I see many pros doing it also.Īnd it's fast. 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).
#Plumbob golf how to#
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. Put some dancing shoes on and stand as close to the ball as possible. I umb bobbing can help with very subtle breaks. When Garner would putt he would use his putter as a plumb bob in order to see the break on a putt. The episode I just watched was with James Garner. It was a half-hour show with Sam Snead taking on a celebrity in a nine-hole match for charity. In practice, it is more useful for detecting more subtle slopes and breaks. I was just watching a video on YouTube of a show from the early 1960s called Celebrity Golf. 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. 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.
