Tour Pro’s Putting TRANSFORMED by Europe’s Top AimPoint Coach
Top AimPoint coach Jamie Donaldson helps a DP World Tour pro refine his green reading and visualization techniques. The lesson covers the 2/3 drop point method, precise slope measurement in the middle third of putts, and a data-driven performance test to quantify slope feel accuracy.
Always measure the slope in the middle third of the putt where the ball is most affected by gravity.
Step into the slope with your 'high foot' first to prevent your body's natural balance adjustments from masking the true feel of the break.
Use a 'drop point' located at 2/3 of the distance to the hole to help visualize the actual curve of the ball path.
Calibrate your arm extension/bend to the green's stimp speed to ensure your AimPoint finger-widths match the break.
Practice with pressure by using the 18-in-a-row drill for short putts to build mental resilience.
