How do you AimPoint a putt?
Put three fingers up with your pointer finger just outside the hole on the right (assuming your putt breaks to the left). In this case, your ring finger will be the aim point. Then just line up your ball at the aim point and roll it at that spot.
Is AimPoint putting legal?
Recently the USGA and R&A released a joint statement on the issue and clearly state that collecting information about the putt, including feeling slope for the AimPoint read, is legal as long as the player stays a reasonable distance away from their intended line.
What is AimPoint green reading?
TLDR. Aimpoint Express is a tour-proven green reading methodology (hint: Adam Scott) that allows a golfer to read greens using their feet to determine the slope percentage of a given putt.
Does plumb bobbing work?
No, it only works to help you determine subtle breaks in the green that are sideways. It will not help you determine the slope of the putt or the grain, either. Only look for a plumb line if you aren’t sure how a putt will break.
Does plumb bobbing actually work?
How do you read golf greens for speed and break?
5 Ways to Read The Green For Speed and Break

How do you read if a putt is uphill or downhill?
The best view to read the break of a putt is from below the hole. So for an uphill putt, you should view the putt from behind the ball looking up to the hole. Conversely, for a downhill putt, view the putt from behind the hole looking up to the ball. If you have the time, look at the putt from above the hole.

How do you aim a putt?
Simply hold up the number of fingers corresponding to the degrees of slope your putt has, with your pointer finger centered on the cup and your other fingers on the high side of the putt. The edge of your outside finger is your aim point. For those of you asking, yes, using Aimpoint is completely legal.
What is the express method for calculating putts?
The express method is a 10-second process for getting a read. Simply gauge the slope of your putt at your ball, and from roughly halfway between your ball and the hole on longer putts. After determining the slope from both points, simply take the larger of the two slopes and use the finger method described above to pinpoint your proper line.
How do you measure slope on a putt?
The Three Steps Step 1: Stand facing the hole and estimate the amount of slope in your putt by using your feet to feel the slope on a scale – most AimPoint users use a scale between 0 to 6. Step 2: Use your arm and fingers to determine where to aim your putt.
How do you hit a putt with your fingers?
Line up the edge of your finger with the hole. The outside of your finger gives you the precise point where you need to aim in order to hole the putt when hit with the correct speed to go nine inches past the hole. You can place a tee peg in the ground at your AimPoint to help you in practice.
