The only way to take advantage of a good putting stroke is to be able to read greens accurately and aim the flatstick correctly.
Then you can get the ball going on the right line.
Start by looking at the entire green before channeling your attention to your putt. Imagine dumping a big bucket of water on the green.
What direction would that water run off? That’s going to tell you a lot about how your putt will move.
Another trick is to identify the nearest straight putt to the one you have. The farther you are from the straight putt, the more your putt is going to break.
As a rule, play a little more break than you think; most putts miss low.
