Does your eye dominance mean anything for your putting?
There’s some coaches and golfers believe it means a lot.
This video explores the topic from my experience in coaching.
After you’ve watched it you will have some guidance on how practice your putting better and if you should change/experiment
with anything based on your eye dominance.
If you would like some putting coaching from check out my website for details; rossmacleodputting.com/online...

I thought it was all about perception, in that as a right eye dominant player you may be actually aiming to the right of your perceived target

That’s not a trend I’ve seen Simon. Plenty of left and right eye dominant golfers with right or left aim biases. Best thing is to find out your own bias and work on it. We pretty much all have a bias. Better players just tend to manage it better.

This is exactly what I experience. Right eye dominant and I naturally see the target as 2-3 balls to the right of what it actually is, assuming a straight putt. I have learned to aim 1-2 balls left of left edge to put to center cup on a straight putt. I've heard it described as an issue of parallaxis which might be a technical way of describing the effect of eye dominance.

Eye, foot and hand dominance is a very interesting topic. As I understand it foot dominance and hand dominance are more closely related than eye and hand dominance. It is very rare for right handed people to left footed (c.3%) but relatively common for right handed people to be left eyed dominant (just over a 1/3rd). The difficulty comes when you look at left handed people because you can train out left footedness but not eye dominance. So 40% of left handed people are right footed but nearly 60% of left handed people are left eyed dominant. My guess is that if you deducted those people who trained out left footedness either deliberately or because they only saw right footed people playing sport when growing up, there would be a similar %age of left handed people who were right footed as there are right handed people who are left footed. This is relevant for me. I was born left handed but I am old enough and grew up in a very backward part of England, that when I went to nursery the teachers made sure I only used my right hand for drawing etc. I am also totally left footed, playing sport the right foot was for standing on only but I am right eyed dominant. I play golf right handed, it never occurred to me to try it left handed and when I started the only clubs available were right handed ones. This brings me onto putting. About 30 years ago I switched to putting left handed. The difference was immediate, it was just far more natural. I now wonder whether eye dominance may be a factor in why it felt so much easier - although I agree with the video that the difference ought to be fairly small

Interesting stuff indeed Justin. I hadn’t really thought much about foot dominance. I’m personally left handed, left footed and right eye dominant. My eye dominance surprised me as I have been left everything all my life. But I now know there’s at least a reasonable number of the population whose eye and hand dominance don’t match.

Sorry I wouldn’t have an opinion on eye dominance related to the rest of the game. Mainly because I don’t coach those but also I haven’t really heard many people talk about eye dominance related to golf unless it’s for putting.

Im a right handed player, left eye dominant, and feel more comfortable putting left handed…..any thoughts?

I wouldn’t actively encourage that but if it works go with it. You wouldn’t be the first golfer to do it. Good chance you just need some help with your putting though.
