It also shows readers how to read greens, where to focus their eyes during the putt, and advises what types of putters are right for each person's game.

I wish this had been my first putting book

The fundamental in this book will help anyone to make more putts within 5-6 feet.

An excellent resource

This is a great book on putting. The author understands that most of us are nervous and uncomfortable when we putt. My game is already improving.

Excellent, concise & understandable

From one who has played golf regularly for over 40 years, Dave Stockton's book is one of the best values I have EVER encountered. Reasons: 1) to get the same info from a live lesson would take several lessons at over USD$100 per hour each, 2) Dave brings out points you take for granted and applies weighted arguments for or against said practices, 3) The sections are sufficiently detailed, yet, you feel they are not excessively long, 4) It has already helped my game!

Putt Better Immediately

As someone who was struggling with putting, Dave's book made the game fun again. Try his tips when you're practicing and you should see immediate results. The tip that is helping me the most is keeping the putterhead low in the follow-through. Putting is all about touch and feel so this is a much better approach than the mechanical and scientific approach being preached by Pelz.

This putting book is a winner

One of the game's greatest putters helps the rest of us putt better. Although he provides some great hints on technique, better yet was his help on attitude. Approach menatally to putting is everything, once one has a basic technique down. I also really benefited from his method of reading greens. This book has helped me putt the ball in hole more often. Thanks Dave.
