To practice my "rotating wrist method" is easy when there is no ball on the ground --- this is because you are only concentrating on the actual process of making sure that you activate the rotation of the wrists in order to keep the putter square with the target line, and not having to concentrate on striking the ball.

However when it comes to actually making the wrist rotation as well as striking the ball, the conscious mind finds it difficult to carry out the correct movement, as well as striking the ball.

So when you are on the golf course, take a few practice swings immediately before you intend to strike the ball, making sure that you make the correct wrist movements each time you make the practice putt.

You will find that the mind has a capacity to remember the correct wrist rotation by using a short term memory retention facility.

This enables you to rotate the wrists correctly whilst still in automatic mode -- which leaves the mind free to to concentrate on watching the ball.

This memory retention method also works when you are trying to modify other parts of the golf swing -- try it out for yourself, it really does work.
