Putting on slopes, ball above or below your feet, can create issues for some if you don't know how to modify your set up to the golf ball. In this short video we give a few things to keep in mind when putting on slopes.
Ball Above Your Feet
The 3 things to remember to do are:
1) Make sure the sole of the putter is flush to the slope
2) When the sole is flush to the ground it will lower the handle which means you should back up from the ball. Also, remember the ball above your feet means it is closer to you so backing up will also give you more room.
3) Gravity - Due to the forces of gravity, it will want to pull your putter down the slope. To combat this hold the grip more firmly in your trail hand (right hand for right handers, left hand for left handers).
Ball BELOW Your Feet
1) Make sure the putter sole is flush to the slop
2) Doing #1 will lift the handle of the putter. You are also further from the ball so to accommodate both you need to stand closer to the ball.
3) Gravity - The forces of gravity will want to pull the putter down the slope, this time away from you, so to offset that hold the club more firmly in your lead hand (left hand for right handers, right hand for left handers)

What is The Golf Paradigm (Pair-a-dime)?
The Golf Paradigm is a theory that encompasses a Whole-In-One approach to improvement. It begins with the overall paradigm; i.e. the game of golf. Followed by two parts that are always to remain in balance; i.e. the golf yin/yang - ‘improving’ and ‘enjoyment’. Helping to maintain that balance are the 5 elements of the game; the swing, club fitting, health/fitness, mental, and integration. Knowing which area to focus on and how the other areas supplement that helps to form the golfers ‘recipe’ for improvement. As the golfer improves their recipe, or what is focused on, changes and this is what allows them to reach levels of play they never thought possible. It’s not magical, but it’s close.
