Cure The Science of Putting — Modern Putting Analysis for Golfers

The Science of Putting is a concise yet thorough guide that distills modern putting theory into practical steps for players and instructors. It invites you to explore the personal pendulum putting tempo, the way ball roll responds to speed and tilt, how backstroke length interacts with rhythm, and how a biomechanical putting posture supports a repeatable stroke. The analysis also covers the physics of moment of inertia in putting, offering a fresh lens without overwhelming jargon for the reader. The result is a clear, fast read designed to illuminate what to observe on the green and how to test ideas in practice.

What you will learn includes how a steady tempo can feel like a natural rhythm in your hands, how subtle changes in backstroke length can alter timing under pressure, and how posture can influence balance and feel during a stroke. Weight Optimization Fitting is presented as a new concept that ties position to dynamic response, offering a framework to tailor practice and coaching cues to the individual player. The discussion of moment of inertia adds context to why some strokes feel stable while others drift, helping readers connect theory to on course experience.

Useful tools for teachers and players

• Clear vocabulary and practical diagrams that translate theory into on course drills
• Observation checklists and accessible methods to measure tempo and posture during a lesson

The book emphasizes a practical, plain English style and aims to be a quick reference during practice or a coaching session. It offers tools and methods that can fit into a busy schedule and adapt to a range of skill levels, from new players to experienced instructors.

Real world use cases

• In a coaching session, use a simple tempo cue to guide a student toward a smoother stroke
• In practice, compare backstroke length and ball roll to refine rhythm on the green

Readers will encounter ideas that challenge long held beliefs while remaining grounded in observable physics and practical applications. The writing remains precise yet approachable, inviting you to test ideas with your own putter and greens. The Science of Putting serves as a forward looking reference for the next generation of putting analysis and teaching methods.
