Stop Peeking Early: The Coin Putting Drill

Take it to practice.

Place a thin coin or flat ball marker on the practice green, then set your ball on top. Make your normal stroke. As the ball moves away, briefly recognize the design underneath—with our Birdie Up marker, look for the bird. Then let your head turn naturally to watch the roll.

Keep the recognition brief. Don’t force a long head hold. This is an attention cue, not a diagnosis of your stroke or a promise that every putt will drop.
