At 5:50-6:15 I say I closed my right eye and then my left eye...I MISSPOKE here. (The words just didn't come out right...lots of information going through my old brain while recording this technical info on camera.) I should have said, "with my right eye open and left eye closed the target and my thumb are still aligned and with my right eye closed and left eye open, the target appears to move." So, to determine your dominant eye, 1. Hold thumb out in front of you with both eyes open and a target in the distance, 2. Close one eye. 3. Then close the other eye. 4. Whichever eye is open and the thumb and target are still aligned is your dominant eye. 5. With your non dominate the target appears to move.

my pro also suggested I look at the Hole and flag,, If the flag tilts then the hole is cut to the tilt of the green, and to check that, look at the rim of the hole from 6-8 feel until u see the white pain from the back of the hole, match it with the front cut and u will see the hole it's self lean one way of the other , giving you the brake near the hole it's self. I still use this on new holes and different courses.

I just found your videos and thank you. This summer I was invited to join a league and started playing golf again after over 20 years not playing. I'm in my mid 70's. I am the worst player on our league and wanted to improve. I generally 3-4 putt most holes and maybe 1 putt once every other round. After practicing your info for the past few days at the putting range I played 9 holes last night. I two putted 6 holes and One putted 3 holes. Did not 3 putt any hole. When I missed I was within a foot past the hole on less. My longest 1 putt was 18 feet. My longest 2 put was 35 feet. I beat my best round all year by 10 strokes with a score of 46 for 9 holes. Still need to get better at my driver. My plan is to win the trophy next year in our league. I bought an inexpensive flight simulator (that actually works quite well) and a 15 foot long putting matt for my home last week so I can practice all winter. Your videos are helping me a lot. I was taught to plum bob and have used since I was a kid, but I was never a good putter. Now I know why. Your video actually allowed me to calibrate and do it correctly and your other video taught me how to get the ball near the hole on the first putt every time. It was incredible.

I think you have the explanation backwards on which is your dominate eye. This is what I found when I googled it: Keep both eyes open and focused on a distant object, then extend your arm out and point with your index finger or thumb at the object. Alternately close one eye at a time. The eye that keeps your finger directly in front of the object while the other eye is closed is your dominant eye.

THANK YOU for stressing the importance of calibration. With most putters, even the slightest twist changes the result. I marked my grip, and have to really make sure its lined up before I even start with the reading process. (still is pretty quick) I'm a very good putter, as far as hitting the line I choose, but am not great at always finding the severity of break. (basically reading the green) On putts where you're not sure IF or which way it'll break, this method is awesome to give u the confidence to pick a line, and commit to it. The other weakness of it is - are u really lined up from eye, to shaft, to ball, to hole? Not an exact science, but worth the extra 10 seconds to choose a decent line.

I like the calibrate your putter to a known straight up/down wall. But when you hold your putter with the calibrated side, hold it, align the putter - ball - hole with both eyes open. Then knowing which way the break moves close the opposite eye and realign the putter to the ball; the distance between your putter and the hole is the amount of break. Try it on a hole with a good known break for example a left to right breaking hillside. Both eyes open, align putter -ball - hole, then close your left eye the putter will move to the left of the ball. Keeping your left eye close move the putter back over the ball and the distance between your putter and the hole is the amount of break. Your dominant eye doesn’t really play a roll in this.

Excellent! However years ago my old coach offered the following: When you plumb bob, you are only reading the the spot you are standing on. The grade of the slope may change between the spot you are standing and the hole. As you said, you need to have multiple tools (methods) at your disposal to read a green properly.
@misteroneputt

Agree on multiple methods but plumb bobbing does show the slope all the way to the hole with the exception is double breakers and distance which goes to the point you make.

Another way to calibrate is to use a spirit level to find flat ground. That allows you to work out how the putter hangs on flat ground. If you were hanging say a ruler it would hang vertically and straight of course. On the green, if the putter hangs at the same angle as it did on flat ground, you know the piece of ground your standing on is flat, it's a reference- which is what @billomeara5660 was saying his coach told him. Your job is to work out whether the line to the hole passes over flat ground, if not, what's the deviation. By using that approach and what Mister One Putt explains, you should get it right. It's just physics. Also Golf Digest published a supplement on putting 20-30 years ago which included an explanation of PB, which is where I got my stuff from. The GD book is probably still floating around.

Great video, many thanks. Still trying to get my head round this method. I take it that this is only to be used for almost flat putts, where you are pretty much aiming at the hole but perhaps just 1 - 2 inches either side of the cup. Also, I don’t understand ‘what you see’. By that I mean you mentioned the hole give the appearance of sloping in a particular direction, but how do I know whether to aim 1 cup outside or 2 etc? Thanks again.
@misteroneputt
@misteroneputt 10 ай бұрын
It takes a little practice to learn how far to aim based on how much slope you see. I think this method works on putts with small hard to read breaks. What I see is one side of the hole peeks out or appears higher or lower than the other. Its one of those things that is hard to explain but if you try it a bit on the practice green the aha moment comes and then you’ve got it
@bobspaniel4279
@bobspaniel4279 8 ай бұрын
I endorse your method. But, I take it a step further to determine an aim point when the putt is uphill/downhill. I try to imagine the “fall line”; then, when plumb-bobbing, I find an aim point which intersects the Bob line and the fall line. I’ve had pretty good luck with this.

The shaft is perpendicular to the ground hanging vertically in the hole is horizontal one side or the other of the holes will appear to be higher or lower than the other relative to the shaft. Then of course, I know that the ball will break to the low side. How much it will break depends on the amount of tilt and there’s the thing that takes a little time to get a feel for seeing how much.

I am missing something here. I was tracking all the way up to the point where you actually did the plumb bobbing. You just said "One side of the hole is a little bit higher". What are you seeing that leads you to that conclusion? What are you using as a reference to see that one side is higher than the other? Are you using the cut of the hole on either side? If I stand 15' frm the hole, I am pretty sure the shaft will cover the entire hole, so I am confused. And how did that translate to a distance? You said one side is a little bit higher than the other, then you dropped a coin 1" from the hole. How did you determine it should be 1" and not something else?

With regards to the coin being one inch it is always a guess and feel and experience. There’s a newer video on the channel called “what I see when plumb bobbing that answers your other questions. Please note the videos I’ve done on plumb bobbing are simply trying to teach the method and acknowledging that it works for a lot of people. I use a different green reading method called Tour Read, which most professional players and Caddies are now using as well.

Plum bobbing is not for everyone which is why I teach lots of different methods of reading greens. That said, most people see everything in a line with one side of the whole, a little lower or higher than the other side relative to their putter shaft. It looks like maybe one side is peeking out at you and playing peekaboo around the putter shaft.

The so-called plumb bob green reading involves the use of a straight line (usually a straight putter shaft) projected on to the line from ball to hole. The putter does not have to be plumb to find this line (as in deChambeau) and the putter head and taper are irrelevant (deChambeau holds his putter in both hands just above the head). If the putter has a straight shaft, it is straight no matter which way the head is turned.

You are correct if and only if the guy is holding his putter shaft, straight up and down or in a perfectly straight line relative to a flat surface. To be warm, Bob, it would have to be hanging down where gravity can pull it either way. That’s why I talk about calibrating the Potter because they don’t hang true

Bryson uses aim point that is why they stand aside over the line near the hole and uses width of fingers in relation to the direct line to the hole so if you hold the putter straight at an angle away from you no matter how far away you are you can still have the shaft appearing in line with the hole. The amount of slope determines by experience how many fingers to one side of the straight line the point you aim at. is a guide but pretty good at working out the amount of slope. On shorter putts if you can't work out the slope standing astride feeling with your feet helps a lot so more weight on one foot means it slopes that side,if weight even then straight near the hole so check a various distances.. Also if the hole has marks or wear at a point on the inside rim it could be where the ball keeps going to from one side. All takes time so do all this when it is not your turn to put stopping or pausing when partners are over the putt. Once you done all this try and see in your mind how the ball will move to the hole . Then it is all done to speed.

Still unclear about this. When you are aligning the ball and hole, are you looking with both eyes or do you close your non-dominant eye? And how can you tell which side of the hole is higher? Seems to me that if I'm using the right-edge of the shaft to bisect the ball and hole, the shaft will be covering the left side of the hole
@misteroneputt
@misteroneputt 9 ай бұрын
You are using your dominant eye, and then aligning the shaft with the hole as you describe. Yes, you would blood out one side of the hole, the side that you see will appear to be tilted higher or lower off your shaft, which is hanging perpendicular in other words, instead of looking 90° off your shift, the whole will be tilted where it is more or less than 90°.

I’m going to disagree with you and blame Slow play on slow players not on me. I clearly demonstrated near the end of this video that you can plumb bob and make a putt in about 40 to 45 seconds total time walking onto the green, reading the poet by plumb bobbing, and then making the stroke. The fact is slow players play slow. The guys who hit driver when they shouldn’t and then spend 15 minutes looking for their bowl The guys who are telling jokes and talking when they should be reading the green those are the slow players. I hear and understand what you are saying, but give me a green reading method that works that is any faster than this.

I was the fastest putter of the foursome I played with last night and surprised all of them because I normally 3-4 putt. Yesterday I one putted 3 holes and two putted the rest of the 9 holes we played. This worked for me and actually made my putting time quicker not slower.

I don't see how this method works. IF you stand behind the ball with your feet exactly centered on the line from the hole to the ball, AND you stand perfectly perpendicular to the green at your feet, then your head/eyes will shift left or right depending on the slope AT YOUR FEET. But 1) it requires your feet to be perfectly centered and 2) your stance must be held to exactly 90 degrees from the surface you are standing on and 3)it does not account for any slope changes between your feet and the hole. Lots of variables. So yes, perhaps this can be another tool to help judge the slope but not too useful to me.
@misteroneputt
@misteroneputt 5 ай бұрын
It does give you an accurate read of break on putts of relatively short to medium distance. With longer distance or double breaks the problems you mention cause a problem. You are right it is another tool and we should all have multiple green reading tools to use.

Hi, at 7:30 you said the plumb Bob tells you that “one side of the hole is higher” .. you need to explain yourself better than that I’m afraid. It’s strange that at this important point in the process i.e. reading the putt, you pass over it with zero explanation😢. As far as I can make out the PB gives you a straight line reference which helps in a two-option decision, left or right. Then it’s a question of how much break. The KZbinr didn’t actually explain how to read the putt and the video is 16 mins long, hmmm
@misteroneputt

The shaft is vertical and the hole is horizontal. A straight putt both sides of the hole would appear perpendicular to the shaft or 90 degree angles. If one side is higher on the shaft, the putt breaks away from that high side…gravity.

well, first off...when you talk about calibrating, you are mixing up "straight" and "plumb." A ruler, at any angle, is "straight." What you want to calibrate is with something that is plumb, meaning it is exactly parallel with the direction of gravity, i.e. points directly to the Earth's center of gravity. secondly, the method of calibration depends on you finding something in your house that is plumb. You assume that the door frame is plumb. In many houses, door frames, windows, outlets, etc. are not plumb. They might be close-ish, but they are not plumb.
