Consistency is the key to good putting.
A straight backstroke, a firm Strike, and a consistent follow through are all needed, but the inventor of C-Groove putters, Harold Swash, contends that even those qualities aren't good enough if you have the wrong equipment. C-Groove doesn't have a long history of success to rely on, but it could work for you. Swash invented the beginnings of the C-Groove design in 1995. Swish, a European putting coach who has worked with stars like Paul Azinger, Darren Clarke, Nancy Lopez, Bernhard Langer, Nick Faldo, Ian Woosman, and Sandy Lyle, realized while working with these pros that even when they made a good stroke, sometimes even the best putters would start the ball skidding toward the hole before it actually started to roll. That millisecond would result in immediate and pure roll of the ball, which he contended would keep it on line toward the hole.
