DON’T STROKE IT HARDER. ROLL IT ON TIME.
A repeatable rhythm your body can trust under pressure.
The Big Idea
If your putting breaks under pressure, it’s not your stroke — it’s your timing.
Rushed strokes. Late deceleration. Steering. Misjudged speed. You stand over a six-footer you’ve made a thousand times — and something goes sideways.
That’s not a talent problem. It’s a timing problem.
What Tempo Does
Tempo is the governor of the stroke. When it’s stable, everything downstream behaves better.
3 · 2 · 1. Arrive on time.
The count gives your stroke a time rail. You are not trying to manufacture perfect mechanics. You are giving your body a rhythm it can repeat.
The Takeaway
Tempo first. Mechanics second. Give the stroke a rhythm, then let the ball get in the way.
