Importance of quick roll of the putter face

When you putt the ball needs to bounce a bit to overcome the blades of grass then lands and skids before starting to roll. That's why putters are lofted. The normal stock loft is 3 to 4 degrees. During the bounce and the skidding phase, it leads to alot of inconsistencies in speed and with the line.

To prevent the or control the bounce, a few things you need to watch for or do.
1. Deloft the club by a forward press of the arms, as taught by Dave Stockton.
2. Avoid hinging or using to much wrists when you putt, as this results in a ascending blow. Longer Bounce of the club face.
3. Don't hit too much on the upswing of the stroke. And not too much of an ascending blow. Keep the putterhead low past impact.

And when you get the ball rolling quickly you get truer putts. Good Luck!
