Quiet Eye training simulator: experience the gaze control that elite putters use.
Two seconds of stillness can define your putt.
Quiet Eye (QE) training simulator
Start training
1. Put cursor (or finger) on the ball
2. 2. Wait until it turns green (~2 seconds)
3. 3. When it's green, click!

What you just did is called Quiet Eye (QE)—a gaze pattern used by elite athletes.
Pro golfers fixate on one spot on the ball for 2–3 seconds on average before starting the backswing. That sends accurate position data to the motor cortex and helps keep the stroke stable under pressure.
Before you start the backswing, fix your gaze on one spot on the ball. Elites hold it for 2000ms or more.
Low-handicap players (0–9) fixate on the ball about twice as long as beginners.
With QE training, success rate holds up in tense situations (green line).
On the green, follow these steps.
This is the key step.
