AimPoint Express
The AimPoint technique is growing fast and is used by top professionals in the game. The AimPoint method is a great way for reading break on the greens and it's an effective way to aim, control and hole more putts. Currently only two players have broken the barrier of 100 putts for four rounds of a tournament. AimPoint fully expects that number to grow over the next couple of seasons. Adam Scott leads a growing army of AimPoint graduates, and going by his recent success, the method is definitely something to consider. After attending an AimPoint express course I would definitely recommend any golfer who struggles reading greens to attend. The course is £99 and will be carried out by Oli Leett a Level Two Certified AimPoint Express Instructor. Click here to see our promotional poster for more details.
