Good video, but the stuff going on in the background is so distracting

[gregrutz]

What about Mr. 'take away the break' ?

[kilaueasteve]

@gregrutz

Take away the break means dead accuracy since it means you choose to narrow the hole by putting too many revolutions per sec

Geoff, There must be different optimal speed of ball/ distance past the hole dependant on the speed stimp meter reading on the green. Am I right I thinking on super fast greens that the optimal distance past the hole would be much lower than 17" and around 5"?

Common sense??

Geoff this video is incredible. My putting has been terrible of late but this video has instilled me with confidence again.

[DavidBigB]

thanks for the tips

[kyaragm]

thank you for your video, it really helped me std i have a test tomorrow

Thanks for debunking the 17". More golfers should know this, but I think they know it intuitively anyway.

I wish GolfDigest would publish something about this since Pelz is not a contributor like he is for Golf magazine.

This is really interesting. All I've heard is from Pelz 17" past the cup is ideal due to the footprints around the cut.

But I agree with Geoff that it's more positive to think about where in the cup do I want to ball to hit, bottom? back bottom?

Pelz' 1977 data DISPROVES his later claims about 17" past the hole: Golf Digest July 1977, pages 52-55. His later "claims" about 17" never mentions this 1977 article or share his data proving it, because he has none.

Pelz's science only proved what everyone already knew: the go-by distance does depend on grass type and condition.

Others who have tried to duplicate his research to check it conclude that his claims cannot be accurate.
