Putting Distance Control-Leap Frog

Steve Bann Golf- Putting. For improved distance control with putting, I love this drill, I call it Leap Frog  I believe that our mind-set and focus must change with regard to the line and speed depending on the distance of the putt. From inside 6 feet, around  80% of our focus should be on line and only 20% on speed. We can be 10% out with speed from 6 feet and it won't have much effect on the outcome of the putt. From 6 to 15 feet, around 50% speed and 50% line for our focus, and outside of 15 feet, around 80% of our focus should be on speed. We can be 10% out on line outside of 15 feet and it won't have to much of a negative effect on the result. Most 3 putts originate from poor speed on the first putt and no putt will ever be made if it doesn't have enough speed to roll past the hole if the hole doesn't get in the way. This Leap Frog Drill is designed for us to focus entirely on the speed of the putt, with the goal of rolling every putt just beyond the target.
