11/21/2023 0 Comments Putting plumb bob method![]() My biggest gripe now is all the "pros" lining up and reading putts like they were in a PGA tourney, taking forever to hit the dang thing. Consider trying it on subtle breaking putts from inside of 10 feet. It is not used as much anymore however, it can prove very useful for certain circumstances. I see many pros doing it also.Īnd it's fast. What is 'Plumb Bobbing' How does it work Check this video out Watch on This method of reading putts was particularly popular in the Nicklaus era and prior. We all can't read putts like Tiger and this is a good way to do it unless you are at a very high level. I can't count all the golfers I've played with ask me to show them this after I've sunk a long bender. Then just hold it up so the bottom of the shaft is splitting the ball and read the direction to hit the putt at the top of the shaft. (Use a level at home before you go to the course). ![]() Find the way you have to have the head pointing so the shaft is vertical. Making sure when you hold the putter so it is square (the head weight will affect this). I'm not saying it's the only thing to do (look near and behind the cup also) but it works if you do it right and figure out how to make it work with your putter in regard to. Dominance in eyes tends to agree with your hands.but not always, so it's worth checking. If your finger appeared to move in relation to the distant object, your left eye is dominant. If your finger didn't appear to move, your right eye is dominant. With both eyes open, cover a distant object with your index finger. ![]() Another tool in the arsenal, so to speak.Īs a reminder too, that to properly plumb bob you need to know which is your dominant eye.įor those that may not know, easiest way to find out is to extend your hand out in front of you. I umb bobbing can help with very subtle breaks. In practice, it is more useful for detecting more subtle slopes and breaks. Try it on a steeply sloping green to see how it works. The more dramatic the slope/break, the further the hole is from the vertical. Your browser does not support the video tag.As already noted above, if you are standing behind the ball, holding the putter at the end directly over the ball, the hole will be to the right for a left-right break and to the left for a right-left break. Walk the length of the putt feel it with your feet imagine it with your hands and your eyes then go ahead and commit to make a really solid putt understanding the speed and the line are both vitally important to putt well on two tiered greens. Understand that you’ve got to break that putt into three sections flat, slope, flat. So when you are on these two tiered greens understand you’re in a difficult situation you no longer try to make the putt you are just trying to take two putts. I can have imagined the flow of the water over the surface and how the water would react because I know my ball will react in the same fashion. Now you can see I gesticulate quite a lot with my hands when I am talking but I also do that when I am reading greens. So if it’s downhill I just need to get the putt to the top of the slope then it will race down the hill and then it work its way to the hole. Well obviously the tier being uphill or downhill will greatly affect the line but also the speed. And actually spend a bit of time really walking the length of the putt, feeling with your feet, looking with your eyes how would the ball react now how will it react now how will it react at the end. And if I can read those three sections this will be relatively flat, then there’s the big slope, then it’s relatively flat again. ![]() The second section is how will the slope affect the putt and then then the third section is what will it do when it’s on the next flat section towards the hole. The first part would be what will a putter do on my relative flat section before it gets to the slope. The best way to actually read the green is actually to break it into three parts. The chance of actually making that putting one go is pretty slim depending on the severity of the slope. Now if we imagine that you’ve got yourself onto the wrong tier how do you then read that green, how do you putt well from the wrong tier? Firstly you have to understand you’re in a difficult position and the ideal – the ideal scenario here would be taking two putts, first putt close second putt in. Big tier at the back, big sloppy Mackenzie slope, and then another tier at the bottom. You’ll see on Augusta National quite a few greens with big slopes and then big tiers, and probably the ninth green most famous example. So that severe slope is often called the Mackenzie green after Allister Mackenzie golf course designer who originally actually laid out Augusta National. How can you improve your putting on two tiered golf greens? So initially we need to look at what is a two tiered golf greens basically two separate levels possibly separated by quite a big severe slope.
