#690 The Science of Distance Control: Why Physics Determines Putting Success
Distance control is the foundation of elite putting. A perfect read with the wrong speed will rarely go in, while an imperfect read with excellent pace can still finish close—or even find the hole. Speed controls scoring, and speed determines how much a putt will break.
Putting is not governed by “feel” alone. The golf ball responds to four measurable factors: energy, friction, gravity, and time.
At impact, kinetic energy transfers from the putter to the ball. From that point, friction continuously removes energy. Fast greens create less resistance, so the ball retains energy longer; slow…
