Today I dropped two stokes; that’s what the man said. A computer assessed my putting in five key areas and then compared my “score” on these points to best practices (as defined by the “pros”). The five key areas are:
- Club face alignment
- Putter path (top view)
- Putter Path (side view)
- Clubhead rotation
- Movement dynamics (i.e., tempo)
The technology used is developed by the SAM Puttlab. After taking the test putts a report is generated. Each of the five areas is reported in some detail, provides graphics showing my own averaged results, consistency of my swing and how I compare to the best practices. The reported results are interesting and I will consider the weaknesses they suggest in my future putting practices.
Linda took the same test. Now here’s the rub: her results were better than mine yet my putting is better.
