Green Reading For Lazy People (Works Amazing!)

They say 100% of misread putts don't go in. FACT. And most of us suck at green reading. In this video I talk about a modified way to use Aimpoint to be a WAY better green reader while still playing at a normal person pace (and not having to spend all your spare time teaching your feet what slopes feel like).

Hope this is helpful! Let me know with the Like button and Comments!

Here is an example of a digital spirit level you can use:
A few suggestions:
1. You don't need a super long one, but try to get one at least 12in/30cm long
2. Most have some margin of error unless you spend a LOT. You don't really need a super precise one.
3. IMO the most important thing is getting one that you can see easily in sunlight.
4. You can also skip this part and just try to calibrate your read with your feet and hands like I mention in step 2.

**If you're into improving your game, I highly recommend this book:**
THIS BOOK IS AMAZING. Teaches you all the stuff you would have to spend YEARS figuring out on the course, has tons of pictures and clear explanations, and stands the test of time (I've had my copy over 20 years, and everyone I've recommended it to, loves it).

WHO IS THIS GUY
Hey - I'm Manu, a full-time desk-jobber and part-time golfer living in the San Francisco Bay Area. After 23 YEARS of mindless hacking, I finally got my act together and dropped my handicap from ~12 to scratch.

What I learned is we waste a lot of time at the range, but there are SO MANY THINGS you can do to get big results IMMEDIATELY. I mean literally in ONE SWING. And so I make videos to share what I've learned and help you make the journey WAY faster (and with less frustration). Hope this is helpful!

Manu, great learning about aiming, thanks for the sharing and updating new post.. super appreciate from Jason

Wow Manu, you're almost at 10k subs, you've been doing great work! I added this to my playlist and I will watch it later. Thanks for the continued effort for pushing out great content.

I have used AimPoint on and off for years but never thought to calibrate my reads on the practice green before a round, so thanks for that suggestion. Of course it doesn’t help that my home course practice green usually runs faster than the actual greens 🤦🏻‍♂️

"100% of misread putts don't go in" - unless your stroke is also bad so sometimes you miss in the opposite direction that you misread it and accidentally make the putt 😅

Manu, I thought that the bending of the elbow has to do with the speed of the greens and uphill vs down hill, not the slope which is "felt" through the feet and indicated by how many fingers.

i just dont feel anything in my feet unless its 2+ % break, so i really dont know how to learn this

Aimpoint is crazy. Golf is already too slow. Most people can’t even hit their spot 3 feet in front of them. Do you also use a line on the ball to take even longer? Just learn what a breaking putt looks like, be an athlete, and hit a straight putt towards the start line of the path that will intersect the apex. DO NOT start the putt at the apex or all your putts will fall to the low side of the hole. The start line should always be above the apex! Thank you:)

Aimpoint is nonsense. It may work as scaffolding for high handicappers but scaffolding should be ripped away ASAP
