There’s often a great debate of what is more important to putting, Line or Speed? I can easily argue both sides but in this segment, we’re going to tackle the speed control element! After all, you can only lip out a putt when it’s traveling too fast!
As with all our games and drills, Leap Frog will make your practice time more engaging and more productive. Begin by placing a tee in the ground at your starting point and then take 2 paces to put your next tee in the ground. At approximately 5 feet, this will be your first marker. Next take 3 more steps and place another tee in the ground to mark the end of your target area.
The goal is to roll your 1st putt just past the 1st tee, but as close as possible to the tee. Your second putt must now Leap Frog the 1st ball! Continue until you run out of room by passing the last tee in the ground. Your score for the game is the number of balls you were able to fit in between the two tees without leaving one short or going past the last tee.
You will have the best success when using your eyes to stare at the spot you want your ball to stop and by using a very soft grip. Pop strokes will have a lot of difficulty controlling speed with this game and on the golf course.
Let’s add a tweak to Leap Frog now… Please do this after playing the version above.
Leap Frog Verbal is something I learned from Jordan Speith’s coach, Cameron McCormick. You will find that afte rrunning the normal version of Leap Frog, that this will drastically increase the number of balls you can fit in between the 2 tees, therefore helping you increase your touch and feel.
The goal with Leap Frog Verbal is to call your shot instantly after impact, Short, Good or Long. Good is defined by approximately 12′ after the target(I use my shoe length). We’re still scoring the game by the number of balls you can fit in between the two tees, you just now have to call your shot verbally out loud.
Have fun and happy putting!
