Putting is one of those skills that troubled many players of the EA Sports PGA Tour. Like for every other shot, there are many in-game parameters to help you make the perfect putt, but even after a couple of tries, you feel like you’re still at square one. Read on to learn some practical tips and tricks that can up your putt game and make you a Major Champion.

Putting in EA Explained

The first advice we can give you for better putting in EA Sports PGA Tour is to practice, practice, practice. I know from my own personal experience that I just got a feeling for most of the games I’ve played and I didn’t really strategize much or think about which buttons I was pressing. It’s the same when you are playing any sport really, the more you kick/throw the ball the better you get and your muscle memory takes over. The same is true for the careful putt shots in EA Sports PGA Tour.

When it comes to practical advice in the game, the most important thing is that you pay attention to the putt read line as that will be your guide to a perfect putt. It will show you the break and the curvature your golf ball will take when you strike it.

Next, you need to pay attention to setting an ideal weight for your putt. You will want to pay attention to whether you need to hit the golf ball uphill or downhill. Hitting it with either one of those circumstances will require that you adjust your aim distance accordingly.

For example, if you have a 15-foot putt that is 5 inches downhill, you would have to move your aim to 10 feet to get the perfect shot. On the other hand, if it was a 15-foot putt with 5 inches uphill, you would need to set your aim to 20 feet. Hitting the golf ball too strong or too weak is one of the most common mistakes players make when putting.
