This video is designed to provide you with the kno...

When the landing slope and rolling slope are radically different, your basic green read needs an adjustment. For instance, if your landing slope is steeper than the roll out section, it will significantly deflect the ball before it even starts to roll out. In these cases, you should read both the...

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 A...

This realization led to the development and widespread adoption of the AimPoint Express Read—a faster, more intuitive method...

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...

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...
