ALL my putts are now hit heads up. Previously I was only putting heads up outside 15-20 feet. For those not familiar with heads up putting, you hit the putt while looking at the hole, not the ball. I finally got comfortable with heads up with the shorter distances and I am very pleased with how well I am hitting start lines AND controlling distance. My distance control on the lag putts also continues to improve. I still occasionally would catch myself thinking about length of stroke, or how hard to hit it on the lag putts, but now my approach is I simply pick my spot I am aiming at, and say to myself "just play catch to the spot". If you have not tried heads up, give it shot. Shout out to Sasho MacKenzie for his research in this area and for exposing me to this technique.
