Is there anything worse than the dreaded three putt just after you've hit the green in regulation strokes? No there's not. Improving your putting can be a lot more simple that trying to fix a nasty slice and we've brought you five tips from the pros to help you do just that:

Jeff Ritter from the Karsten Golf Academy in Tempe in Arizona brings us the 8-second countdown method. It makes sense. When you're standing over the ball - and ready to putt with rbz driver - don't take more than 8-seconds. You'll end up losing your momentum and random thoughts will creep in that have nothing to do with the putt. For example, what did you forget to buy at the supermarket? Before you know you've gone two foot wide. Just putt the thing!

How about this putting tip? Close your eyes! Yep, don't look at the ball. The general idea is that by concentrating on the hole you stop worrying about the golf ball. Sounds like it's strictly for the professionals.

Pam Wright, who's played for 15 years on the LPGA highlights the benefits of learning to stabilize the lower body during a putt with cheap*rbz driver. The great players each had their techniques for doing this but you may have never noticed. Didn't you notice Jack Nicklaus clenching his knees together any time he putted?

The next essential putting tip seems a tad on the obvious side but you'd be surprised how many people don't bother. Squat down and have a look at the shape of the green. You've seen the pros padding around the green and lifting up the putter to their nose. They weren't doing that to smell it. The idea was to work out if the golf ball would swing with rbz Combo Set to the left, or the right or just go straight.

Here's another blindingly obvious tip. Watch the putts that your golf buddies are making. If they happen to be on the same line as you well that's great - you can "read" their putt with taylormade rbz combo set all that much better. But again, you'd be amazed how many golfers forget this most basic strategy.

And of course don't forget, none of the above tips will be of any use if you don't have a decent golf ball putter in your bag
