How do you improve Forward Stroke Time?

Drill: Consistent Timing – Forward Stroke
—————————————————————–
Problem
Forward 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 Forward Stroke Time and analyze your results. The Forward Stroke Time should remain the same, even though the distances change.
Once you find your signature number, which is generally close to 0.30 seconds, make putts at various distances, attempting to match your ideal Forward 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 Forward Stroke Time.
What does too fast feel like?
What does too slow feel like?
Forward Stroke Time should be approximately 0.30 seconds, regardless of the length of the putt.
Aim to be within 0.05 seconds of your ideal Forward 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.
