How to never misread a putt

In this quick clip from WhyGolf, an instructor helps a golfer test his visual green read against data from the WhyGolf app. By adjusting the aim from the left edge to 6 inches outside the hole, the golfer successfully makes the break and sinks the putt.

• Most golfers underestimate the amount of break on breaking putts.
• Trust precise break data or green-reading aids over optical illusions.
• Adjusting your aim point further outside the hole allows the ball to feed naturally into the cup.
