AimPoint – Either Side of a Curved Zero

Both balls lie on either zide of a curved zero line which runs through the low anchor in the middle. Both putt are aimed/ hit straight at the hole showing how the first put misses to the left and how the second put misses to the right.

Remember that both putts are missed on either side of the zero line when aimed straight at the hole.


Incidentally, if you're on a straight planar surface, and you're directly below the hole, shoved putts will miss farther right and pulled putts farther left. So the same putt, depending on whether it's started slightly left or right, will break in both directions as well - and that's a non-curved zero line.

AimPoint – Tilted Crown

Here is one of the hardest putt on this green. At first this putt appears to occur at the 5 o'clock position on a planar surface. In actuality this is a tilted crown. The first putt appears to break up hill. The second putt shows how the putt changes direction once it crosses over the ridge.

AimPoint – Speed, Distance, Weight

Five minutes long, but worth it. 🙂

6-12 inches is the ideal speed, but if you're going to watch The Masters at Augusta National, some putts will still have a really wide hole but roll out a few feet past the cup.

Putter Loft Versus Launch

AimPoint 60 Foot Make

AimPoint Crown Read

Crowns can be tricky. Four inflection points - two highs and two lows means four straight putts.

AimPoint Make

If the ball leaves the blue line, it misses. Predictable putting makes for boring TV, but great greens reading.

Zero Line Putts

They're aimed straight at the hole, but that doesn't mean the putt itself is straight. It may double-break, triple-break, or more.

Capture Speed vs. Hole Width

Hit a putt too hard and the size of the hole shrinks considerably.

Hit it too soft and it may wobble too much at the end to stay on line.

Las Vegas Golf Evolution School

A small school put together by an evolvr student, today we hosted three students (and one very interested Director of Golf) at a fine course in Las Vegas, NV.

The weather was great and the students all did an incredible, incredible job.

Some photos of the work we did with a few students are in the extended entry.

P.S. Happy birthday Mac OS X.

AimPoint Instructor Training – Day Three

Happy Birthday to me. And to my father-in-law. I'm 33. He's… 71 I think?

Day three is a half day, and basically a free-for-all. We were introduced to a few drills (people can't aim very well and their speed control isn't great), and we were given the opportunity to ask a bunch of questions. A bunch of questions.

I'm fully confident that I'll be able to not only apply what I know now to playing golf, but can also teach it effectively. I'm committed to spending a lot of time practicing this as well.

Next steps (after I get home): put together a game plan. A lesson plan. Then practice, teach, get certified to teach Fundamentals classes ("Introductory," "Fundamentals", "Advanced"), and open the eyes of hundreds or thousands of golfers over the next few months and years.

P.S. I feel like I can't miss from 10 feet and in.
