But now we're getting into the green reading, which is an important factor, because in the

green reading, again, we're talking about three major areas.

What's the speed of my put and what's the slope of my put am I efficiently aiming am I efficiently making a ball to roll

end over end two feet straight two feet and straights and my efficiently aiming now how do I read the green

so how do I read the green is as I decide what the speed of this green is slow medium or fast, or fast, or super fast, we assume that all greens are two degrees of slope, which, quite frankly, is probably true, on an average. Two degrees, around the hole? Because I know when you have multi-level greens. Right. I'm looking at the hole. I'm standing around the cup, because keep in mind, the last five feet in my putt are the most important aspects. As the ball slows down,

that's when gravity has its bigger effect. So when I got a 30-foot put, the first 15 or 20 feet of that

are important, but not as a massively important to the slope. The most important area is that

sloping area around the hole.

Breaking down the details of vector putting, part two with John Grun.

Welcome back to Golf Smarter for members only, John.

Yeah, I'm glad that you're still here.

All right, I want to pick it right back up where we were. We were on stag. Right. And to redefine stag, it's kind of your method of teaching? Yeah, yeah. It's a methodology that I think that are four principal areas that good putters are always involved in. Okay, us being speed. Speed. T is... Two feet and straight. Two feet and straight. aim for A and G a and g is green reading that's correct all right so let's talk about do we do we fully finish one one thing i need to add about

the speed speed is important in that uh based on the the new technologies of green reading which

vector and and aim point involved which is you know, how a ball travels over distance

in time and friction and slope and all those things that are involved, which are derived

from mathematical equations to help you read puts. Okay? Now, it sounds very complicated,
