juspoole Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Hard to digest some of the results as a lot of it says that golfers do a poor job of reading greens. I agree it does help to put more emphasis on line and put less on mechanics during a round. If you can simply get it on the right line it can pay a lot of dividends. Now if you an't read a green to save your life, you still will struggle. I typically try to use a line to help with my alignment to then focus on speed. I did read unconscious putting last year which basically just like it sounds has your really focus on the read of the putt, but not using a line or doing any practice strokes and just go for it "unconsciously". It did help me for a bit, however overall i am more consistent using a line it seems since I can follow the line a bit easier starting from the ball line and going like a train track to the hole. joen 1 Quote Driver: Mavrik Sub Zero 9* (Set to 10) Ventus Blue 6X 2 Hybrid: TSI3 Hybrid Tensei Blue 80 X (17.25*) 3 Hybrid 818 H2 Hybrid Hzrdus RDX Black 6.5 (20.5*) 4 Iron - T200 4 Iron Graphite Design Tour AD IZ X Hybrid Shaft Irons 5-PW: T100-S 5 - GW KBS Tour 130 X Gap/Sand Wedge: Vokey SM6 49* SM8 54* Lob Wedge: Jaws 5 Wedge 58* DG Tour Issue Stiff Putter: Phantom 5.5 34" Pro Platinum Newport 2 35" Taylormade Tour Black Spider 34" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate_fuge Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I use a line when I have straight putt or one with little break. Also I only use a line if I'm inside 15ish feet. I don't use it for long putts. I always second guess myself on long putts, so I don't do it anymore. I really like using a line on short, straight putts. I know it's aimed correctly; All I got to do is hit it solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is amazing the difference between perception and reality. I had a bit different take-away than the author from a couple of tests and overall (I think these conclusions are just as justified as the author's conclusions): 1. It is much more difficult to judge the correct distance on a breaking/uphill/downhill putt than a flat straight putt. 2. Obsessing over line (which using the Putt Perfect device would tend to do) hurts performance on distance control. Using a line on a ball is a relatively small "device" to help with line relative to the Putt Perfect so it may be much less distracting than the Putt Perfect. There may (or may not) be a point at which an line assist is helpful but too much line assist is detrimental. joen 1 Quote Driver: Titliest TSi3 - Tensei white stiff Wood: PING G425 LST 14.5* - Tensei orange stiff Hybrid: PING G425 19* - Tensei orange stiff Irons: PING i525 - Project X I/O 5.5 - 4-W Wedges: Taylormade MG3 52* and HiToe 56* Project X I/O 6.0 Putter: TM Spider X HYDROBLAST (33", 3* upright) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may (or may not) be a point at which an line assist is helpful but too much line assist is detrimental. I think you need to be equally concerned about line and speed since they are intertwined. Line is about face control and speed is about tempo. But if a player cannot control the face and hits some with an open face and some with a closed face they will struggle with speed and distance. Players need to practice both skills, but I would agree that when playing speed is probably the most important since it determines line. Misses short and long (speed related) probably have a wider dispersion than those left and right (line related).

Jhigdon13 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I put the line on my ball perpendicular down the middle of the “Srixon”, creating a + if that makes sense? I like this for a few reasons. 1. I like the line because it gives me immediate feedback on my stroke. 2. Some days if the line is bothering me, I’ll flip it over and use the “Srixon”, trying to just square my face up with the logo. 3. Nobody else marks their ball like this so mine is easy to identify! Haha but I love the printed line that you got. Callaway has new balls now with a similar idea and Phil has been using them. joen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day, if you use the line and focus solely on that line when you step up to the ball, you’re hindering yourself and probably shouldn’t use it. I do use the line, but strictly for aiming purposes. Once I step up to the ball, the line is no longer part of my thought process. Simply focusing on speed and a good stroke. Putting is 100% feel and confidence. Whatever routine gives you the “I’m making this” mindset is the routine you should stick with. Love the video! Cool takes on the multiple ways to use the line(s).

Letthebigdogshunt Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) I have a plastic item that I can put onto the ball. It has a opening where you can take a sharpie and draw a fairly long line that does not wobble as it would by doing it by hand. I am not sure it helps all that much yet on long putts I find it helpful as I only have to worry about speed then. The main thing with any putting help is you need to be able to read the line you need to putt on correctly. If the read it wrong you will miss the putt whether or not you use a line on the ball. I used to pick my line and then pick a spot in front of the ball to start it rolling. I feel using the line on the ball is just as easy and gets the same or better results for me. The plastic item is called line it up. Not sure who makes it. Edited March 17, 2019 by Letthebigdogshunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
