Why Polished Putting Uses Quintic Ball Roll

Measurement Without Guesswork

At Polished Putting, putting performance is evaluated — not assumed.

We use Quintic Ball Roll because it allows us to measure the elements that actually govern putting outcomes, and to measure them across repeated strokes, not isolated moments. That distinction is foundational to how we work.

Putting performance does not break down because golfers lack information.
It breaks down because the wrong information is emphasized.

​

What Needs to Be Measured in Putting

Putting outcomes are governed by a small number of impact and delivery variables that occur too quickly and subtly to be evaluated reliably by eye or feel alone.

​

At Polished Putting, we focus measurement on:

• Face rotation through the stroke

• Face angle at address and at impact

• Impact ball speed

• Launch angle

• Skid distance prior to true roll.

These variables determine how the ball starts, how it transitions into roll, and how consistently speed is delivered across repeated putts.

​

A made putt does not confirm these elements were delivered well — just as a missed putt does not indicate failure. Only repeated measurement reveals what is stable, what is variable, and what truly governs performance.

​

Why High-Speed Measurement Matters

​

Putting happens too quickly for meaningful evaluation without high-speed capture.

Quintic Ball Roll provides the temporal resolution required to observe the moment that matters most — impact. This allows us to see how face delivery, speed, and launch conditions behave across multiple strokes, rather than inferring performance from outcome alone.

Without this level of measurement, evaluation is reduced to assumption.

Patterns Over Snapshots

One of the most common errors in putting instruction is reacting to single outcomes.

Quintic Ball Roll allows us to:

• Measure variability, not perfection

• Identify repeating tendencies, not idealized positions

• Understand how performance behaves as task demands change

Our interest is not in the “best” putt.
It is in the most repeatable one.

​

Why Quintic Aligns With Our Process

Quintic Ball Roll supports our methodology because it:

• Emphasizes evaluation before intervention

• Highlights variability instead of masking it

• Discourages constant adjustment

• Reinforces robust, repeatable performance

We do not use Quintic to chase numbers or cosmetic improvements.
We use it to confirm stability.

​

Measurement Is Not the Goal

Technology does not improve putting.
Understanding does.

Quintic Ball Roll is a tool — not a solution. Its value lies in how it is applied, interpreted, and restrained.

At Polished Putting, measurement serves one purpose:

To help golfers understand how their putting performs over time and under pressure.

Only then does development make sense.

​

How Quintic Is Used at Polished Putting

Quintic Ball Roll is integrated into:

• Putting Performance Evaluation

• Precision Putting Analysis

• Ongoing performance monitoring

It is never offered as a standalone session and never used as a sales device.

Measurement always points back to the process.

​

Why We Measure — and Why We Don’t Overreact

Not everything that can be measured should be acted upon.

Quintic allows us to:

• Measure what matters

• Ignore what doesn’t

• Avoid unnecessary intervention

This restraint is what turns data into performance.

​

The Starting Point

Whether you are new to putting measurement or already familiar with Quintic Ball Roll, the starting point remains the same: Evaluation.
