Stop guessing! Use this formula to read greens πŸ‘‡


If you're struggling to read greens you need to learn this process.

Ralph shared a simple formula that combines putt distance and slope percentage, and it’s been a game changer for meβ€”I've used it on every putt since.

⛳️ Putting formula that has changed my putting routine:

In our latest video with Ralph Bauer he taught a simple formula that can easily show you exactly where to aim.

Big thanks to Ralph Bauer for sharing all this info. Definitely check out his app! Really useful for learning the system and working on practicing green reading.

Here's what I've been doing over every putt.

Step 1 - Pace off the putt.

Step 2 - (Number of Paces * 2) - 1

Step 3 - That number tells you how far from the center of the hole the put will break on a 1% slope.

Step 4 - Look at the point 2/3 of the way from the ball to hole and determine the slope.
​

**Example Calculation**: If the putt is 5 paces and the slope is 1%, the break would be (5 * 2) - 1 = 9 inches.

If the slope is 2%, the break is 9 * 2 = 18 inches.

​
You probably have questions like...

What if it's uphill, downhill, greens are faster than normal, grain, double breaker... etc.

To find those answers you'll have to check out the vid :)

Justin Kraft showed me something that made me immediately pull up my own swing on video. There are two distinct wrist patterns on tour. 60% of pros use one. 20% use another (60+20=100% 🧐 ). Once you know which pattern you fall into, a lot of other stuff starts to click.
