To improve your putting consistency you first need to setup to a putt the same way time after time, and one of the most important aspects of this is setting up with your eyes directly over the ball. Here’s a great way that you can do this that will help you tremendously. First, to do this putting consistency exercise you need a small mirror.
Now place this mirror on the ground and place a ball on the mirror so you can setup to it as if you were putting. Setup to this ball as normal and notice if your eyes are directly on the line that your ball is going to travel on to get to the target. Your eyes do not have to be directly over the ball but they should be on the same line as what your ball will travel along to your target. So if you were to drop a ball from the bridge of your nose it would fall on your target line.
My bet is that after setting up to the putt with the mirror under the ball, your eyes were not directly over the ball (or on the same line as the ball). So now you’ve found this out, what you must do is setup to the putt again so that your eyes are directly on the same target line as you want the putt to travel. Do this over and over again so you make this position automatic. Doing this will greatly improve your putting stroke and you’ll soon notice that your putting consistency will greatly improve.
But here’s the important point. It will only improve your putting consistency once you’ve made this setup position natural. And that’s only going to happen by you consistently practicing it to make it a habit. And remember a habit takes at least 21 days to form. So do this putting consistency exercise for at least this long and probably much longer to make it beneficial and to make a positive impact on your putting consistency.
