Here are some keys areas to check:
1. Ball Position – Allow the club face to sit in the middle of the stance which presents the ball just ahead of centre. This will produce neutral loft of the putter and address and impact.

3. Stay Balanced – Whatever the width of stance, make sure your balance is centered from right to left and toe to heel. This will help to produce a consistent arc and strike.
