Every Putt Is A Straight Putt.

The ability to read the correct line coupled with correct speed of a putt is the key to great putting.This however, is a skill that needs to be developed.To read a green correctly is not just about been able to see any slopes or breaks that are there.Its about been able to visualize the line on which the ball will roll when struck at the right pace.Controlling the speed of the putt is all important.When you stroke the putt the ball will roll along in a straight line initially ,however as the ball gets nearer the hole its slowing down and then it will take any slope or break that is there.I'm sure you have heard the saying "every putt is a straight putt" .This is true,it just depends on how hard you hit it as to whether it takes any break.
Before you even approach the green, gather as much information as possible.Watch any shots played in and see how they react when they hit the green.Take in any contours and slopes you see and if others are putting before you,see can you learn anything regarding pace or line.
A routine i find very good on long putts is that i only look at the last 6 to 8 ft of the putt to determine what i think the ball will do as it slows.This has me focused on what line i need to roll the putt.
Remember: less speed will mean more break.
                     More speed will have less break.
