Speed Control on the Greens — The 17-Inch Overshoot Rule
Introduction
Distance control accounts for over 80% of putting performance. A putt hit on the perfect line with incorrect speed will miss every time, while a putt hit with ideal speed will stay close even if the line is slightly off.
1. The Science of Past-the-Hole Speed
Golf researchers have proven that the optimal putting speed is one that would carry the ball 17 inches past the cup if it missed.
-
Prevents Bouncing: Putts hit too softly are easily knocked off course by imperfections near the cup.
-
Maximizes Hole Width: Putts dying into the hole require extreme line precision, whereas firm putts expand the effective capture area of the cup.
2. The 3-Foot eGolfRing Safety Drill
You can quickly train your muscle memory for optimal lag distance using a simple visual boundary.
-
Position Behind the Cup: Lay a 3-foot eGolfRing flat on the turf directly behind the hole.
-
Stroke Lag Putts: Practice putts from 20, 30, and 40 feet away.
-
Score Your Results: Any putt that either drops into the cup or settles inside the rear eGolfRing counts as a successful rep.
