One of the best ways to control your distance when putting is by using your eyes.
Some people teach you to swing with your eyes closed to create muscle-memory. I believe the best way to control the distance when putting is with your eyes. Your eyes are the ones that tell your brain how to take steps up and down, how to walk down hill, up hill, etc. etc. So why don’t use them to control the putting stroke.
This is how:
Step one - Looking at the hole, put the putter next to the ball and swing your arms imitating a putting stroke 'til you feel the right distance. Then put your eyes over the ball and make the stroke.
Step two - Place 3 balls at different distances from the hole. Take 3 additional balls and looking at the first ball follow step one. Then, the second ball and so on.
If you practice this on the putting green consistently, your putting distance control will improve.
