If you want to improve your handicap, you can't avoid putting. Around 40% of all shots on a round are made on the green—so it's high time you paid more attention to your putter! In this article, I'll show you effective putting drills to help you improve your putting —including a special workout with the Golf Tool Box Putting Towel . Let's get started!

1. The Towel Drill – less movement, more control

This drill will help you avoid unnecessary movements and execute your putt with stability. All you need is a towel—or better yet, the golftoolbox Putting Towel , which was specially designed for this purpose.

Here's how:

• Place the towel under your armpits.

• Now make a few putts and make sure the cloth stays in place throughout your swing.

• The focus is on a smooth shoulder movement – ​​no unnecessary hip action!

Goal: You develop a controlled, repeatable movement sequence – the basis for consistent putting.

2. The pendulum drill – practicing a steady pace

A good putt depends on timing . With the pendulum drill, you practice a consistent tempo – without any technical fiddling.

And this is how it works:

• Imagine your putter is a pendulum.

• The backswing and follow-through should be the same length – smooth, calm and flowing.

• Think “one-two” in your head: “one” on the backswing, “two” at impact.

Tip: Use the putting towel as a visual aid for swing lengths!
