The Basics of Green-Reading, AimPoint Express Style

Adam Scott reading a putt Here's a link to a golf.Com article that explains the fundamentals of AimPoint Express, the simplified inexperienced-reading machine being utilized by Adam Scott, Stacy Lewis, and different gamers.

Here's a trendy tip I located within the article that should assist you're making better putts even with out using the AimPoint Express machine (I added the emphasis within the second paragraph):

Here's a check of your inexperienced-reading savvy: Imagine a clock face on a typical returned-to-the front-sloping inexperienced, with the hole at the middle, and the 12 o'clock function representing a immediately downhill putt. Which putt will ruin the most: A sidehiller from the three o'clock position? A downhill, sidehill putt from o'clock? Or an uphill sidehill putt from 4 o'clock? (Assume that each putt is hit with fantastic velocity, so that it might roll 1.Five feet past the hollow if it neglected.) If you stated that the sidehill putt (3 o'clock) would wreck the maximum, you are within the majority?But you're wrong. The downhill putt from o'clock will damage the maximum and the uphill putt from four o'clock the least.
Why? A putt breaks because it is falling due to gravity. Since the putt from two o'clock is slightly downhill, it's hit more softly than the three o'clock putt, so it takes more time to reach the hole. Since gravity has a longer time to act, the ball breaks more.
Even if you don't try the AimPoint Express technique, that tip alone should save you some strokes.
