#692 Master Distance in 3 Steps
Distance control in putting is not about hitting the ball “harder” or “softer.” It is about energy management—delivering exactly the right amount of kinetic energy so the ball reaches the hole at the intended Target Speed.
At impact, the moving putter transfers energy to the ball, creating its initial velocity. From there, energy is continuously dissipated by rolling friction and influenced by gravity. Uphill putts require more initial energy; downhill putts require less because gravity helps maintain momentum.
The key is understanding force versus energy. Longer putts should not feel more…
