The main problem that is attributed to missing putts, no matter what type of slope you are on, is based on the ability to read the green as a technique. The two main ideals that are a part of this are the technique that you are using for your hitting score as well as your ability to align your ball into the right area. The geometry that you will need to use for this will make a difference in how you are able to improve your putts.

In order to change your putting score, you will want to change the way you align and read the ball you are putting. Setting the alignment behind the line where you are going to put your ball, instead of reading it directly from the ball to the hole will help you to get a better shot. To do this correctly, you need to find an area where the apex of the putt is, also known as the maximum break. When you are aligning, you will need to look behind the ball and to the hole for the right setup. You will then want to walk between the apex and the ball to make sure the alignment is straight. When you get ready to putt, you want to aim for the apex, not the hole.

Focusing on the alignment with your putt and making sure you set up the lines correctly ensures that you are able to get the right movement into the hole. Refocusing your lines from behind the ball and aiming toward the maximum break, instead of the hole, can help you to get the most consistency with your shots and can help you to beat your score while improving your overall shots.
