If you watch golf, you may have noticed Adam Scott, Justin Rose, Lydia Ko, and many more of the world’s leading professionals reading greens in a way we’ve never seen before. Turns out, the Aimpoint Express green reading system is now wildly popular on tour, and spreading to the ranks of many amateur golfers as well. If you struggle reading greens, Aimpoint Express is the system that will drastically improve the way you putt!
The truth is, green reading is hard! We’ve all been tricked by those subtle breaks every once in a while, and have wished there was a way to overcome this. With Aimpoint Express, no matter who you are, you will be able to correctly read greens. I love the system because it finally allows the average golfer to read greens like the professionals and do it without years and years of experience! And just as importantly I can now teach a green reading system that is based on fact and mathematics not guess work.
Imagine if Lydia Ko or Adam Scott read every putt for you every time you played.
Aimpoint Express takes the guesswork out of green reading, and creates an environment of objectivity
I think the number one reason that golfer’s miss putts is due to a lack of trust in their reads. It is much better to commit to the wrong line and make a confident stroke than hit a timid putt with the right line. The reason I teach Aimpoint Express is because it helps you the golfer feel confident about your read, and commit to it more often. Like anything, human error plays a role in the success/failure of using the system, but it is the closest thing there is to perfection when it comes to green reading.
More effective practice
Practicing effectively is one of the biggest keys to a solid golf game. Above the benefit of having Aimpoint Express on the course, I actually prefer it in practice. When you’re on the putting green, there is nobody stopping you from using the AimPoint digital level. Knowing that you’ve read a putt perfectly on the practice green helps increase the effectiveness of your practice. Rather than aiming at the wrong target and compensating with a faulty stroke to make the putt, your practice sessions will be spent aiming at the correct target. This trains your brain to see the breaks more accurately on the course, and eliminates the amount of compensation that has to go on during the stroke.
Aimpoint Express is a tour proven green reading method
If the best golfers in the world are using this method, it is surely an effective green reading system for those who do choose to practice it and use it. At the recent US Masters Tournament 3 of top ten finishers were AimPoint Express golfers.
Aimpoint Express improves your aim, and your stroke
This is a side effect of using Aimpoint Express that most golfers may not realize. As a result of reading the greens correctly more often, you will naturally aim the putter better, and start the ball on your intended line more frequently. Most golfers don’t aim where they think they’re aiming, and most golfers also don’t read enough break in their putts. If you’re not reading the greens or aiming correctly, the only way to make a putt is to compensate in your stroke. If you use Aimpoint Express, and read the greens correctly, you will no longer need these compensations that cause day to day putting struggles!
AimPoint Express is available at Mount Lawley Golf Club in either private one on one sessions or as part of a group class. These group sessions are conducted regularly with the next one scheduled as part of “Golf Month” on Saturday October 29th. As Western Australia’s only Certified Instructor I look forward to helping you with your Green Reading.
