The Golfer's Journal | Brad Faxon: How Does Grain Affect Putts?

7 min
Added on August 08, 2025
Eight-time PGA Tour winner Brad Faxon is the game’s most trusted voice on putting. In this Golfer's Journal segment presented by ‪@titleist‬, Faxon shares a focused lesson on reading grain—how to identify it, when it matters, and why it should influence your reads without dominating them. From cup edges to surface shine, he offers a practical approach to understanding grain’s subtle but significant impact on break and speed, helping you make more putts.
