Wowwww. I watched this video on Thursday night. Practiced it some on Friday. Played a tournament Saturday and Sunday. I must say, this gave me a ton of confidence. I have never really had a “system” for reading greens, and this works very well. You very quickly get a good idea of how this works. If you just TRUST IT, you really won’t believe how many more putts you make, or ones you very narrowly miss. There were numerous putts that I normally thought might break 3-4 inches, but using the formula were more like 10-11 inches, even more and more on some longer ones. I made several very long putts(four over 20 feet, several 12-15 feet, well as numerous 5-6 footers. My distance control is often abysmal, so walking off the paces of every single putt was especially helpful. I was often really misjudging the length of longer putts, by a lot. Now, being very confident that I really have a very good idea of the amount of break, the difference was amazing. The best thing is, you learn with every single putt you hit. Thank you for this video!!!!!
Wow!! Way to go!
True gems in here. I'll never judge the break looking DOWN the slope anymore.
I love this! I have used the Tour Read app for a year now, and it's got me dialled to the greens at my home course. It allowed me to shoot my best 9 hole score of +4 with 12 putts. The app is excellent at testing and confirming or correcting your green reading and helps to build your confidence and understanding of how the putt will break. I had a hard time adjusting my reads to other courses and especially higher green speeds, but seeing this and hearing Mr. Bauer explain the simple rule of (paces x2) -1 on a 10 stimp green, then doubling it for every added percent of slope, it makes it so much more simple and quick. Some other things I like about the app are the instructional videos. Mr. Bauer gives great simplified video about his teachings of all the foundations of putting like how to set-up, posture, the stroke, alignment, tempo, routine, and even putting it all together. you can also find practice plans in the app, drills and games, and even some "Before Round Warm Ups". If you get the app and watch all of the content their and then come back to this video along with practice and putting these concepts into action I would put money on it that you be putting lights out in no time.
Wow! Heck of a story. Great to hear it’s helping you.
When to Ralph's clinic at my club. This method works better than aimpoint for me. I am making 5 to 15 footers at a higher rate since the clinic.
❤ - Hands down, the greatest putt reading video I've ever seen...before this, I used Paul Runyan tips, "the bobble / Plum Bobbing", 2/3 reads, the clock and my own method I created with using nickel width (The hole is 5 nickels wide)
I'm adding this to my routine.
I've seen an increase in made to almost made putts by really trying to visualize the putt going in the hole when I'm over the ball. Really focusing on seeing it and seeing that spot where you think it's going to go in at. I've never heard of that equation before but I like it that's for sure. I've never really paced off putts either, but this is the 2nd or 3rd tour instructor I've heard say that. I think it's time to start pacing putts.
Give this approach a shot!! I know having the math and step based equation has drastically improved my process.
@@golfsciencelab I will definitely give this a go for sure.
1:31 Job done, LOL. your LAB putter should put the ball on line every time, right? :-) (mine does)
Clock face visualization really works well.
Agree. Adding that into pre-shot routine helps lock in the speed needed.
Man, I've been playing competitive golf, both Amateur and Professional, for 46 years now.
I've seen many green/speed reading techniques come in and out of favor.
For me, these all have WAY TOO MUCH information.
I don't use a line on my ball. I want to see white, and "feel" the ball in.
I'm kind of a ying/yang, zen type of a player anyway.
As opposed to a technical dude swinging a club.
I'm a big believer in K.I.S.S..
PACEPUTT can help to improve stroke green reading and pace ! All you need to hole more putts .
Ok, I follow the approach. Problem I have is that slope is not constant %. So let’s take a 10 step putt where the last 4 steps are on a 3% slope and the first 7 steps are 0%. Is the break based on a 3 step break (5 inches per degree) or on a 10 step break (19 inches per degree). I tend to be over-reading with this method and I am not getting the full distance worth of break. My guess is that you should use the 3 step in this situation. Even with the method there is a ton of judgement. GRINT software does have green maps with approximate %slope and direction.
Oops math error. Meant to say last 3 steps, not last 4
How would to calculate the break for puts which are less than 3 feet on a 3% slope?
What length is your putter?
How did you calculate the slope? Watched it a couple times but didn't catch it
I think the guys using this on tour are feeling it with their feet, like you do with aimpoint, but for some reason they don't talk about it. Not even on the app. It will be to ensure the only way to understand it fully is to seek out a lesson.
It’s kinda guess & check:
.5% -barely perceivable
1% - perceivable
2% - more perceivable
3% - obvious
4% - unplayable (they don’t put pins here)
Go through the process and you can evaluate how well you guessed the % of break with each putt to help dial you in moving forward.
It's a skill to practice and learn.
Good video, but I feel I have to say the following: must have been a proper struggle not to bing up Aimpoint Express, which seems to handle the conversion about "read break %" to "how far off the hole should I aim".
1% = one finger, 2% two fingers, and so on, plus you can extend or retract your arm (to compensate for Stimp).
People who like the method in this video should realistically just learn Aimpoint Express, no?
So the (paces x 2) - 1 formula for 1% slope only works on a green STIMP of 10, correct? Are there formula adjustments for faster or slower?
He said in the video: 10% adjustment for every stimp interval of one. So on a stimp of 12, add 20% to the amount of break. (It’s probably a little more than that, since adding 10% to get to 11 stimp, then another 10% from 11 to 12, is more like 22%).
Some interesting content I look forward to trying. The person doing the recording needs some training.
Nothing wrong with this approach, but I much prefer aimpoint.
This seems like it has a lot more math and guess-timations.
@@MJ1331ELagreed. There is also the part of figuring out the slope visually, I really like the approach of using one’s feet much more reliable. Maybe it’s just preference, in the end the principles are very similar: all putts are straight putts, putting speed to past the hole by 1 foot, visualizing the point of entry in the cup to better match line and speed.
I had a look at this then Aimpoint and I'm liking the latter. The app doesn't cover how to assess the slope apart from putting down the phone/spirit level and taking a read. You can't really do that during a round of golf. But then I guess you want to keep some secrets back even if charging £99 a year for a spirit level app on the iPhone.
All we want is MOAR SPEEEEED!!!!!
😂😂😂. Next week back with another episode about speed.
I love the app but it always gave me too much break. Not sure why.
You might have the speed set too high. I find I sometimes over estimate how fast greens really are.
Nice Somerby hat
so this is aim pt on an app...
No. I would say it’s pretty different.
Isn’t there a difference in the pace between say a 6’6” guy and 5’5” guy? Wouldn’t that throw off this calculation? The formula I had was 0.5” break for each 1 ft of putt per %. So if your pace is 2 ft long, then a 5 pace putt would break about 5” for each % slope. By this method, the same putt would break 9”. Wildly different calculation!
As usual, people give no attention to the biggest factor that separates the controlled lab setting vs the course and meaningful putts… the mind/body/spirit connection. If one of those has a perception point that’s off, you miss. It’s not stroke or speed, because the controlled environment is the same.
Unless we start looking at the world differently we will get the same results we’ve gotten for years and years.
The advantage goes to those who are willing to consider what no one else is.
Incidentally, the MBS perception is the easiest thing to fix if you know how.
Alan
So you bought a $1000 LAB putter and still don’t have confidence inyiur putting. lol
Putter didn’t help me read greens better 😁
Man said a whole lot of nothing lol
I’m sorry but this is useless for an amateur. This guy like most golf teachers talks too much and is too technical for someone who plays max twice a week. Why doesn’t he simplify for audience, eg what the hell is a stemp?!
If you try the method he suggests it’s super useful for a quick way to figure out where to aim. Learn the steps process (in the cheat sheet linked in description) and let me know if it’s helps.
@@golfsciencelab Thanks for encouraging me to watch this. I'm still missing some important piece. Do I have to have app to do 2 or 3 percent? He also didn't explain what the clockface was for, although I know of it from other videos.
Why do you need help when you have that huge putter
😂. It doesn't help me read greens unfortunately. Wish it did.
