Why You Shouldn’t Aim At the Apex of the Break

January 5, 2011

Stroke mechanics are only half of the battle to putting better. It doesn’t do any good to make a perfect stroke unless you read it correctly. Studies show that most amateurs under read putts which means they miss them on the low side. This is something that I have been preaching to my students forever using string or aim line aids to prove it. Mark Sweeney, the founder of aimpoint technology that you see on televised tour events, has developed a system to help you read putts more consistently. My friend John Graham is a certified aimpoint instructor (check out his blog @ johngrahamgolf.com)  or check the website (@ aimpointgolf.com) for more info. This is a wonderful video that demonstrates what I am talking about. I look forward to learning more about this system and maybe getting certified to instruct it. In the meantime. PLAY MORE BREAK. You will putt better in the long run.
