5m 52s
In this AimPoint University video, we take a closer look at how putting side spin on a chip shot can cause the ball to behave differently once it lands.
We further refine our short game read by showing you how to adjust for this variable. If you choose to cut or draw your chip shot, the basic AimPoint read can be fine-tuned to better reflect how side spin will influence the ball's behavior. These adjustments can significantly improve accuracy and consistency around the green.
You’ll also learn how the tilt of the ball created by side spin changes its reaction with the slope upon landing, deflecting it in a different manner depending on how it interacts with the slope. Understanding and adapting to this dynamic is a key step in mastering AimPoint for short game shots.
