. Some locked their wrists; others swung like a pendulum. Results? All performed exceptionally.
A coach once tested two groups of golfers: one using wrist-lock putting, the other a pendulum stroke. After three months, both groups averaged nearly the same score. But individual improvements varied wildly. One golfer cut three strokes per round; others barely improved. Why? Because “Putting is about training your body, not copying others,” says pro coach Dave Stockton.
Most experts agree that:
Practice Wisely, Not Hardly
Pro athletes do more than simply hit balls for hours on end. They emphasize exercises that develop instinct. For instance, accuracy can be increased by seeing the ball's trajectory as a soft curve rather than a straight line. This technique helped Canadian golfer Brooke Henderson increase her success percentage on crucial putts.
Control the Speed
Perfect alignment is less important than distance. Even if the line is right, a ball that rolls 10% too quickly or too slowly will miss.To help players feel speed organically, The Albatross Golf engineers create putters with balanced weights and machined faces.
Maintain a Routine
Stress can be decreased by following a regular pre-putt ritual, such as positioning the ball marker or taking two practice swings.
Jack Nicklaus, winner of 18 majors, said: “I never used the same feel twice.” Which means that, stop chasing “perfect” techniques but focus on your tools and poses and habits.
