I hope this has helped you.
It has helped me significantly. I often wondered why I could see the break, play (what I believed was the break) accounting for it falling int the hole and coming up either just short or stop next to the hole. Now I roll it in at the entry point.

That is great news! SO glad this has helped you!
Thanks Cindy for redirecting me. I watched your video & I am that person who thinks they are aimed correctly & understanding the break as I'm a curler. Your analogy with the clock makes for sense to me to understanding aim. Thanks..Marg
Martin, with the index finger for wedge shots is ball position always the same because the release looks sooner

I believe you asked this question under a different tip than you meant to. This question was asked under the non-linear putting tip.
If you have a straight putt you would aim at 6 o’clock. Wouldn’t this have the same effect of aiming at the ball you put a foot to the right and were actually aimed 2 feet. How do you visualize straight putts?
John K.
Nonlinear players always need to look at where they want the ball to go into the hole. If the putt is straight, they would look at 6:00. It may seem confusing, but trust me, if you are a nonlinear putter, once you understand this, it will change everything about your game.
I'm not sure if I'm nonlinear but I don't make a lot of putts. I have a great partner in league who is a very good putter and green reader. If he gives me the line, I'm always around the hole or making the putts. I will try this approach and see if it helps!
Jeff G.
If your partner in your league gives you directions to aim outside the hole, say, one cup or two and you make putts with those directions, stay with what he tells you. If, however, you do not make the putts, try looking at the hole. If the ball breaks right to left and you see the ball going into the cup at 4:00, then look at 4:00. If you read the green correctly and hit the putt with the right speed, you should make the putt. Good luck!
