EA Staff (Retired)Hey PGA Fans,
We wanted to start a thread where anyone shares tips and tricks they have for putting on the greens.
If you have any tips, tricks, or recommendations for putting OR you want to ask for recommendations feel free to use this thread and post below.
Thanks, and hope to see you on the greens!!!
My number one tip is always aim to only go past a couple of feet at the most. You should never more than 2 putt any hole. Learn how both up and downhill lies play, use the green grid to count back or forward to ensure the ball reaches.
also try and position your approach so you’re not left with silly breaks.
another good tip is put the camera angle on the lowest setting as it’s easier to see the lines and breaks, and also easier to hit the sweet spot on the bar as the gauge is loads bigger.
being straight with the analogue stick is hugely important on putting too, any deviation will lead to missing, it’s more important than any other shot that you get a smooth down and up on your swing.
I use left stick on my controller to swing the club. I use an Xbox elite controller with a tall stick and place my left thumb against the stick and use my right hand to move the stick, my left thumb acts as a guide so the stick can’t move left/right only up and down so my putts go straight. My putting has improved immensely.
@EA_IlliumYouTube offers up some great tutorials. I follow 3, but here’s one specifically on reading and making adjustments for the breaks.
