Honestly, I thought this technique was just a fad. But after trying it out, I must say, the increase in confidence is real! It’s fun to mix up the routine.
I’ve noticed that being in a side saddle position really helps you focus on the stroke without distractions, which might be why some feel more confident.
You all are making this sound pretty appealing! But do you think it feels awkward at first? I worry about adapting to a new stance.
It can feel a bit strange initially, but with practice, it becomes second nature—a bit like learning to ride a bike!
I can’t help but chuckle when I see people trying to figure it out. It’s like watching a baby deer learn to walk! But once they get the hang of it, success!
Thanks for the laughs, Jaclyn! It’s definitely a sight to see. But really, the sooner you adapt, the sooner you start enjoying those perfect putts!
I’ve been reflecting on the benefits outside of just the technique. It promotes a mindset shift towards more relaxed putting, which can be transformative for a lot of players.

I’ve recently started side saddle putting, and I find that a common mistake is not aligning the body with the target line. Focusing on your stance can really improve accuracy.
Absolutely! I’ve noticed that as well. It helps to visualize the shot before you take it.

One big error is overthinking the stroke. Keeping it simple helps. A consistent follow-through makes all the difference!

I agree, it’s so easy to get caught up in the mechanics! Do you have any drills that help with this?
I recommend practicing with a mirror! It helps with posture and ensures your alignment is spot on.
That’s a great suggestion! I never thought about using a mirror for putts. It seems like a fun way to refine your technique!
One mistake I’ve made is rushing the shot. Slowing down and ensuring a smooth motion can help with precision.
Right? It’s easier said than done! Has anyone else tried deep breathing before putting?

I’ve definitely found that breathing helps! Plus, simply being aware of my body positioning before hitting the ball makes for better results.
Exactly! Posture is crucial. Does anyone practice with specific drills to enhance their positioning?
Just remember: practice makes progress! Don’t be too hard on yourself. Each session builds confidence, even if it doesn’t go perfectly.
So true! At the end of the day, putting is as much about mindset as it is about technique. Golf is meant to be fun!
