Tom Tucker teaches all aspects of the golf game at The Plum Creek Driving Range & Practice Facility<\/strong> in Batavia. Tom may be found online at http:\/\/www.TomTuckerGolf.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

About this time of the year, my outdoor lesson workload slows down, and the indoor
\nlessons don’t get rolling for about another month. So now is when I review all of my lesson
\noutlines, notes, and student feedback, and decide where I can make improvements.
\nAfter some thought, I decided to improve my green reading skills – for two reasons:<\/p>\n

1) As a professional golf teacher, I feel obliged to stay on top of different instruction
\nmethods, and<\/p>\n

2) From a personal perspective, since I usually play the same course for most of my
\nown play, I pretty much know every break in every green by heart. As a result, my green
\nreading skills were not being used or practiced enough. To keep your green reading skills
\nsharp, I think you’ve got use ’em or you lose ’em.<\/p>\n

So two weeks ago Sunday, I invested $325 to take the Fundamental and Advanced AimPoint
\nGreen Reading classes presented by John Graham at the Webster GC in Webster NY.<\/p>\n

I coached against John when I was with the GCC Golf Team and he was coaching at MCC.
\nI know John to be a very thorough person, and I had been wanting to look into AimPoint
\nfor quite awhile. I also knew that John had gravitated to specializing in AimPoint at the
\nexpense of almost everything else, and I had personal confidence in him. So, other than
\nmissing the Bills game and the Fedex Cup finals, everything fit my brain and my schedule well.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Fundamentals<\/strong>\u00a0class ran from 10 am to 12:30 pm, and the\u00a0Advanced<\/strong>\u00a0class ran from
\n1:15 pm to 5 pm on a sunny but cool day. There were four attendees for the\u00a0Fundamentals
\n<\/strong>class, and three for the\u00a0Advanced<\/strong>\u00a0class, so we got plenty of personal attention.<\/p>\n

John did an excellent job in the presentation of the material for each class,
\nas expected.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>The big question to me going in was the viability and practicality of the method, so
\nI’ll give you my perspective as a golf teacher as well as a player.<\/p>\n

It was made clear at the beginning of the\u00a0Fundamentals\u00a0<\/strong>class that what would\u00a0not\u00a0<\/strong>be
\ntaught was speed control, putting mechanics, or putter fit. It did cover factors that control
\nthe break of a putt, how to identify them, and how to begin predicting expected break
\namounts. It only covered single-plane putts shorter than 20 feet, and did not cover
\nadvanced topics such as multi-planar surfaces, multiple breaks, and long putts.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Fundamentals<\/strong>\u00a0class was conducted on a well groomed practice green.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Advanced<\/strong>\u00a0class covered several methods for reading multi-planar putts and how to
\nuse the system on course.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Advanced<\/strong>\u00a0class was conducted on the practice green, and on several open
\nholes on the course – for variety to challenge our newly acquired green reading skills.<\/p>\n

The AimPoint method claims that it presents a precise way to read greens, and as a result
\nwhere to establish your aimpoint so that you have a better chance to hole breaking putts.<\/p>\n

AimPoint utilizes three main factors to establish break: distance, slope, and angle. Nothing
\nnew there, as that’s what goes into figuring your aiming point for all breaking putts.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Fundamentals<\/strong>\u00a0green reading skills first involved establishing distance by pacing
\noff your putt, then finding your “zero” line (essentially your fall line), then establishing the
\npercentage of slope – usually one, two, or three percent.<\/p>\n

After all of that is done, you consult a 4″ by 8″ plastic flip chart that shows the different
\ndistances to aim away from the hole as the angle for the putt, the slope, and the speed of
\nthe green changes.<\/p>\n

During the\u00a0Fundamentals<\/strong>\u00a0class, we practiced reading putts with pretty much consistent
\nbreak, but with varying slope percentages.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Advanced<\/strong>\u00a0class dealt with putts on different planes and double breaks. When
\nreading the greens for these putts, one has to take – or estimate – multiple slope and distance
\nreadings, then do some simple math calculations, then consult the chart to establish an
\naimpoint for the putt.<\/p>\n

WHAT I LIKED<\/p>\n

<\/strong>I personally got a great refresher on green reading, as well as some new information that
\nI will use in my own Advanced Putting lessons
\nhttp:\/\/www.tomtuckergolf.com\/lessonrates.html#ANCHOR10C<\/p>\n

<\/a>For me, I felt that the most useful aspect of these classes was developing the ability to
\nidentify a good aiming spot off the AimPoint chart for those putts inside of 10 feet that
\nhave a consistent break. For those 5 and 6 footers, using the system should provide
\nenough confidence to stroke a relatively short putt with a lot of break in it at the correct
\nspeed vs. slamming it at the hole to take out break because of aiming point uncertainty.
\nSometimes those “slams” that miss the hole leave too much meat on the return putt.<\/p>\n

WHAT THE JURY IS OUT ON<\/p>\n

<\/strong>First of all, the whole system revolves around a player being able to roll a putt at
\na speed for a given target that rolls 8″ to 12″ past the target. The player also needs to
\nbe able to start their putt on an intended aimline consistently.<\/p>\n

AimPoint clearly identifies these factors in their promotional material.<\/p>\n

It’s been my experience as a teacher that these two skills are not present in most
\nplayers – especially rolling the ball at a correct, consistent speed. As a result, a
\nlot of players might not feel that the system works for them – and in fact it wouldn’t
\n– because the speed of the roll is of paramount importance in the AimPoint method.<\/p>\n

The claim to precision relies on several factors that have a lot of variables. You first
\nhave to establish the stimp (speed) of the greens, which you are taught to do on the
\npractice green with a level and the AimPoint chart. Then you need to get an accurate
\ndistance estimate for each putt, as well as a fall line read and a correct slope
\npercentage estimate.<\/p>\n

A lot of the estimation involves visual reads as well as tactile reads from your body.<\/p>\n

Again, as a teacher I have found that a lot – maybe most – of my students have a tough time
\nmaking visual reads and estimations. Making tactile reads with their feet – even with my
\nmore accomplished players – is even more difficult for most, and both types of reads are
\nabsolutely essential for success with this system.<\/p>\n

Last but not least are time considerations in making all of the reads and calculations,
\nthen consulting the chart to get your aim point. It takes practice to get these calculations
\ndown quickly. Having noted that, I think it can be done with practice – especially for
\nuncomplicated breaking putts.<\/p>\n

THE VERDICT<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Personally, I see a lot of merit in the system for the player that practices consistent
\ndistance control on their putting – with the caveat that all the reads and calculations need
\nto be made quickly so as not to hold up play.<\/p>\n

However, to be honest, I don’t think this system is for everyone.<\/p>\n

I tried the system out in a round last week, and the third time I pulled out the chart
\nI thought my playing partners were going to de-pants me. Apparently I’m not quick
\nenough yet.<\/p>\n

Seriously – as I said earlier, I think it will be very useful for those mid distance and
\nshort putts with a single break and relatively consistent slope. I think it would take too
\nlong to make calculations – even if you’re quick – with long, multiple plane breaking putts.<\/p>\n

It would be very useful if you had the time to go and chart each green for slope areas
\nahead of time. That would speed up calculation time considerably. Some courses have
\ngreen slope charts, which would make the AimPoint system considerably faster to use.<\/p>\n

So … I’m going to practice feeling slope with my feet over the winter – for real, no joke.
\nI’m making one, two, and three percent slope ramps and I intend to practice standing on
\nthem in my in my golf shoes to get a feel for how the different slopes feel to my feet.
\nThat will speed the process up to where I should be able to use the chart without
\ncausing any unnecessary delay, all things considered.<\/p>\n

And I might start wearing suspenders as well as a belt if I use the chart with the
\nsame foursome again, just to keep my pants up. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Enjoy your golf,<\/p>\n
