The definition of a good putting tempo is to be able to maintain a
consistent speed and distance throughout the entire
golf putting stroke,
i.e. the backstroke is the same length and takes the same time to
complete as the follow through stroke does, just like the pendulum of a
grandfather clock.
If
you can maintain a consistent golf putting tempo throughout your
entire golf putting stroke, then all you need to do to
control the distance
of your putts is too increase or decrease the length of the backstroke
and follow through!
Everyone’s natural golf putting tempo will be different, just
like the full
golf swing, so you will need to spend some time practicing on the
putting
green or at home on your
indoor golf putting mat to find out what tempo suits you best.
Once you have found it, continue to practice it with some
effective
golf putting drills so that the feeling
will eventually become second nature and hopefully you will find that
your golf putting performance and confidence will start to
steadily
improve.
