Today on The Golf Sensei, we delve into the controversial yet effective technique of Plum Bobbing. This method, involving a weight and string, aims to revolutionize how golfers read greens. By determining eye dominance and aligning shoulders with the slope, players can gauge the break direction accurately. The key lies in letting the putter dangle like a plum bob, mimicking a carpenter's tool to find the true line. It's a technique that requires practice on various slopes to master the art of green reading.
For straight putts, the shaft must block out both the ball and the hole, ensuring a clear focus on the intended line. While Plum Bobbing excels at reading single breaks, it may falter on double breaks, a limitation worth noting. Enter Aim Point, a method that factors in putt speed to anticipate breaks near the hole. Understanding when and where a putt will break is crucial, especially on lengthy greens where precision is key. The Aim Point technique offers a strategic approach to reading greens, enhancing a player's overall putting game.
In conclusion, The Golf Sensei's exploration of Plum Bobbing sheds light on a unique yet effective green reading technique. By combining traditional methods with modern insights, golfers can elevate their putting skills to new heights. Whether mastering single breaks with Plum Bobbing or anticipating breaks with Aim Point, the key to success lies in practice and precision. So, next time you're on the green, consider trying out these innovative techniques to sink more putts and lower your scores.
