Reading Your Target Line when Putting

Video Transcript

Hello! On behalf of expertvillage.com, my name is Bryan Pemberton from the Reserve at Spanos Park. Today we are going to talk about putting and particularly we are going to actually focus on alignment or actually the line. What we mean by the line, the line in putting is what a player has determined to do is intended target line and when you are putting, you are going to have a lot of breaks and ups and downs. But again, you are going to make a decision on which that is going to be and then you are going to determine that by the line on this putter. A lot of times you will have putters now that will have lines on them here and that is simply to help the player align his putter to his intended target line. Down here we've got a player here and he is going to determine his putting line or his intended target line. We've got a hole here that breaks a lot, you know from right to left. Again this is also based on the players experience and judgment of how far. So if we have the middle of the cup here, so I want a player to actually imagine a ball coming into the hole and it is going to come back and you are going to draw a line and it is an imaginary line that you can see. Let's say this is actually the players line right here. When we draw this line back to the target, you are going to see two things; whether he read the intended line or not and whether the player actually executed his intended line. So we will have this player line up at this line and we are just going to bring this putter back. Again the line on this putter will help him line up to his putter.. Again what you are going to find when you actually do this tactic, what happens is it is a lot easier for a player to line up a putter to a line that is going right here rather than trying to line up to something way out here. Again right off the back this player is going to know whether his execution was on his intended line or whether he read the putt wrong. Good! Execution was right. His putt was on his intended line and right up in here it kind of left a track here and actually missed a right. So really this screen was read wrong i here but this player's execution was really good.
