in today's video I'm going to show you the simple easiest way to read the most
difficult putts imaginable that we all miss read all the time and guess what
when I show you this you're just gonna say what doesn't make any sense at all
but it's gonna work
okay this is the hardest putt the downhill left-to-right putt now I'm
gonna talk for the right-handed player so if your lefty just reverse everything
I say okay but we all seem to under the downhill left to writers but there's a
simple way to figure out how much it breaks and get it right pretty much
every time now this is just for your basic flat up and down slope uphill
downhill now if there's a mound or something then this doesn't really apply
but for the basic flat greens that's up down this is how you make sure you read
that perfectly every time so here's what happens so right now I have the exact
same putt from the opposite side of the hole so it's the uphill version of that
same putt now this is the weird thing about this the average player is able to
read the uphill putt correctly like 85% of the time not that you make it that
much but typically the average player reads the uphill putt correctly most of
the time however they read the exact same putt going downhill they read it
incorrectly 85% of the time it's strange right why why would you read the exact
same putt wrong going downhill versus uphill doesn't make any sense
but so here's how you read the downhill one correctly so you're gonna come
around to the other side of it and you're going to read the uphill version
of your exact same putt so if you're on that side and you have a 10-footer just
come directly in line with that the exact distance and you're gonna read the
uphill putt okay so when you're playing around just walk around read real fast
and move around the other side and apply this theory and and Stroke your putt
so I'm gonna read this first and I'm just gonna put a tee where I want to
start the ball right
that's about it and I'm going to set up I'm going to use my input to just help
align myself perfectly so I start the ball perfectly online okay and if you
haven't seen my input review I'll put a link right up here for you to check out
all right and my man Jack here so jets gonna help me set up right look
at how we set up all right you got the string so use whatever you have to kind
of make sure just make sure that you're you're in line with exactly where you
want to start the ball so I'm going to start the ball at the tee and and if I
read it correctly should break correctly into the hole
okay now we know exactly how much it breaks uphill now watch this here's the
trick now we're back to our original downhill putt here's where the trick
comes into play what we want to do is we take our read from the uphill putt and
we multiply it by one and a half so we do not double but one and a half times
that much so right this is about two putter faces I'm going to add one more
putter face so it's three right if it was two-foot I would have three foot
putt now if it was a four foot putt yeah I'd have six feet I'm adding half of the
length that it currently breaks right that's the math in it that in theory
should work most of the time not all the time but most of the time that way
you're not going to be under reading it all the time so now I'm just gonna kind
of I'm gonna eyeball it with my putter put my input down line up and see if the
theory holds water as they say
remember the uphill putt you're going to read correctly more often than the
downhill putt so we want to read that one first and then they just add half of
that distance to your current read for the downhill version of it and you're
going to be way better off you're gonna make more putts and by not always work
perfectly but you can be in better shape have better chance than you did if you
just read it incorrectly to begin with this little trick hope you liked the

done so already we'll see you in the next video
