The gate drill is one that has stood the test of time, without fail this is the one drill you will see tour players doing on a regular basis.

Focus On The Target When Putting

Additionally, players spend more than 75% of the time reading the putt as far as how much it breaks and 25% or less on how hard to hit the putt.
