  I have a question how is it when putting you set the putt to go right of center and the ball goes left and the same way left. Or you have a putt dead center no slope you hit the ball dead center ball goes left why? Just wondering is all,  thank you

  I have been playing that putter for over a year. Viewed from behind the avatar, it tends to push the ball to the left on longer putts, when "dinged".  On shorter putts, it pretty much puts the ball where you aim it.

  A very common mistake for many players is to ignore the foot break-the first 2-3 feet the putt travels.  The start of a putt is critical because if it starts off on the wrong line you'll miss. Missing the ding on the down side of a break will always miss, too.

  Start looking at your putts in thirds and pay most attention to the first and last thirds.
