  • How to make a Target Line, Version 2

    The Putter’s Target consists of a Target Line and a Target Surface (see post [Putters Target]]. The Target Line consists of a Line Part and a Support Part. The Support Part of version 1 is simply two wooden blocks (see attached file 1). Version 2 is assembled from light weight PVC parts. This is shown in attached file 2 along with a parts list.
    The Line Part is the same in both versions. It has 3 bands of colored tape wrapped around it (black, red, and green). Each band is 4 in. wide using 1-1/2 in plastic tape made by 3M Corp. This is how to wrap the colored tape: For each color band, two strips of tape are wrapped along the edges of the 4 in. band. A third strip is wrapped along the center of the band which then will overlap the other two strips by 1/4 in.

      Arnold Palmer in his 1986 book Arnold Palmer’s Complete Book of Putting said about the figure of attached file (see post [How to use a Putter’s Target] for more of the caption):
      “This is a dilemma of metaphysics which every golfer must resolve for himself. Do you (1) visualize the curving path of the putt to the hole and strive to direct your ball along that path? Or do you (2) judge how the putt will break and then use that information to site a target point, or phantom hole, so as to give yourself the simpler (?) task of hitting a straight putt?..”
      Most players are not target point putters, such as myself, but are ball track putters. I’m sure that most of them wouldn’t be much interested in target point subjects either. That’s their chose to make.

      Cheers
