Jab

A short, quick putting stroke that lacks smooth acceleration and proper rhythm, often resulting in poor distance control and inconsistent results. Jabbing putts typically occurs under pressure or when golfers become too mechanical in their stroke. This putting fault prevents proper feel and touch development that's crucial for consistent putting performance. Understanding proper putting stroke mechanics helps eliminate jabbing tendencies and develop smooth, consistent putting rhythm. Professional putting instruction focuses on eliminating jab tendencies through proper technique and rhythm development.
