Bracket putter feel with too-firm, too-short strokes

To dial in feel when testing a putter, the speaker takes practice strokes while looking at the edge of the green rather than at a specific target. He suggests about three strokes to bracket the distance: the first deliberately too firm, the next too short, then moving into the right one.

Try it

  1. take your practice strokes, looking at the edge of the green
  2. Maybe have three strokes. The first one's going to be too firm with that feel, then too short, and then move into it

Why this context matters

Used while comparing putters, but the feel routine transfers to practice.
