Read Tiger's Putts!
Armed with sophisticated lasers, artificial-intelligence software and a physics engine that would make Einstein blush, AimPoint Technolgies' Mark Sweeney knows how every putt is going to break on the 18th green at Torrey Pines. Now you can, too.
Green-reading has never been a science. It's more like a stew — chuck the recipe, throw in some bits and see what you get. But ever since Mark Sweeney was allowed into the kitchen, that stew has become the most technologically advanced product in golf. His AimPoint technology (the one you've seen tracking putts on Golf Channel telecasts) can draw the perfect line for any putt on any green that has been lasered and analyzed by him and his team of engineers. It itself is a stew — a computer-controlled pot full of 3D models, friction coefficients and physics calculators — and Mark has cooked one up on Torrey Pines' undulating 18th green. Check the data and you'll know — just like Mark does — when Tiger and Co. are gonna miss long before they do.
