Hey guys.

Hoping folks had some tips for left to right breaking putts for a right handed putter.  

So anyway, I figured out how to properly aim my putter so I know I'm aiming it correctly, but this Saturday I was holing out straight and right to left breaking putts, but on the left to right breakers even when I aimed way left when I putted them the ball started way to the right.  That said, I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on this problem.  Like do you just aim way more left than your read to account for the side hill push, or do you change the putt setup somehow to account for it?

Why would you try to aim for a “push” that’s almost surely variable?

Learn to hit your start lines on all putts. That’s what I’d do.

It's hard to find a practice green that has (aimpoint term here) around three fingers or more of break to practice on.  It's weird that I can start a straight and right to left putt on line, but on a bigger left to right breaker I always push it...

My point remains: don’t try to compensate for your variable push compensation. Fix the original compensation.

Fix the “push.”

      That is a bit hyperbolic, I think. Most despicable is a bit much.  Again, a bit over the top here.  Most athletes are probably closer to being normal human beings than degenerates and avaricious scum.  Just sounds like you want to generalize all athletes because it is easy to do so. Hey, generalizing a subset of a population is entirely a human thing to do.

      This is so awesome; my two biggest lifetime hero and the biggest superstars of the past 35 years in golf……both turned out to be the two of the most despicable human beings in professional sports… Between this and everyone whoring themselves out for Saudi Arabia… Used to love golf because I thought they were smarter, better people than the other sports. Turns out a huge percentage of them are total degenerates and avaricious scum like every other sport!

      This isn't going to show you lateral dispersion at all. It's basically just a radar (for speed) launch monitor. It doesn't measure spin or anything like that. Not even launch direction.
