Reading Breaks

Would you put me in a straight jacket if I told you every putt is a straight putt?

Seriously though every putt is a straight putt even the one that breaks five feet.

Theoretically your target should always be the hole or the end destination.

Really your target should be the spot where the putt deviates from the straight line.

One of the advantages of looking at your putts this way is that it moves the target closer to you, which in turn makes it easier for you to line up too.

Watch today’s golf prescription and I’ll demonstrate how to make every putt a straight putt.

I got if but goodness boring! You are so precise clear and quick witted that it makes on wonder where the hell you been? LOL thank you your teaching skill are spot on and fun to watch. Stay goofy like a boss…

    Better method of learning is using the training aid advertised in this original post. The Putter Wheel will do the same thing as you see in addition to helping you swing correctly along the target line. Assisting in setting up grid for future reference I would suggest using a method called vector putting to give you a reference the target point.

    I now understand the aim but how hard do you hit the ball, to the target or to the hole?

    I do this same thing. I pick the point as described, and once I get lined up, I don’t watch the ball. I just hit to that point using what is naturally felt. Similar to throwing a pitch or a ball at a specific target. Jordan Spieth used to putt while looking at the target. My ability to read the greens perfectly is not there, but I make a lot more putts or burn the edge of the hole. Also, if it is uphill, I may actually pick a target past the hole to get the speed better.
