039: Putter Alignment – At Setup and Throughout the Stroke

How important is aim in putting… really? In this episode, Erik, Jayson, and Tyson dig into the myths and realities of putter alignment, starting with a surprising truth: great putters like Tiger Woods and Loren Roberts don’t always aim perfectly straight (and they don’t need to). The crew explains why many golfers unknowingly build compensations into their strokes to correct poor aim, how grip and eye dominance influence perception, and why learning to see straight is often harder than learning to putt straight. They discuss calibration tools like chalk lines and strings, the debate between learning to aim versus fitting to aim, and why “fixing aim” doesn’t automatically mean more made putts. Hosts: Erik J.
