Shot putts to make sure you accelarte as you hit the ball, set the putter about an 1/2 inch behind the ball.  The trick is to think you have cheated yourself on the back swing so you have to make sure you accelarte the stroke.  That is OK came form the pro at Doral.

Mike this is a toughie buddy. Turning a fade into a draw takes a lot of hard work and effort. It certainly will not happen overnight. \n\nSome of what the guy above said is correct. But it will only work depending upon how you hit your fade now. David Duval and Paul Azinger have the strongest grips on the planet but they both hit a fade....so making your grip strong isn't going to do anything if you're hitting a "hold" fade. (Delaying your release through impact and "holding" onto the shot)\n\nI actually have no idea what to tell you except to go see a PGA pro and tell him/her what you're after, that you'd like to try to start drawing the ball, I'm sure they'd be able to point you in the right direction. \n\nOn a side note as far as distance is concerned.....460CC drivers will give you another 10 yards....try to strike the ball one groove above the geometric center of the clubface....that's easy distance right there! \n\nGood luck!

Try to use stiff shaft, I used to use Regular shaft but after I have changed the shaft to stiff, I can hit it much \nfurther than before and also straighter, so go can change your shaft immediately.\nHAPPY GOLFING!

This is an easy one....I'll share with you a great tip I observed by watching professional caddies over the years. \n\nBefore a round a pro caddy washes his players grips with soap and water in a bucket....then after they are washed and dried he'll rub them for a 5 or 6 seconds with a piece of sand paper. \n\nI first observed this about 10 years ago and I've been doing it ever since! It works like a charm! I've been using the same putter grip for at least 6 or 7 years....still feels like new! \n\nUse this tip and you won't need anything else to keep your grips feeling tacky.

You're half way to answering that question yourself.\nKeep trying different putter head weights, length of shaft, mallet vs. blade, straight shaft vs bent, etc...\n\nDon't always buy the most expensive or newest product. Sometimes a quick lesson with your club pro and your old putter are what you are seeking to become a better putter.

When I start hitting the ball heavy I typically move it back about a 1/2 in my stance. I also focus on a point towards the back of the ball and not on the back itself. This should give you a little better contact. \n\nWhen the ball is above your feet you should take one club more and grip down a little bit. I also try to hit cut shots when the ball is above my feet. This helps to prevent pulling the shot. \n\nHope that helps a little.

The best thing would be to see a professional golfer and he can advise you on how to improve your game. Yahoo's golf tips suggests selecting a target area and focussing on that. \n\n# Stand behind your ball on the tee and pick out a 10- to 15-yard landing area, then picture an imaginary line from that spot back to your ball.\n# As you address the ball, focus on an intermediate target a few feet in front of you. Align your ball square to that point, and don't worry about hazards, distant mountains or anything else.\n# Right before you pull the trigger, take one last look at your landing area. Take a cue from the Tour players, who by this point are only thinking about getting their ball to that spot.\n# Make a confident swing, knowing that you've done what it takes to line up the shot. Practice this on the range, and you'll be ready to conquer any intimidating visual tricks.\n\nThere are also plenty of training aids available see Yahoo directory.

When it comes to putters if you like it and think you can make putts it's good.  Heavy putters for slow greens light for fast.  \n\nA couple things to remember \nDo not use your wrist \nShort back swing good follow through - make sure you accelerate the putter\n\nLength of putt\nLay a ruler on the ground.  Putt the ball 3 feet.  Make a note how far you take the putter back.  1.5 inches in most cases.  Do the same for a 5 foot, 8 foot and 15 foot putt.  Once you learn how far to take the club back for each distance your way ahead of the game.  \n\nHere is some more info \nhttp://www.pga.com/improve/tips/shortgame/improve_nesbitt120505.cfm

I had the same problem last summer and this year i am one of the best putters in my club. These are the three things i did to improve my game. the first drill is to go out right before your round and just putt around. DO NOT putt to a hole, but rather aim for something maybe a leaf or a nut that may have fallen on the green and try to get down the speed of the greens, this may sound weird but once you get on the 1st green you will already be a step ahead of your opponents. The second drill is the short putt drill. I have missed over 300 3 and under footers until one of my freinds taught me this drill. When you under 3 feet instead of looking at youe ball or the hole look at a spot on the green that you want the ball to roll past and focus ont that you should make about 90% of them from now on. Finally the old Phil Mickelson drill set up 10 balls around a green and putt them until they all go in. I just thought of a another one i do for speed. Its bozo buckets a 6 inch, 1 foot,3 foot, 5 foot, and 15 foot putt all lined up in a straight like and then put them in and if you miss set them all up again, until you make them all in a row .

Never having seen your swing I would recommend only one thing....go to a ten finger grip....this will give you a more secure hold on the club. You may also want to try some jumbo grips to make it easier to hold onto the handle. \n\nYour local pro might be able to help you as well, check the website of the PGA of America to find a pro near you:\n\nhttp://www.pga.com

If your ball starts on target (i.e., where you are aiming) and then curves, the curve is likely due to the club-head not traveling in a straight line when it is striking the ball.  The simplest drill that I know to fix this is to get a long foam tube (like you use to bash your sister with at the beach) and place it about 2" outside of your ball and pointed at your target.  Then try to hit the golf ball without hitting the tube (tip: it will be really, really hard to do!)\n\nIf, however, your ball starts to the right of your target and then curves farther right, then you are hitting the ball with an open face.  This type of error is somewhat more easy to fix . . . usually by using a "stronger" grip (i.e., rolling the hands a little bit to the right on the grip).\n\nDisclaimer: I'm no golf teacher . . . just a guy who's been playing for about 38 years . . . $100 spent on 3 or 4 lessons would probably pay a much bigger benefit than any tip you will get here.\n\nGood luck!
