The “Straight Putt” Trick: Read Break Like a Pro (Zen Golf Putting Masterclass)

In Part 2 of my Zen Golf visit in Sheffield, Will (Head of Education at Zen Golf) gives me a putting lesson that completely changes how you read greens, control pace, and stop guessing the break.

Instead of obsessing over mechanics, we learn how to “see gravity” first — by finding the straight putt (12 o’clock) using a simple clock-face method, then reverse-engineering the ball’s entry point from the hole back to the ball. It’s a game-changing way to build intent, commit to the line, and massively improve distance control (without overthinking your stroke).

If you struggle with pace on long putts, misread left-to-right breakers, or feel lost on slippery downhillers, this episode gives you a repeatable strategy you can take straight to the course.
