LKD is back with another episode featuring renowned putting coach Phil Kenyon. Today, LKD and Phil are busting one of putting's biggest myths: that the putter head needs to be rapidly accelerating through the ball. Plus, a drill on how to nail stroke tempo.

Phil Kenyon is the top putting coach in the world. And one thing he notices is amateur players often under-read their putts. He came up with this drill, which he explained to LKD, to help ensure putters both properly estimate the amount of break and, critically, aim accordingly.

It's a fascinating look into how tour pros make on-course decisions and LKD breaks it all down so non-tour pros can understand.
