Jeff demonstrates how to maintain perfect posture throughout swing.

Here is some footage of how the pros practice breaking putts from video I took at Augusta. To set up your aim line, follow these steps.

1. Set up a putt no more than 12-15 feet in length.

2. Stick one end of your aim line in the ground just behind your ball (in the same spot as if you were marking your ball).

3. Stretch the other end of the aim line even with the cup on the line you believe is correct.

4. Stretch the original end of the aim line back behind the ball giving enough room to make a stroke.

5. Roll a putt, then based on the result, adjust the aim line for more or less break.

* Most people under read the break, so it is recommended that you put a "blocker" such as another ball or club just on the high side of the aim line. This will stop you from pulling or pushing the ball to a higher line.
