Putt Like The Pros With This Simple Legal Cheat (Video) - by Pete Styles

Now we all know how important alignment is when we're putting. There is no point making a beautiful nice putting stroke and hitting the ball dead straight in the direction you wanted to hit it in if the direction you wanted to hit it in wasn’t correct. So here is a really cheap and easy way of helping you align your putts and better still it's a legal way of doing it on the golf course as well. What I'm going to suggest is that every golf ball you should have in your bag should have a line on it like this. Now you see a lot of people doing this little lining up when they just use to make his name, what a better way than actually extending that line to able to point it exactly towards the hole?

Now you don’t have to guess when you're drawing this line on, you can actually buy a little device, it’s something as simple as this, couple of dollars from the pro shop. And this is called align me up and you simply drop your ball into it, turn it over and there is the line. You got a marker, something like a sharpie marker, something like this, permanent marker ideally and draw in the line. It’s also got a couple of nice little shapes on here he can draw stars and diamonds and arrows, that's a nice little way of identifying your golf ball. So when you're looking for a ball in the rough when you see two tight-less ones sitting next to each other you got to be able to identify which one was yours. So if you got a diamond or a star and it's pretty obvious that that's going to be your ball. So a great way of identifying your golf ball by using this but also a fantastic way of lining it up and then if you line up behind the ball clearly your ball would be marked at this stage you get the line, you point that exactly where you want the ball to start its roll. It's not necessarily pointing at the hole because I've got a breaking putt I'm going to have to allow for that with my alignment so I might aim it at my target or if it's breaking away from my target then have a nice couple of practice strokes trying to feel the ball rolling end over end down its line and then as I setup and hit that I want to see the ball rolling end over end as it rolls towards the hole and I can actually see the ball as it rotates it's keeping that line nice and solid. If I was to make a stroke that haven’t hit exactly down the line that ball would have wiggled as it set off and it would have rolled and I would have blurred the image a little bit, it wouldn’t have looked like a solid line it would have blurred too much. So using a simple little line it's a legal way feels like you're cheating on the golf course, you line it to where you want the ball to go bang and the ball tracts straight towards the hole with that nice little legal cheat. 2015-04-01
