In this AimPoint University video, you'll learn a game-changing approach to training putt speed by focusing on time rather than just distance. Most golfers instinctively judge how hard to hit a putt based on the distance they are from the hole, but that method falls short when you factor in uphill and downhill slopes or varying green speeds.
Mark, Jamie, and Gareth introduce the concept of timing your putts using a metronome as a training tool. By observing how long it takes the ball to travel from the putter to the hole, you gain a much deeper understanding of speed control.
This simple yet powerful concept helps players become more adaptable and precise, improving performance under pressure and across all green conditions. If you’re looking to level up your putting, understanding time might be the missing link in your process.

AimPoint University-How to Measure Stimp
Green speed is a critical factor in putting, and understanding how to measure it can dramatically improve your speed control and break reading. The stimp measurement is a mathematical way to determine green speed, whether at your home course or a new one. It’s all about friction—less friction mea...

AimPoint University-Ignore the First ...
The team do a deep dive into a common misconception in green reading: the idea that the slope in the first third of a putt should influence your read. We explain why this simply isn’t the case—and why relying on early slope can actually lead to misreads, confusion, and inconsistency on the greens...

AimPoint University-Vector Putting
Many golfers have been told to determine break by hitting a putt straight at the hole and observing how it moves, but this method can lead to significant errors. The main issue is that the angle at which the ball moves across the green affects how much side tilt it experiences, which in turn infl...
