Clubface angle position and clubhead path at impact are less important for putting than for full-swing shots because of slower clubhead speed.

Clubface angle position and clubhead path at impact are less important for putting than for full-swing shots because of slower clubhead speed.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not enough information
• D. Both True and False

Answer: (B)

Putting still hinges on precise control of direction and distance, and that starts with the clubface angle at impact and the clubhead’s path. Even at slow speeds, these factors determine where the ball begins on the intended line and how it will roll over the green, including the amount of break it experiences. A small misalignment can send the ball off line and then turn with the slope, so the face position and path remain critical for accurate, predictable putts. Therefore, the statement is false.
