The specific joint where golfers often putt is called the wrist, particularly the leading wrist that serves as a critical factor in controlling the clubface during the putting stroke. Proper wrist alignment and movement affect the accuracy and distance of the putt. Golfers aim to keep the wrists steady while executing their putt to ensure consistent contact with the ball and to achieve the desired roll on the green. Mastery of this technique is vital for success on the putting green.
