ZipTip:
Stroke: Putt the Sleeve Box
Imagining the ball
not as a round sphere but as the butt-end of a sleeve box gives you a
superior sense of squaring the putterface and a sense of the starting
direction of the putt.
***
At
address, a tip to help orient the putterface and to return the putterface
square for impact is to imagine that the ball lies at the bottom of an
otherwise empty sleeve box, so the putterface is placed behind the flat
square of the bottom of the box, and the long dimension of the box is
pointed at the target. You task is to putt the ball squarely out of the
opening of the imaginary box.This tip is especially helpful for short
putts.
