Putts that lip out - What's your view?

[Foxholer]

Dave Peltz has calculated that the optimum distance /weight for a putt to minimise lip outs is 17 inches "past the hole"

I don't believe that's simply to avoid lip-outs, though they are included in the 'misses'.

From my memory - and I think Gareth has/had my old 'Putting Bible' - that's the optimum speed to 'hold the line' and prevent imperfections knocking the ball off line.

Optimum speed to avoid lip-outs completely is a dead weight putt - where the ball simply falls into the hole as it has no momentum .

I did pal (.... Since passed to another former). Fantastic read :thup:

A little heavy going in places, but a definite eye opener.

That's easy, a big hook or slice, guaranteed to miss the fairway

Do putts in Australia lip out anti clockwise?

...and have they considered the impact of the coriolis effect? I guess it depends upon your frames of reference when straight can be curved...

Iirc Pelz's 17" was to take out the Doughnut effect

We are talking about the same thing.

Watch the Scott Langley chip that lips in. Can't really believe it was possible ,as the ball does one-and-half laps of the hole before dropping in! :mmm:

PP had a full 360 degree lip out on Saturday (clockwise) cant help thinking that if we were in northern hemisphere it would have dropped!

If you were in the northern hemisphere, you'd have had to hit it a lot harer to get it near the hole
