Four-Tee Putting Drill: Test the Putter and the Ball

Short · 0:49 watch time

Use a putterhead gate and a ball gate to explore delivery and starting line.

Take it to practice.

Gate 1 gives feedback on putter delivery through impact. Gate 2 shows whether the ball starts through your intended line. Make a smooth, natural stroke—don’t steer the putter or force it straight.

This drill provides delivery and start-line feedback, but it is not a complete putting diagnosis and does not test pace or green reading. The forward-gate distance is an adjustable practice setup, not a universal requirement.

Adapt to your ability, the space and the conditions. Demonstrations are illustrative. Watch the full lesson and its YouTube description for context and references.
