Unlike driving off the tee or hitting into greens when they have to consider the wind, club selection and much more, on the greens, like Carnoustie’s 18th (above), all the pros have to worry about is line and speed. The latter relies on getting the ball rolling quickly and smoothly, which is helped by the faces on modern putters. The Wilson Staff Infinite South Side for example, has a Double Milled Face pattern that promotes a smooth roll, which aids distance control and helps the ball to stay on line. All of this adds up to giving you more chance to hole putts and lower your scores. |
