all right now let's work on our green
reading here we go okay so this method
is called the plum Bop
or the plum technique it's tried and
true this is method has been around for
years and years and years and it's
something I've used for a long time and
I find it definitely works especially on
those tough to read pots that you just
can't quite figure out what what it's
going to do so here's here's how it
works you can get your putter hold it
loosely in your hand and first figure
out what I is dominant your left eye or
your right eye I'm right eye dominant so
then I hold the putter in my opposite
hand right eye dominant hold the putter
in my left hand and I'm gonna line up
the putt from the hole the ball and then
by 10 feet back is me right here
straight line all right then I'm gonna
shut my left eye I'm gonna keep my
dominant eye open and I'm gonna line up
the flag or the hole right there to my
putter right through the ball and I want
to cover the right half of the golf ball
so I'm gonna cover the ball with my with
my putter shaft the right side for me so
to kind of go like this alright you want
to cover that side and then the flag if
it breaks left should be to the left or
if it breaks right the flag would be on
the other side or you wouldn't see it it
would just be blocked
and then you can move the putter to
cover the other half the ball so check
it on both sides if you can't see the
flag that means it breaks that direction
and then you move it to the other side
of the golf ball the shaft line and
you're always looking at the inside of
the shaft meaning the hole is on this
side or that side and that's gonna line
up exactly where you want to hit your
putt or you want to start it all right
so let's check this out we have this
putt here from here it's about a 20 25
footer to there it's flat I don't know
which way it breaks totally it looks
straight to me so this would be a good
opportunity to use this technique and
I'm gonna put my ball here alright
there's my ball here's me I'm gonna line
this up that flag my putter and my right
eye and I'm covering the right half of
the golf ball I'm covering the left half
I can't see the flag I cover the right
half I see the flag way to the left of
my putter so I know this breaks I
thought was fairly straight but now this
plum technique is telling me it breaks
at least six eight inches is what it is
what it's showing me so it's showing me
it breaks way out here
that's nearly a foot a break and I read
it fairly fairly straight I might have
played a little right-to-left maybe a
ball but according to my plumb it says
it breaks nearly a foot so I'm gonna
line up my ball right at that T it looks
like way too much break for me but we're
gonna see we're gonna see we put the
plumb to the test do our best to to get
the right speed here and see what
happens first take you see that we're
just totally one in first thing these
guys are my witnesses see witness so I
read it just initially I thought it
broke maybe a couple of inches
I didn't the plumb technique breaks a
foot let's do another one let's just
keep going and that's a lot of break to
me
I had it left it short
look at that perfect we'll do the third
one just see what happens it balls in my
way but whatever oh that would've went
in hit the ball plum technique now it
doesn't work so well if there's a hump
or a giant mound on the green that you
have to go over it's not for that this
is just for flatter startle breaks that
will you're just not sure but yeah
obviously if there's a big mound you
know what's gonna happen or a ridge
that's you wouldn't use this for that
type of putt but you would use this for
something like this where it's a flatter
green a flatter surface and it's got a
subtle break to it and just can't quite
figure it out
try the plum let me know how it works
for you comment below if you like this
is this is old-school method alright
