AimPoint Green Reading Technology is a comprehensive system used by many touring professionals, top instructors and college players to read greens in a more efficient manner. Instead of relying on their ability to visually see the break in their putt, AimPoint Technologies gives a more consistent and accurate result, making it easy to determine the exact break for every putt. After going through the AimPoint Green Reading class, you will never again have to guess at how much a putt breaks. You will learn that putting is predictable and discover the most effective and reliable ways to determine the direction and precise amount of break for any putt, all based on gravity. There are three tracks in AimPoint Green Reading Classes, The Express Read, Mid Point Read and Speed Class. The AimPoint Express Read is the perfect balance between simplicity and accuracy. This read can be learned in minutes and will provide golfers reliable reads with little time invested. This read is perfect for any golfer who wants increased accuracy with a non-technical solution.
