Bucket of Balls Drill
Description: The Bucket of Balls Drill trains you to become deadly accurate on short putts by forcing you to make these short putts over and over.
Summary:
- Take a large range basket of balls (approximately 70 balls). Simply set up to a 3 footer and start rolling putts.
- If you miss a putt you must pull all the made putts back and start over. Do this until you can get through an entire bucket without missing one. You may be out there for a while, so be patient. It will pay off in consistency and confidence!
- If you are able to get past the 3 footer try it at 4 feet, 5 feet and 6 feet.
- Practice the Bucket of Balls Drill to learn to hammer home those 3 footers with confidence. This drill will also be a good test of your devotion, drive and patience!
