How Hard to Hit a Putt – Golf Towel No. 4
No. 4 of a seven-towel series: one golf question per towel. How hard should you hit a putt? A putt that stops short never drops. One that comes in too fast can lip out. Short-game research found putts drop most often at a speed that would roll a miss about 17 inches past. The towel shows three putts: too soft, best speed and too firm.
The data
- Dave Pelz’s short-game research found putts drop most often at a speed that would roll a miss about 17 inches past the hole, whatever the length of the putt.
