Need some help on the greens? You might get some help from AimPoint

Jeff Shaw, PGA has been teaching golf for over 30 years. He also teaches golfers how to read greens with AimPoint technology. It’s been said that it takes 20 to 30 years to be a good green reader. Not so with AimPoint. In one of Jeff’s clinics the student will be able to take what they’ve learned in two hours and read any putt on any golf course effectively.

AimPoint is an Emmy award winning technology that was originally developed for the Golf Channel, by Mark Sweeney. Remember the big green line that was super imposed onto the green? When a player’s putt was on that line, at the right speed the ball would go into the hole. That technology has evolved over the past few years into a chart that would give the player the correct break, in the number of inches.

Then came along the Express read. This is what you see top players like Stacy Lewis use on the LPGA Tour. She feels slope then holds up fingers to give her the correct amount of break to play. Stacy has been using the Express read with great success. In fact, there are professional players on every Tour around the world using the Express method.

There are some secrets however that Jeff cannot reveal. When you attend a clinic you’ll learn those secrets that make the technology work. The method is very easy to learn, and Jeff has taught juniors from age 7 to seniors over 80, college coaches to college players and tour caddies to tour players. All have found it very user friendly. Sure, there’s always going to be someone that thinks they know how to read a green and think it’s not for them, but you can’t fight physics. And once you trust your feet instead of your eyes, then you’ll start seeing how putts react, which will allow you to make a more trusting stroke and ultimately make more putts.
