Match backswing and through-swing for even tempo

For consistent putting pace the instructor keeps an even tempo, working on the same length back as through in a roughly two-to-one, tick-tock rhythm on both short and long putts, so he never decelerates. To train it, put a couple of objects down with the putter in the middle and make sure the stroke travels the same length on both sides. Reported as a feel.
