Green Reading With Your Feet Overview
Using your body to feel the slope is a method of green-reading that is gaining more popularity thanks to systems like Aimpoint.
The steps to reading a green with your feet are relatively simple. You need to feel the slope in between your ball and the hole. This is done by reading the middle third or so for longer putts and the middle point for shorter putts. If you get different numbers at different spots then error on the high side by choosing the highest number. Then aim at a spot on the high side of the hole based on that slope number. This is either done by using your fingers or by using math to calculate the distance the ball will break. Step three is to aim your ball at the spot and then focus on the speed you want to hit the ball when actually executing the stroke.
