Improve Your Alignment and Your Putting with "On Point" Insights from Briston Peterson

11/18/2024
Briston Peterson is the founder of On Point Golf. On Point manufactures the revolutionary 3D domed Golf Ball Marker. The On Point Marker is designed to improve your Spatial Acuity which in turn leads to improvements in green-reading, aim and alignment, and eventually more holed putts. The reason for the success of the marker is that human being are 3D creatures, living in a 3D world, but our eyes can show us only two dimensions. The On Point 3D Marker bridges that gap and allows a golfer to dial-in his/her focus and intensely concentrate, creating the effect of "tunnel vision" which enhances the golfer's confidence on the greens. Briston joins #OntheMark to introduce the marker, illustrate how it works, and dive into the mechanics of how it helps a golfer to improve his/her stereoscopic vision for better alignment and the commensurate marginal gains that promotes. He also shares a putting tip from On Point Ambassador, US Open champion Jim Furyk. Other putting improvement concepts include: This podcast is sure to help you improve your confidence on the greens in order to lower your scores.
