World number one Stacy Lewis explained to Geoff Shackelford how she the got the jump on the rest of the field in the putting stats using Aimpoint.
Yep. Well, it's Aimpoint and everybody can go take a class and learn it, so I guess it's not too much of a secret. But I learned it, gosh it's been almost three years, two and a half, three years. It's really based on gravity and how water flows off of a green. So every time I walk up to a whole, I'm trying to find a straight putt, and once you find a straight putt, it's how much slope there â€'â€' what affects the read is how much slope is there and then how far away you are from the straight putt. So the further you get from the straight putt, the more it's going to break. So it's a combination of that and you have a little chart that gives you the exact read for every single putt. So it's really, it's almost like cheating. I can walk around and have down to the inch how far every putt's going to break. So I can â€'â€' and that's the thing, too, is you're walking around, you're feeling it with your feet versus looking at it, and that's kind of the big difference because a lot of times golf courses try to throw you off visually with mounds or hills or whatever it may be on how putts break.
I caught up with Aimpoint founder Mark Sweeney and Irish Aimpoint instructor Donal Scott to chat about the system earlier this year.
