What should Rotation Change be?

What should Rotation Change be?

Goal
Ideal Rotation Change will be 0* open or closed

Pro Average
0-0.5* open or closed

Amateur Average
0.0-1.0* open or closed

Metric Tip
If the face origin of the putter is aligned at the target at address, Rotation Change should be 0.0*.

1. Confirm that the face origin of the putter is perfectly aligned at the target at address. (It is best to find a straight putt and/or use a laser, an elastic string, or a chalkline.)
2. Back Rotation and Forward Rotation should be equal numbers. (i.e., If Back Rotation is 4*, then Forward Rotation should also be 4*.)
3. Address the putter as close to the ball as possible
