Eye Dominance

How ocular dominance affects perception of the target line.

The Hard Data

Most amateurs misinterpret eye dominance. According to 2023 ShotLink data, errors in this area compound exponentially past 10 feet. If your deviation is greater than 1.5 degrees, you miss.

  • Factor 1: 42% variance in amateur strokes.
  • Factor 2: 0.8 degree margin of error at 15ft.

Common Misconceptions

Myth 1

Players assume more effort equals better results. False. Data shows deceleration at impact is the primary flaw.

Myth 2

Copying tour pros works. False. Unless your biometric setup matches theirs, the kinematic sequence breaks down.

Myth 3

Equipment solves everything. False. A fitted putter only optimizes a repeatable stroke.

FAQ

How long does it take to fix?

Motor pattern changes require ~10,000 reps. Expect a 6-week minimum adaptation phase.

Do I need a launch monitor?

While helpful, high-speed camera footage (240fps) on a modern smartphone provides enough baseline data.
