Stabilizing your put

A condition for the execution of a stable put is that the lower part of the body is in the same static balance before, during as well as after the stroke, at every put. A good static balance is the basis for achieving a stable put, with focus on direction as well as on length.

Through training with the golf insole G40 the following can be achieved:

a greater static balance followed by less balance and angle correction through movements of the upper body and the arms just before the impact, witch gives a more exact hit of the ball
a better control over direction and the distance of the ball

The setup

From a technical viewpoint the highest degree of stability with regards to the direction of the put is achieved if there is correlation in the stance between the putting line and the body's centre of gravity superimposed downwards onto the surface of the foot.

The figure shows the body's centre of gravity superimposed downwards onto the surface of the foot and marked with red circles. Under normal circumstances one ought to strive for a stance which will achieve a line through the centres of gravity parallel to the putting line. Using this stance one will hit the ball in the predetermined direction with the highest possible degree of certainty.

In order to achieve the necessary stability in the length of the put, it is of the utmost importance to hit the ball with the centre (symmetrically) of the putter's clubface. If the stroke happens to be either to one or the other side of the putter's symmetrical line it will be influencing the predetermined length of the put. This means that any uncertainty in the static balance will be influencing the stability of the put.

The above mentioned conditions are the features making the golf insole G40 something quite special. Through training the golf insole G40's sensory influence on the sole of the foot can maintain parallel relationship between the putting line and the body's centre of gravity and at the same time maintain the static balance through the put and thereby ensure the ball will be hit by the centre of the putter.

Even though the above is obvious, very few are aware where on the surface of the foot their body's centre of gravity is positioned and how stable their balance is during the put. Only through electronic measurements is it possible to investigate these conditions, hence the reason for this lack of knowledge.

When we put, we try of course to concentrate as hard as possible. In other words, we search for a static balance whereby our stance is such that it is possible for us to stand still. But for how long can we maintain this static balance? And how steady are we?
