I've done several videos on plumb bobbing and people always ask what I see and how to interpret that into a read. I did my best to accomplish that in this video. It is very difficult to put a camera lens exactly where my eye is. LOL...but we got close here.
OMG, someone finally was able to not only explain, but demonstrated how to use the mystical golfing tool so many talk about but cant express clearly. VERY nice job!
This is one of the better videos on youtube showing plumb bobbing and then explaining the break from the plumb bob. Appreciate you showing multiple examples too. Thank you!
Great effort ! Thank you ! However in the name of perfection ( know that isn't easy )!! I am asking for more as it is a difficult topic to demonstrate ! I kept seeing these the other way as in you say tilts right I see tilts left - can you therefore do this topic more later on with close ups of the hole ball club -and little graphics in video with arrows pointing showing tilt and another arrow different colour showing AIM HERE ! Once again really an loving your putting coaching and appreciate your fab efforts ! Best Wishes !
As a pretty good putter in my youth, I used plumb bobbing all the time. Your method is very unique, in that it doesn’t seem to involve the golf ball. The way we were taught to Plumb Bob, did involve the golf ball. Once we made sure that our shaft Hung vertically, we got directly behind the golf ball five or 6 feet generally. We were then let the putter hang and then put our shaft on one side of the golf ball and then the other. If it was a breaking pot, you could tell by the distance between, the edge of the hole and the ball which way the putt broke and how much. We then factored in that the closer the ball got to the hole, the slower it would be going due to gravity. And as gravity took over more noticeably as the ball slowed up, the more the putt broke the closer it got to the whole so we always factored in some extra break. Maybe your method works but I think if you try to involve the ball and the edge of the hole both right and left side you will see the difference in the spacing and that will give you an idea of the amount of break. Thanks for your video.
This is good. Sometime I look and I can not see any break. I put the bull and then see the break in hindsite. I believe this will be a tool I add to my puting. Thanks
I focus more on the hole by letting my eyes slowly trace the line to the hole and then back. I do this two times and then keep the picture in my head and then putt. Also, when I plumb bob I stand with my knees locked and the putter extend away from the center of my chest
Very useful, but I swear! You said left to right and I saw right to left! I missed something or there was a camera inversion? Please clarify. Good video and wise to re-emphasize the importance of good technique for speed and face on the stroke
I said the putt broke left to right. From my perspective as a player it did. On camera looking from the hole back to me it was right to left. I didn’t miss speak here. The putt broke from my left to my right. If you and I are facing. My left is your right
1 degree is quite a significant slope on a putt. I would be really impressed if anyone can hang their putter within 1 degree vertical, and even if they can, to observe a 1 degree change from a 90 degree cross (flat putt). Your feet will give you a much better feel for a slope than plumb bobbing.
If the hole is not in line with your ball it can only be because you are standing in the wrong place, it's got absolutely nothing to do with the slope of the land. The slope may be the reason you are not standing in the correct place, but a line between two objects does not change because of the slope.
What you say is correct...However the slope will cause the hole along that line to look higher or lower and on a severe break so much higher or lower that they appear out of line with each other. Hold up a pencil and put a CD on it with the pencil through the hole lift one side and look at it. That is what I am trying to communicate. Plumb Bobbing works for many people but not for all. I personally don't use it but have in the past.
@misteroneputt The slope makes no difference to the line between two fixed position objects. The only factors that are changeable are: 1. Your eye position. 2. The position of the vertical alignment (your putter) and 3. How vertical that alignment is. The slope at the cup will be limited because pins are almost always cut within 3ft of level ground. But the slope between your ball and that area could be severely sloped. I suspect plumb bob does work to a degree because good golfers have used it for generations. However, it's not for the reasons people think it works.
I get the part where the left or right of the hole looks higher. Does it mean anything if the hole is left or right of the putter shaft when it’s aligned with the ball?
I’ve never understood plum bobbing. If you stand directed behind the ball in a direct line with the hole EVERY putt will look Straight. Genuinely don’t know how the hole would be anything but behind the shaft like 4 minutes 28
@@BiffTannen-d2h not a criticism but plumb bobbing simply isn’t for some people. It is also admittedly hard to communicate it to people who don’t get it. It might help to think about it this way … balance a CD on an ink pen. Now if you tilt the CD while holding the pen completely still one side of the CD would appear higher or lower relative to the pen. Plumb bobbing is simply backing the pen away from the hole and lining it up relative to the hole and the ball.
I totally disagree with what you are seeing. The tilt of the cup really does mean much to me when I plumb bob a putt. The hole could just be put in at an angle.

I do involve the ball just didn’t emphasize it in this video

great video i have been looking for this exact video everywhere thank you for finally doing it

Thanks. I probably misspoke. I sometimes do that when trying to talk and think and putt all at once. LOL
I’ll try this next Spring!
Great video, glad you found the youth serum, better put it on your playing partners.
Hahahaha
Notice how each of your playing buddies focused on the ball and the stroke, instead of their target?
Exactly
I too got confused on the left to right. right to left. Where was the ball? Enjoy your vidios. Thanks

Or tour read. But I can see 1 degree or 1.5 very consistently
However you read greens it’s only one element of making the putt.
@@NineEyeRon very true
The problem is actually getting your putter to hang exactly vertical
I use plum on all the time 😊
Lol

Yes. If the hole shows left or right that indicates a significant break in that direction
John, I don’t see the link to the serum. Am I missing it?
Well, that is embarrassing. I forgot to paste it in. As soon as I can get in front of a laptop, I will insert it for you. My apologies.
