Putting Analysis
A measured evaluation of putting performance, led by ball roll outcomes.
Putting Analysis at Polished Putting begins with how the golf ball behaves immediately after impact.
Launch, speed, skid, and roll consistency determine putting performance, so these outcomes are measured first.
Stroke information is then used to understand why specific ball roll patterns occur.
What This Evaluation Measures:
The Putting Analysis focuses on capturing repeatable ball roll behavior under controlled conditions.
This evaluation is used to:
-
Measure launch, skid, and initial roll characteristics
-
Assess speed consistency and dispersion patterns
-
Identify factors that influence start line and distance control
The ball’s behavior establishes the performance baseline.
How Stroke Information Is Used:
High-speed video of the putting stroke is captured alongside ball roll data to provide context.
Stroke information helps:
-
Explain why certain roll patterns appear
-
Distinguish cause from coincidence
-
Avoid changes that do not meaningfully affect ball roll
The goal is understanding results — not changing motion for appearance.
Measurement Methodology:
Putting Analysis is supported by high-speed ball roll measurement using Quintic Ball Roll, combined with synchronized video capture.
This allows precise evaluation of:
-
Ball launch and skid behavior
-
Initial roll and speed consistency
-
The relationship between stroke delivery and roll outcomes
Measured outcomes guide all recommendations.
How This Fits the Polished Putting Process
Putting Analysis follows the same evidence-based process used throughout Polished Putting:
-
Measure ball roll to establish a baseline
-
Interpret patterns that influence performance
-
Recommend next steps only when supported by data
Not every evaluation results in change.
When change is recommended, it is intentional and specific.
Who This is For:
Putting Analysis is appropriate for:
-
Golfers struggling with distance control or dispersion
-
Players seeking clarity on inconsistent putting results
-
Golfers evaluating whether technique or equipment changes are warranted
All skill levels are welcome.
All clients begin with evaluation.
