How do you improve Back Stroke Time?

—————————————————————– Drill: Consistent Timing – Back Stroke —————————————————————– Problem Back Stroke Time is inconsistent, making it difficult to judge the proper speed and distance. Solution Make putts at various distances (e.g., 3 feet, 10 feet, and 30 feet). Review your Back Stroke Time and analyze your results. The Back Stroke Time should remain the same, even though the distances change. Once you find your signature number, which is generally close to 0.60 seconds, make putts at various distances, attempting to match your ideal Back Stroke Time within 0.05 seconds. Perform this drill for 10-15 minutes during every training session. Focus Keys Focus on the feel of your consistent Back Stroke Time. What does too fast feel like? What does too slow feel like? Back Stroke Time should be approximately 0.60 seconds, regardless of the length of the putt. Aim to be within 0.05 seconds of your ideal Back Stroke Time. Goal The goal of this drill is to train your body to create a consistent and repetitive timing pattern in order to consistently and efficiently transfer energy from the putter head to the ball.
