How to see straight SO YOU CAN AIM STRAIGHT
LINE UP 3 BALLS
NOW SET UP TO PUTT LINING UP THE FIRST BALL TO THE LAST BALL . DONT LOOK AT CENTER BALL
NOW SET UP TO PUTT LINING UP THE FIRST BALL TO THE LAST BALL . DONT LOOK AT CENTER BALL
LINE UP 3 BALL 5 FEET APART IN A STRAIGHT LINE
NOW SET UP TO PUTT LINING UP THE FIRST BALL TO THE LAST BALL . DONT LOOK AT CENTER BALL
NOW SET UP TO PUTT LINING UP THE FIRST BALL TO THE LAST BALL . DONT LOOK AT CENTER BALL
NOW SET UP TO PUTT LINING UP THE FIRST BALL TO THE LAST BALL . DONT LOOK AT CENTER BALL

NOW SEE IF CENTER BALL IS IN A STRAIGHT LINE
NOW SEE IF CENTER BALL IS IN A STRAIGHT LINE
NOW SEE IF CENTER BALL IS IN A STRAIGHT LINE
NOW LOOK AT THE CENTER BALL AND THEIR IS A 99 % CHANCE IT LOOK LEFT IF YOU ARE RIGH HANDED AND RIGHT IF YOU ARE LEFT-HANDED
ADJUST STANCE UNTIL ALL BALLS LINE UP
NOW SEE IF CENTER BALL IS IN A STRAIGHT LINE
NOW SEE IF CENTER BALL IS IN A STRAIGHT LINE
START TO ADJUST YOUR STANCE, TYPICALLY OPEN UNTILL ALL THE BALLS ALIGN. YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MOVE ANYTHING BUT THE FOOT THAT IS CLOSEST TO THE LAST BALL
PARALLAX ERROR , WHY YOU PROBABLY DO NOT SEE STRAIGHT
PARALLAX ERROR
Parallax error in putting occurs when your eye's perception of the ball's alignment with the putter's sweet spot is skewed due to the angle of your eye relative to the ball. This can lead to misaligned putts, where you feel like the ball is on the right line but it actually isn't.
Elaboration:
• What is Parallax?
Parallax is an optical illusion that happens when you look at an object from different angles. In putting, this means your eyes see the ball's centerline differently depending on your eye position.
• Why it Happens:
When you address the ball, your eye angle shifts, and the ball's centerline appears to move slightly closer to you, even though it's not. This can lead to misalignments because your brain is trying to compensate for this perceived shift.
• How it Affects Putting:
This can cause you to hit the ball off-center, leading to inconsistent putts, especially if you're not aware of the error.
• How to Correct It:
◦ Use an Intermediate Target: Pick a point slightly in front of the ball and in line with your intended target, then focus on that point while putting.
◦ Use a Putting Mirror: Some instructors recommend using a putting mirror to train your eye position and reduce the parallax effect.
◦ Focus on the Target: Instead of focusing on the ball, concentrate on the intended path of the putt.
◦ Train Your Eyes: Some golfers find it helpful to practice lining up the ball with a stick or line and then trust the alignment even if it feels off when they look at the ball from their address position.

• Key Takeaway:
Being aware of the parallax effect and consciously working to correct it can significantly improve your putting consistency and accuracy.
