Real Results: Case Studies of Golfers Who Improved with AimPoint Putting

It’s one thing to understand the science and theory behind AimPoint Putting, but it’s another to see its tangible impact on real golfers’ scores. As Oakville’s PGA Certified Golf Instructor and AimPoint Putting Coach, Sean Carlino, has witnessed firsthand the transformative power of AimPoint. Here, he shares a few anonymized case studies of students who’ve dramatically improved their putting.

“One of my most satisfying success stories is Mark, a keen amateur in his late 50s,” recounts Coach Carlino. “Mark was a consistent ball-striker but dreaded getting on the greens. He averaged 36-38 putts per round and confessed to at least 3-4 three-putts. He was purely relying on ‘gut feel,’ which often led to wildly missed reads.”

Carlino started Mark with AimPoint Express. “Within just three sessions, Mark’s confidence skyrocketed,” he says. “He loved the systematic approach. We focused heavily on calibrating his foot feel and trusting the finger read. The immediate result? His three-putts virtually disappeared. He went from 3-4 to rarely more than one per round.” By the end of the season, Mark’s average putts dropped to 32-33, and his handicap came down by three strokes. “He attributes it almost entirely to AimPoint,” Carlino beams.

Then there’s Sarah, a competitive junior golfer who had a solid swing but struggled with consistency on the greens under pressure. “Sarah was visually over-reading or under-reading breaks, especially on faster greens,” Carlino explains. “She’d hit a great drive, then three-putt, leading to immense frustration.”

Carlino introduced Sarah to AimPoint Conventional, allowing for more detailed reads. “The precision resonated with her competitive nature,” he notes. “We spent time on the practice greens at our Oakville courses, meticulously charting slopes and verifying her reads. The key breakthrough was when she started trusting the more subtle reads she previously would have dismissed.” Sarah’s putting statistics dramatically improved, particularly her conversion rate from 10-20 feet, leading to more birdies and a significant boost in her tournament finishes.

“And it’s not just about reducing big numbers,” Carlino adds. “David, a single-digit handicapper, came to me looking to get to scratch. He was already a good putter but wanted that extra edge. AimPoint helped him minimize those frustrating lip-outs and near misses from 5-10 feet by ensuring he was on the perfect line every time. Those small improvements added up to him consistently shooting lower scores and finally breaking into scratch.”

“These stories aren’t unique,” Carlino states. “They are typical of what happens when golfers embrace the scientific, reliable method that AimPoint provides. The results are real, measurable, and incredibly satisfying for golfers of all levels here in Oakville.”
