Make your practice stroke match the putt's length

Make your practice stroke directly replicate the length of the putt you're about to hit, rather than rehearsing a short stroke before a long putt. Do it while looking down at your target so your brain programs the speed, almost narrating whether each rehearsal feels too hard, too soft, or about right. A practice-stroke method for dialing in distance.
