Use plumb bob to read the break

The instructor describes an old-school plumb-bob method: hold the putter by your index finger and thumb and let it drop down with gravity, then line up the middle of the shaft with the middle of the ball. If the right side is high, the shaft should sit on the right side of the hole.
