Green Reading Basics 101 With David Orr
See Part 2 of this session here: • GOLF: Green Reading Ba...
It was an honor to film with David Orr at his home course, Pine Needles Lodge and Golf Club in Southern Pines, NC.
David Orr is one of the leading putting coaches in the world. His teaching method is based on research, not on theory. ‘Never guess what you can measure’ is one of his key philosophies. David’s research and teaching protocol led him to the PGA Tour where he’s worked with world-class players such as Justin Rose and Suzann Pettersen. Check out www.flatstickacademy.com to get access to David’s personal, online putting academy and the absolute putting gold he shares there.
In this video David and I are going right to the foundation of good putting - GREEN READING! In this first part of my two-part fundamental lesson with David we tackle how to determine slope and break and the skills you need to focus on - read, speed, line THEN aim - to improve your putting performance.

really good information , i will be trying this and i might start holing some of them longer puts, there is so much to learn about putting, i must of mist 5, 6 foot birdies opportunities last week just from miss reading the put , more of these vids please .

Thanks, Andrew! Hope it helps....more to come with David!!

I watched the series with D Orr and took it to heart. After playing my first round, I feel my stroke is very comfortable and distance control is improved and will continue to follow this process to adhere to more applications. I have followed the book "Perfect Putting" by Horton Smith for many years. Written in 1961 it is out of print, but avail. from used book sources. This may be the origin of straight back putting, and emphasizes that and feel. You might find this book interesting for reference.

Is it permitted to measure the slope by feet if doing so will step on the intended line of the next player, assumed his ball is near to yours?

@menevetsny 4 года назад

I've attended Aimpoint clinics and still picked up some things here. Although that speaks to my memory rather than the quality of the clinics. Always be learning.

@Jonwoo41 4 года назад

Liked the video, but is he just recommending golfers use Aimpoint/Aimpoint express? I kind of got that feeling from the video. The use of the putter shat to verify your line is some I will put into my routine for sure.

@CogornoGolf 4 года назад

Hey Jonathan-thanks! Yes-big picture the best thing to do would be learning Aimpoint from somewhere near you. If you are going to invest the time and energy to improve that's the most efficient and best use of your time...takes the guessing out of play! More to come on this in part 2!

@daniel80111 4 года назад

Random question but are you allowed to walk over the line you are putting on when using aimpoint? Noticed when you were walking the line to check the slope that you were standing on the line of the left to right putt. Thanks!

@CogornoGolf 4 года назад

Along side it

@gunghogolf 4 года назад

Yes, under the new USGA rules of golf, you can touch or walk on your putting line and even pat down spike marks with your putter. AimPoint express practitioners typically straddle their putting line when feeling the slope with their feet; alternatively you can stand to the side, but sometimes that will give you a different read. See www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/rules-hub/rules-modernization/major-changes/touching-the-line-of-play-on-a-putting-green.html

@jrose7381 3 года назад

@@CogornoGolf jus fukn with u. In a video I was on years ago I said “um” about a thousand times. Haha

@joeperez3520 4 года назад

I tried this several years ago and could never get the hang of estimating the "Percentage" of slope. I bought the Aim Point DVD, TWO electronic levels that could measure percentage of slope (big one for the range, small one to keep in the bag), and no matter how many afternoons I spent just standing on the practice green, estimating the slope, then looking down at the level, I could never come close to consistency. I don't think this is something that you will get the hang of in just a few weeks, and may take MONTHS or longer. For me, it was NEVER, and I'm a fairly good putter.

@CogornoGolf 4 года назад

Thanks for the feedback and your experiences, Joe! Perhaps not for everyone...all good...just have to find a way that works for you! I have worked with many students who have learned Aimpoint and they love it and perform much better! Different ways to get the job done!

@joeperez3520 4 года назад

Eric Cogorno Golf I have wanted Aim Point to work, hence buying two levels and spending all that time on the putting green. Now that I’ve joined a golf club that gives me unlimited use of the practice facilities, only a matter of time before I’m back out there with the levels. 😄

Is there any alternative to "sensing" break with your feet? I have tried it several times when Aimpoint first came out, must lack sensors below my ankles ):

@CogornoGolf 4 года назад

Hey Sergio! For sure...are you able to SEE slope with your eyes? That works as well!

@sergiomartin2007 4 года назад

@@CogornoGolf Porcentage wise, not enough. If you break the putt in 3 areas: face/path at impact, speed and read, let´s say porcentages of success are likely 95/70/40 respectively. Frustrating.

@CogornoGolf 4 года назад

I would find a good putting coach to work with in person to find the best solution for you!

@RogerFoxwellHypnotherapy 4 года назад

Great info from these putting videos but the instant, "got it" "gotcha" " yep" the second each new point is explained seems to interrupt ones' thinking process as the brain is working out the new information. For me giving a fraction more time would really help otherwise its feels like having your thoughts interrupted lol. Thanks anyway, learning a lot.

@CogornoGolf 4 года назад

Sorry about that....when I saw that back I found it annoying myself! Thanks for the feedback! Hope all is well.

@RogerFoxwellHypnotherapy 4 года назад

Thanks for your reply Eric. Keep the videos coming and stay well

@ballerbilliards 4 года назад

Husky Digital level is so 2009. There are free Clinometer apps for smartphones that read in % slope, and if you get one, you’ll always have your level in your pocket. Pre-round putting practice should include a few minutes of calibration for both your feet and for green speed (which affects how much you bend your elbow when using the finger method of Aimpoint Express). Finding a perfect 2% slope putt for calibration purposes is quick and easy.

@CogornoGolf 4 года назад

Love it! Great idea...wasn't familiar with that, will look into it!

@menevetsny 4 года назад

I've compared readings with bubble level apps and a Husky and got different readings. It's been awhile, maybe the apps have improved. Plus the digital level is longer, although phones have gotten larger. You don't even have to download an app now, there's a level in the compass app that's part of iOS if you're using an iPhone.

@ballerbilliards 4 года назад

menevetsny I use the Clinometer app on an iPhone XS Max, and it’s spot on with digital levels. I just took a look at the iOS compass app, and while there is a little floating crosshair in the middle to indicate level, it has no readout of % slope, so useless for Aimpoint Express training.

@menevetsny 4 года назад

@@ballerbilliards Good to know. The last time I used the app was when I had an iPhone 6. I have an XS, so will compare when the weather gets better.

@johnzell30 4 года назад

@Ron Hombaker thanks! Downloaded the Clinometer to my iPhone and have a dumb question ... can you stand and aim the floating crosshair or is it better to squat down to aim at the hole in order to get a better slope % reading?

@hickorydragon8114 2 года назад

@temporarystranger95 4 года назад

Interesting how the pro’s who use the aim point method are not considered the best putters on Tour, but are often the weakest. You don’t see the best putters on Tour using this methodology.

@CogornoGolf 4 года назад

Thanks for the feedback!

@bretwells7487 4 года назад

Because only Adam Scott and Hunter Mayhan use this method. Please... a lot of tour players use this method when they cannot identify the line.

@Rd-bi7vr Год назад

But subtle slopes are not easy tojudge by the feet

@CogornoGolf Год назад

That skill can be trained in :)

@deonpersaud8502 4 года назад

Too much technical jargon. Haven't learned anything new. Speed of putt is most important. Once you can be fairly consistent with putt speed, then you can pick your line knowing the speed.

@CogornoGolf 4 года назад

Thanks for the feedback, Deon!

@ScratchArkkitehti 3 года назад

DIGITAL LEVEL > Slope apps. A phones dimension isnt wide enough to get a perceptible slope. Otherwise you could get a read out difference of up to 3.5%. Orrs spot on.

@CogornoGolf 3 года назад

Yessir!
