What it fixes
Inconsistent start line on short putts.
Setup
Place two tees or sticks slightly wider than your putter head, a few inches in front of the ball, forming a gate.
Steps
- Set up a 3-4 foot putt.
- Roll the ball through the gate without touching either side.
- Repeat for 5-6 balls, then move the gate closer for a harder version.
Common mistakes
Setting the gate too wide to be a real test.
Progression
Narrow the gate width as consistency improves.
