"There’s nothing wrong with AimPoint," - Paige Spiranac reflects on the controversial putting technique

On Sunday, controversy emerged after A Lim Kim used the AimPoint putting technique during the final round of the Honda LPGA Thailand. Paige Spiranac took to X to react to the incident.

"Ban Aim Point," she wrote.

In the follow-up post, the 31-year-old golf influencer provided a broader explanation of her views on the controversial technique.

"In all seriousness, there’s nothing wrong with AimPoint," she wrote. "The problem is when it’s not taught correctly which will slow down pace. Also a player who is slow will always be slow with or without it. My issue is when they are so conditioned to use AimPoint that it’s a habit they have to use even on tap ins. Trampling around the golf hole is not it"

The AimPoint technique, which was developed by Mark Sweeney, has been the subject of controversy over the last few weeks. A couple of weeks ago, Lucas Glover called for the technique to be banned, citing that it "took forever" to read the breaks. In response, Collin Morikawa suggested banning long putters, which Glover is known for using.

Currently, several professionals use the AimPoint technique, including Morikawa, Will Zalatoris, Viktor Hovland, Keegan Bradley, Tommy Fleetwood, and Adam Scott.
