The most important skill in putting is green reading – properly assessing and anticipating how the golf ball is going to roll and change direction once you set it in motion. Reading greens is part analytical and part creative, and in the long history of the game, no player has done it better than Titleist staff member Brad Faxon. Start following Brad’s process for reading greens and bring your putting game to the next level.
