    Mike please run a segement on putting, I must be the worse putter in golf history, from tee to green I am a pretty decent player, but when I get on the green that when my trouble starts, I usually shoot in the lower to high 80's and this is after (3) putting at least 8 to 9 greens in a round and some time more than that, I have tried all kind of drills but don't seem to be improving any. My biggest problem is I always come up short, if I have a 10 or 12 foot putt I usually come up about 3 to 4 feet short then I miss the next putt, some time I am so intent on getting the ball to the hole I over hit it and run by the cup another 4 to 5 feet and on the way back guess what? yeah I miss the putt I come up short.

    Hi Chester,

    We're close to having all of the segments finished up with Steve Ball, PGA Master Professional, and we should be posting the tips and drills he filmed in the coming days. In the meantime, here is a link to a great tip from TPI Co-Founder Dave Phillips that covers three putting strategies that should help you with your practice: http://www.titleist.com/my-game/videos.aspx#112

    Can you give us a hint at the topics that were filmed?

    Hello team Titleist I am waiting on the release of the new AP1 712 irons while I am waiting I would like some information prior to ordering, Usually I change out the grips on my clubs from the original grip to the jumbo size grip with three layers of masking tape and one layer of double stick, I know this may change the swing weight of the club slightly but how will it affect the over all performance of the new 712 clubs, will appreciate any recommendations.

    Lately, I have been missing my targets when approaching the green. One hole I hang it out to the left ( I am a lefty), the next hole I over-compensate and pull it a little.  It results in me having to pitch on the green and making it very difficult on myself to make par.


    Obviously it would be easier to see my swing. But is there anything I can specifically focus on get some more accuracy ?

    I have the same problem at times & it's usually alignment that gets me.  That may be your problem as well.

    You are probably right.. One of those areas that I tend not to focus on as I am getting through a round. Amazing how the little things get you in golf. Thanks.

    wet bunker shots. always seem to slide under them and not manage to get much forward movement and then the ball lands with too much spin and doesn't roll out. and keeping it low and straight with a driver into the wind.
