Wonder how many attempts were made before they all sunk the putt?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I raise a question to start a conversation:
\n\tThere are six putters, each one has looked at their target(hole) and then look at their ball. Not a single one looks at the target as they shoot. They concentrate on their ball and putter stroke. We know where our target is for the dice, it does not move: so should we focus on our grip, back swing, release, follow through before we look at the dice in the air and target again? Would this help make practice perfect? Set44<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When one is putting, the ball is the target, not the hole. One is attempting to strike the ball with the putter at a certain spot on the ball with the appropriate pendulum swing to make the ball travel the proper line and distance to the hole.<\/p>\n

\tIn all "eye to hand" sporting activities, one looks at the target one is attempting to hit.<\/p>\n

\tBasketball – look at the basket
\n\tPitching – look at the catcher’s glove
\n\tThrowing a baseball – look at the place one is trying to throw the ball
\n\tThrowing a football – look at the place one is trying to throw the ball
\n\tPocket Billiards\/3 Cushion Billiards – look at the place on the object ball one is trying to strike with the cue ball. Trust the arm swing to strike the ball with the appropriate speed to impart the proper spin on the cue ball for the desired effect
\n\tBowling – Pick a target on the lanes or pins one wishes to hit. Trust the arm swing to impart the proper lift and turn on the ball for the desired effect on the lanes.
\n\tArchery – look at the target
\n\tTarget Shooting – Self explanatory<\/p>\n

\tThe same holds true for when we attempt to execute a controlled throw. Pick out the target where one wants to land the dice and trust everything else, grip, square lineup and pendulum swing.<\/p>\n

\tNow as far as your point about practice, it can be helpful to focus on one aspect of the throw during a practice session to improve\/check out that one aspect of the throw. So if you want to look at the grip, back swing, release, follow through only throughout the entire throw in practice that is fine. But at the table one should only focus on the target and trust the rest to have been perfected in practice.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Skinny,
\n\t J, thank you, a long dialogue to point out the correct way to throw the dice. Just like you reviewed with us in Chicago. During practice I sometimes watch my pendulum swing when I notice the dice are not square to the table in flight. Usually, watching tips me off immediately what I am doing wrong. Thanks again.
