If you stare at the ball too long at address, it’s easy to get brain-locked and hit a bad putt. To avoid this, don’t even look at the ball.
Try looking at a spot just in front of the ball on your target line and rolling the ball over that spot. Put a tee in the ground in front of the ball when you practice. This gets you thinking about the target line instead of the stroke–the opposite of what most golfers do.
Another trick to free your mind is to picture the ball going in on the high side of the hole on a breaking putt. Most golfers miss low. For this left-to-right putt, You want the ball to enter the cup well left of center.
