A study by Potts & Roach entitled, “Putting Alignment in Golf: A Laser Based Evaluation” found that all golfers misalign their putters. On a 6-foot straight putt, novice, 12 – 24 handicappers and 2 – 11 handicappers, misaligned outside the hole 12%, 2% and 2% of the time respectively. One a 12-foot straight putt, the same golfers misaligned 71%, 40% and 43% respectively. On a 12-foot putt, when the golfers used a “foreshortened target” between their ball and the hole to aim at, their misalignment decreased significantly to 59%, 36% and 32% respectively.
