    If viewers don't realize this is a great video I'm afraid that me saying it is great isn't going to help, but this is a super lesson. I've been waiting for this video ever since your first video with Scott. I already bought the marker after seeing a video by Tim Tucker and have been using it. The basics are simple, but it takes a little practice to master. However, it simplifies green reading SIGNIFICANTLY. Nobody should ever watch this lesson just one time, too much you will miss. Thanks Jerome, your channel is great.

      Seriously, putting is way more applicable to the average viewer than what Dana is teaching Jerome. Almost none of us have Jerome's athleticism or specific body motions in the full swing, but all of us can do with a better understanding of green reading, speed control and how to aim when putting.

    17:20 I'd argue that most great players start reading their putt from about 50 yards out if not more. Its really one of the best putting tips that doesn't get talked about

  • @ericb9994
    @ericb9994 2 месяца назад +1

    In regards to the Marker, I love the idea so I did some research. The angles of the putts on the marker will not correlate to every green stimp meter reading. At 1% Slope an 8 stimp meter green will have a 4 inches of break on a 10ft putt and a 12 stimp meter green will have 6 inches of break on a 10ft putt. The gap between length of break doubles with 2% slopes and triples with 3%.

I enjoy watching, especially your full round videos.

    Distance question (first step in the learning process, right?): The "distance" surely can not only and always be the straight line path between the ball and the hole except for the straight up or down putts. The distance the ball has to roll is different for and longer for every percentage of the path isn't it?

    • @glenj.taylor2938
      @glenj.taylor2938 4 месяца назад +2

      I would say what the coach said applies...
      First thing you have to do is get your distance control solidified.
      Then, hit distance putts on the practice green.
      Tees set at 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20 feet.
      Or some similar intervals.
      Then, hit your stock distance and take note of where it stops.
      Then you'll be able to calculate your adjustment.
      If a 10 foot stroke produced a 6 or 7 foot Putt then you play your 10 foot putts out to 13 to 14 feet.
      You do have to also factor in slope, high vs low spots, overall exposure to sunlight, wind direction, temp and humidity levels, phase of the moon, and don't forget what your horoscope read for the day. You don't want to misdirecr your Chi or misalign your third eye, do you? 😂

    I agree with many commenters. $100? The expected life expectancy of my ball markers is about 4 rounds. This is just not a realistic purchase. Great idea but I need my retirement funds to grow about 400% to even consider buying this aid. Plus, my 78 1/2 year old brain doesn’t do well when I need to think this much while playing. My suggestion, get inside your fellow player on roughly the same line and watch his putt. A lot cheaper.

      I was also afraid to go play at a real course when I started golf. My solution was to sign up for a series of golf lessons (which costs less per hour) at a local range. That way, I got to pound balls, got told how to swing correctly, and didn't interfere with regular golfers. After 6 lessons in 6 weeks, plus some practice, I went to a short muni course, where I discovered I already hit the ball better than most of the muni players.

  • @76MUTiger

    Scott, I'm learning a lot from you today, BUT... The straight putt is NOT the hardest putt in golf. The breaking putt is because you have to match speed and line. If you get one of them wrong, you miss. A straight putt is much less demanding of the match. It's easier than the breaking putt.

    I have this marker and it’s not great. You would have to put the marker down at exactly the same distance from the ball every single time which is impossible and just adds another variable that you have to add. Even 5mm closer or father from the ball would change the line angle by a few degrees. This might not matter on a five foot putt but move back 25’ and your line would be off my a 6-8”.

    There's a lot of great information in this video and a lot of noise. Think about it like this. Sign your name. Then try to trace your own signature. You can't do it. An autonomous action has now moved to the front of your mind. You didn't think about it when you signed it the first time, it just happened. Same with driving a car. You drive and you don't think about how hard to press the gas or brake, how far to rotate the steering wheel. The action is autonomous. Running in the background in your mind. If you give a kid a putter and a ball and turn them loose on a putting green they will within an hour or so be rolling it well and making putts. Why? There not practicing Aim Point or figuring out percent of slope. They will instinctively figure out break and speed. There's a bit of information in this video that is taking away the feel, your signature. It's trying to break it down to a scientific hard fast rule. I'm not a fan of aim point because I think it takes away the feel and variables happen beyond our control. I think for the average weekend warriors it will slow down the game, because it takes a lot of time to develop that skill. You can walk on any green and I can guarantee you if you casually look at a putt you can see the break pretty quickly. Your mind will do the work autonomously without throwing all of this other information into the fray, it comes from experience. I'm a big Dave Pelz fan. I have every book he wrote on the short game and putting. His scientific analysis on those parts of the game are second to none. However, putting is an art and isn't something that can be scientifically broken down to hard fast rules, because variables happen. We aren't machines. South African Bobby Locke is regarded as one of the greatest putters ever. He hooked every putt. The list goes on and on with great putters who did it their way. I love the ball mark and could see myself using it, however I could see myself losing it too. I would suggest anyone read Dave Stocktons' book "Unconscious Putting."

      I understand what you've stated and for the most part agree with you.
      However, what you stated only applies to the average player.
      To shoot genuinely good scores, natural talent of that magnitude is extraordinarily rare.
      Most humans HAVE TO go above and beyond their own natural talent in order to reach scratch or better.
      Look at Bryson DeChambeau, he is as good a player as he is because of his analytic nature.
      He has fun now but that's because he has put in the time and effort and from he's stated in his videos, he's finally broken away from the image he felt he had to portray to play the game. RUclips and those personalities he's befriended, Garrett Clark of GM_Golf and GoodGood, is likely the top contributor to that.

      @industrialpalletworx3548 4 месяца назад

      @glenj.taylor2938 totally disagree with that scratch player sentiment. I don't give a rats a*s about Bryson and what he does. Y'all need to get out of the RUclips bubble and realize there's thousands of great players that have come before RUclips golf. This current crop has invented the wheel. They've merely done what other greats have done. Playing to scratch really isn't that difficult. It's simply fairways and greens. Minimize the costly mistakes and take advantage of the opportunities you can.

      While putting from outside ten feet, the key is to imagine the hole being a round trashcan lid.
      Putt with the intent to stopping it in an area, not into the hole itself.
      If you're aiming to a little, tiny, unachievable point from far away then you'll be all over the place.
      Look at the pros percentage at all distances. Outside eight feet or so it drops off rapidly.
      Nothing wrong with two putts. It's the regular three and fours that'll git ya.

    I find that using quadratic equations and ballistic technology helps me. In fact, golf shouldn't really be a game that is fun...it should be a science where facts and math over shadow everything else. There needs to be a time limit of 30 minutes for putts longer than three feet so the competitor has every opportunity not to miss. With the proper use of all the technology available these days, nobody ever has to miss a 25 footer for eagle. I mean seriously folks, golf is a game. Take a look at the putt and make your best "guess" and then hit the damn thing. This video is a perfect example of what makes tour golf on TV these days almost unwatchable. Remember Jim Furyk? He'd take 20 minutes over a five footer. The best and most interesting golf is golf played by skilled athletes and not guys with a PhD in topography. The funny things is...a five year old kid who has never hit a putt in his life could probably make most of the putts we've seen in this video. He would look at the putt, grab the club, never worry about missing and then he'd simply stroke it in.

    You did all the things he suggested; you only hold one putt from 5 feet, but taken ages every time to decide whether it is one or one and a half break, I wouldn't want to play golf with you as it would probably take 6 hours per round. Too much information of putting I think can mess up you mind. Ok to use this information on the putting green to develope your putting skill so you can speed up the process automatically when you are playing for real? Doesn'y matter what aiming aids to have , you can still make mistake aiming it wrong. Aiming cannot be totally 100 % precise, even if you are, you still have to hit the right speed. Rarely practice putting green are like the real Greens on the course as real Green get affected by so many golf balls landing on them from great heights, so there are imperfect repaired pitch marks which makes most green a bit bumpy. You guys talking about putting on perfect gereen like a indoor purring mat!
