You grip the belly putter just as you might imagine. Anchor the top,
“butt end” of your club into your belly. The anchoring of the putter
into your belly will create a stroke motion that is simpler & more
reliable. This result is a kind of a pendulem effect….bong!

Vijay Singh, the golfer who unseated Tiger Woods in 2004,
popularized the belly putter.

Ironically, when Singh took the top ranking from Tiger Woods, he’d
recently switched back to a traditional putter after a long period with
using the belly putter!

Regardless, if you are having trouble, try to search around the net for
a belly putter.

Here’s an example search:

But, here is an example of a typical pre-shot routine that you can
model for your personal use:

Step 1: Take ONE Practice Swing

Many players, especially beginners, tend to take too many practice
swings. Unfortunately, taking too many practice swings can make a
person more nervous & less confident about the shot.

All you need is one decent practice swing before hitting the ball.

Keep it simple & try to keep your mind off of the swing as much as
possible. Your goal is to simply limber up your arms & shoulders,
and not over-stress the play.

Step 2: Visualize The Outcome

Once you have loosened up with a practice swing, take a few steps
back & visualize the clubhead hitting the ball in perfect harmony.

Picture the ball flying through the air with a perfect arc & then
landing exactly where you want it to. Pretend that you are making a
real shot, then, step up to the ball for the real thing.

Step 3: Dial Your In Aim

Now it’s time to get your aim set up so that you can hit the ball
directly towards the green. Align yourself, the clubhead, & the turf.

This will help you get the distance you need to reach the green.

Once you are ready, select a second target that is a few feet in front
of you: one that is in the direct line of fire. Focusing on second target
like this makes it easier to hit the ball towards its destination.

Step 4: Fire!

At this point, you have taken one practice swing, visualized the
entire shot in your mind, & have dialed in your aim. It’s now time to
swing. Before you make your shot, however, be sure to stay limber
by wiggling the clubhead a bit.

Once you’re ready, it is time to get your backswing in motion & go
for the gold!

Similar to a shutting door, the clubface quickly moves from an open
position to a closed one as it approaches impact. The releasing
movement is caused by your hands & forearms turning. If you don’t
release, then your clubface may remain open & you may end up
slicing. Yuck.

During the moment of impact, your clubface should point towards
your target line & you should swing right through.

A. Your Grip

To ensure that you release appropriately, pay attention to your grip.
It should be have firm, yet light pressure throughout the entire
swing. Nothing affects a shot more than having too much tension in
the arms & hands.

Next, try to swing with a decent balanced tempo. Too many
beginners swing so hard & fast that they leave the clubface open
when impact occurs.

And finally, for right-handed golfers, try to keep the backside of
your left hand pointed down towards the target line.

B. Making Impact Count

During impact, you should have the feeling that your forearm (right
side right-handed golfers) is turning over your left forearm during
impact.

You can practice this by swinging in slow motion. Simply swing the
club up & through. Pay special attention to the movement that your
forearms make: try to turn the right forearm over the left one.

During impact, totally freeze your body & then check out the
position of your clubface. Since it’s in slow motion, this shouldn’t be
hard to accomplish. It will either be square, open, or closed. Try to
ensure that the clubface is square to your target line….

A. Grass
Since when is trimmed short grass on the green a problem? Although
the smooth surface of the green is well kept and maintained, it is still
grass after all, and it will grow. A small patch of higher-than-normal
grass blades can get in the way of a perfect putt.

That’s what you have to watch out for. A poor groundskeeper can
ruin your day!

B. Leftover Footprints

It is common etiquette not to step in the same line of your fellow
player’s shots on the green, so as to not create footprints. But not
everyone has such good etiquette unfortunately. What if the group
ahead of you has trampled all over the green? Footprints may not be
easy to see, but they can interfere with your ball’s line of travel.

C. Untouched Grass Around The Hole

Greens gets a lot of foot traffic from people walking all over them.
People make their putt shots, walk around them to grab their balls,
and all sorts of other stuff . But the 6 to 10 inches that surround the
hole itself never really gets stepped on. This can also create an
uneven level of grass and cause your ball to move in a different
direction.

Although it’s surprising, your right foot could be a major cause of
interference with a shot’s trajectory.

When you take a normal swing, the toe of your right foot (for right
handed golfers) should either be square to the line of flight or turned
out to the right a bit. This helps the clubhead come away from the
ball, make a decent turn, & then start coming down the right way.

However, if you need to hit the ball slightly longer or higher than
normal, try pointing your right foot’s toe farther toward the right.

This will help you make a bigger & more powerful turn away from
the ball, while still keeping your balance & rhythm smooth.

This will also help keep your hips behind the ball during impact.

And, it will help bring the clubhead into the ball. This clean
sweeping motion will cause the ball to travel for a greater distance
with more speed too. WOW!

(And vice versa, if you must hit a shot low, try turning your right
foot slightly to the left. This restricts the backswing & sets up more
of a punching action on the downswing. Thus, a low shot results….)
