PUTTING
EYE LINE
The set-up is imperative for
an eff ective golf shot. This
is applicable to all types of
shots that the game has,
including putting.
Touching upon the role of the eye line
in putting, the eyes should ideally be
right above the ball or just marginally
inside it. This allows the putter to
swing on plane through the stroke. A
deviation in the set-up, which could
be either the eyes falling in front of
the ball or well inside the ball would
result in the putter moving in an out-
in or in-out path. This could easily
result in the ball not starting on line,
inconsistent impacts and loss of feel
for distance control.

If the eye line is set-up well it would
allow the putter to swing on plane
keeping the club head in balance.
