Many golfers suffer from too much movement in their lower body and head, especially on longer putts. That makes control over contact and speed much more difficult and is a major contributor to poor lag putting.
If you look at pictures of Arnold Palmer, one of the great lag putters, at setup you’ll notice that he was almost pigeon-toed.
His setup restricted movement in his lower body. That ensured his head stayed still and his stroke was made around a consistent central pivot.

We also notice a lot of our golfers using relatively long follow-throughs on their longer putts.
Many times that will result in contact that is too low on the face. The sweet spot is missed and the putt comes up short.
A shorter follow-up reduces the chance of a poor strike.
Have a target to lower your score. Look for a new record low. Then, plan how to get there. One of the quickest ways is to look at ways to reduce the number of putts per round. How many do you currently take? If it’s too many, then let’s start there.
