In this video we dive into the key adjustments needed for uphill and downhill putts. You'll learn how the slope affects both the break and speed of the ball—and why time is a critical factor. Downhill putts require the ball to take longer to reach the hole, demanding a softer touch and more precise read. On uphill putts, the ball is struck harder, meaning it gets to the hole faster, affecting how much it breaks.
We also explore how these insights can shape your on-course strategy, helping you leave your ball in better positions for more makeable putts.
Plus, we cover how to adjust your arm bend when reading putts to better account for slope changes. Understanding these nuances can take your green reading and putting consistency to the next level.
