Golf training
Success at golf is based on consistent repetition of swing or stroke. The Putt Rich platform was designed with the objective of reducing the number of variables in the stroke, and enhancing the understanding of several phenomena, including the eyes.
I. Following the instructions for set up and use, 1 through 8, achieves several things. It positions the ball 2 1/2 - 3 inches left of the center of the body; it positions the center of the body and therefore the center of the swing perpendicular to the putting surface; it positions the eyes vertically above the ball and the line of aim; which allows for a pendulum swing rotating the shoulders, observing the squareness of the putter face, and striking the ball with a slight upward "launch angle". This "launch angle" eliminates pinching of the ball between putter face and the putting surface.
2. The eyes. We see in a plane, a plane being the surface defined by all lines in space which pass through a line between two points. The two points are our eyes, given unimpaired condition. We are granted appreciation of horizontal through normal equilibrium and the sight plane. The eyes are also range finders, and as such, combined with the above allow us to appreciate contours. This is why the camera does not show contour; it has but one eye. When we stand erect and look horizontally, the sight plane is horizontal, and as we rotate our head on the vertical axis, the sight plane remains unaltered. If we now tilt the head as addressing a driver where the neck angle is, say tilted 30 degrees down, and turn our head on that 30 degree axis, the sight plane changes, introducing an aberration. If we respond to that new picture, we will adjust to the right because the aberration makes it appear that we are aimed too far left.
