Left Hand PushThe left hand push drill is similar to the left hand only drill in that it teaches you acceleration and a firm left wrist through impact. Although it may feel awkward at first, stroking balls with no backstroke, stick with it, as this exercise is vital for you to become a great short putter.How to perform this drill: From three feet take your comfortable putting stance with your putter aimed directly at the hole. Grip the putter with only your left hand the same way you did in drill one. Without taking a backstroke, simply push the ball into the back of the cup using your left hand only. Your right hand will not be on the club. Do not think of mechanics. Your only thought should be to knock it in.
