Putting · Technique

Lock in under pressure: breathe, then push into the ground

Get behind the ball, breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth to relieve muscle tension, tighten the core, and feel as if you are pushing down into a scale to add weight. This locks in the body, after which the arms can soften.
