Order Services Reading Putts Reading putts for most golfers is real guess work. Most golfers determine the amount of break of a putt from past experience.
Most putts are under-read by golfers, even the professionals.
I have developed a method to read putts using a plumb bob. Many would argue that plumb bobbing can only tell you which way a putt breaks, but not the amount. I was one of those people. But after analyzing the physics and mathematics of a breaking putt, I have determined a fairly simple procedure of taking what is learned from plumb-bobbing, and calculating the amount of break, which depends on the speed of the green and the length of the putt. First of all, how does one plumb bob.
