Golf Ball Position In Your Setup

Knowing where to play the golf ball in your stance is a big key to preparing to putt correctly. It's a good idea to make slight adjustments in your golf ball position if the greens are slower or faster. Play the ball a bit more forward on slower greens. This will allow the ball to coast easier above the grass on the green and roll better. For faster greens it's okay to play the ball a touch farther back on your stance but not farther back than the middle of the stance.

The Putting Genius' Guide To Putting Like A Pro will show you exactly how to setup correctly on the putting greens and give you tips on how to always have correct ball position in your putting stance.

It is important to have your eyes are directly over the golf ball when you are putting. Make sure you are set up this way so you'll be able to see the line of your putt well. Keeping your eyes over the golf ball gives you the best chance of seeing your line and putting the ball on it. Not being able to see the line correctly will decrease your chances of rolling the golf ball down your intended line.
