"Most amateurs realize the fundamentals of a good setup are critical for a full swing. But those fundamentals are important for putting, too. To make more putts, you must start with the proper alignment. Use the label on the ball for guidance. To do this, mark the ball and reposition it so the label is aligned with your intended path. Next, once you are set up over the ball, match the line on your putter to the label on the ball. Trust your alignment and make a good, confident stroke."
