00:00that drill you were talking about when you put all the golf balls out like this

00:03yeah you would just put little little dots just below it i'm a big believer that when you practice

00:09this enough and you actually have the visual when you get to the golf course it'll look better

00:20so if we now kind of make this a little bit more realistic to the golf course i'm just

00:24going to put a white dot here and take away the laser that's it i'm curious to see how i do now

00:29now we've just got your spot out there you're going to still keep the picture of the perfect speed

00:34but we're just going to make sure that we don't start the ball towards the hole we still start

00:39it towards the spot that we picked so you hit it right over that dot did i yeah go ah just right

00:48over it i kind of lost picture of it at the end but i felt like i was really square to it in the

00:54beginning yeah so it's almost like the beginning part is where i really need to be like right when

00:59i set up i kind of get that that spot and then i kind of get more in that picture mode absolutely

01:08right over the left edge of it you have to sit a little firm so if i want to take a little more

01:12aggressive line you would be you know i'm going to be on the more on the right edge of it splitting

01:18the right edge of it yeah yep

01:25yeah that was a good pot that was really good really really good

01:32i think that was a little maybe you moved that a little too far too far right yeah you're like

01:37you went from starting it at zero degrees on see here tells you relative to the actual perfect line

01:44you were at zero zero and now you're starting at like two degrees right of perfect well you we have

01:49found my area of of struggle

01:58cash i think it's really important as well you know you can see now why you know you were a hundred percent

02:05make on straight putts why does the tour go down to about 35 percent at 13 feet when you add in some

02:13break yeah and it's one of those things i always talk to my players about strokes gained this metric

02:19it's awesome to evaluate your putting over the course of a season but over the course of a day

02:25it's almost worthless information because if i hit it to 13 feet every day if 18 holes in a row

02:32well if i'm putting across a four percent slope yeah i'm not going to make very many

02:37but i'm going to lose a lot of strokes yeah whereas if i hit it to 13 feet and i'm below the pin

02:43putting straight uphill all day i'm gonna shoot 59.
