I am reading the Dave Pelz's Putting Bible. What a great book. My point is it was initially published 11 years ago (2000) when Pelz wrote about it in Chapter 4. Kudos to Eddie Kilthau for giving Pelz the recognition because Mark Sweeny of AimPoint Technology never mentioned Pelz in the same sentence when it comes to AimPoint. Instead, He talks about how he invented AimPoint with Physics and software. Imagine that? Granted, the stuff works but give credit where it's due. Thanks Eddie Kilthau!
Every person out there should use the aim line on their ball and their putter. Nobody can rely on feel any longer...or these ridiculous putters that have no lines on them. NOBODY can line up perpendicular lines with any consistency.
Then the putt breaks 14 inches...not 4 inches. You ALWAYS aim a putt where you want it to start. The better plan is for amateurs to become more familiar with what 4 inches is. At 30 feet, most amateurs line up 2 feet left or right for 4 inches. When you put the size of the cup to them as roughly 4 inches, their perspective changes. At 10 feet, a person putting has 1 degree of variance left or right and they can still make the putt. How much is that? About 7/8 of a millimeter open or closed.

or actually figure out the actual aimpoint, as opposed to multiplyng the apex of the actual putt by 3!
