EFT Putting Research
I did a putting study with 37 golfers testing the effect of EFT on putting. Data were collected at several sites. Fifteen mini-courses were marked off on the practice green. Each golfer warmed up, then putted one ball at each mini-course. Each putt was rated on a scale of 0 - 10, with 10 being perfect. Each golfer rated his/her own putt; therefore, the ratings were subjective. The golfers were then taught EFT. They were instructed to repeat the putting test on the green using a quick shortcut EFT routine before each putt. The putts rated 8, 9, or 10 were counted and compared against the putts rated 7 or less.
Before using EFT, there were 241 putts rated 8, 9, or 10. After using EFT, there were 329 putts rated 8, 9, or 10, a 37% increase of highly rated putts.
| Number of Putts | Before EFT | After EFT | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rated 8, 9, 10 | 241 | 329 | 88 |
| Rated 7 or less | 305 | 217 | -88 |
