Welcome to the Suree Golf Lab blog — your resource for physics-grounded, data-driven analysis of golf green reading and putting technique. Whether you are a beginner just learning to identify the fall line or an experienced player looking to deepen your understanding of Stimp ratings and AimPoint methodology, our articles approach each topic with scientific rigor and practical application.
Putting accounts for over 40% of strokes in a round of golf, yet it is the most neglected area of practice. We believe understanding the physics of a rolling ball — gravitational components, rolling friction coefficients, cup-capture velocity windows — gives you a more durable technical foundation than trial-and-error alone. Pair each article with reps in the simulator to validate the theory and translate it to real on-course performance.
