In this new episode on the basics of side-saddle putting, Chase Bomar, who is part of the Bomar Putting Company, describes the importance of ball position and the golfer's stance relative to the ball when attempting a side-saddle stroke.

With a ball position too far forward or backward, alignment will be thrown off.

It's also important to stand about a putter-length away from the ball so your arms can swing freely during the stroke.

Watch the video above for the tip, and look for more videos on the side-saddle putting stroke coming soon to SI Golf.
