• WARNING! Don't aim your putts at the high point If you think the best way to read a putt is to squat down behind the ball, visualize where the apex (high point of the break) of its roll will occur, and then aim at that apex, you're just fooling yourself. I've advised against using this technique -- called "apex putting" -- all of my professional life, but it continues to hang around. Recently, the Golf Channel ran a 30-minute instruction episode with a renowned PGA Tour player extolling the virtues of apex putting. He kept saying, "visualize the high point of the putt's roll on its way to the hole, then aim at that high point. Let it break down into the hole from there."<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rss/si_golf/~4/JWo-v2ZGI7k" height="1" width="1"/>
