Mastering the Art of Rolling

The best putters of elite players in the world have mastered the art of rolling the ball. Learning how to roll the ball is crucial for making putts as it determines how well your ball can track and travel on your intended line.  In this blog, we'll delve into the process of achieving the proper roll of the golf ball.

Fundamentals of rolling the ball:
The proper roll is defined by the forward spin of the ball.

How is forward spin achieved?
Forward spin is achieved by having more rise angle than dynamic loft at impact. In order to have more rise angle than dynamic loft, the putter head needs to travel at an ascending angle early enough, where the putter head is traveling just before and through impact in an upwards fashion.

Importance of forward spin (rolling):
Achieving the forward spin on a putt is crucial for making putts. As previously discussed, having the optimal correspondence of more rise angle than dynamic loft at impact produces a ball with forward spin. What makes forward spin important? With forward spin, the ball starts to roll end over end earlier after impact with the putter head. This means the ball rolls and tracks on the intended line initially and throughout the ball’s journey.

A counter-example is if the putter head had two degrees of rise and two degrees of dynamic launch. This would produce a neutral-spin roll because the degree of dynamic loft to rise angle is equal. With neutral-spin roll, the ball after impact would skid for a prolonged period of time, taking significantly longer for the ball to start rotating end-over-end towards the hole. Consequently, this type of spin promotes more deviance from the intended line as a skidding ball is susceptible to side spin and variance on the green.
