AimPoint is a putting methodology developed by Mark Sweeney that uses your feet to physically sense the percentage slope of the green and a standardized chart to determine the exact amount of break. Instead of visual reads alone, AimPoint gives golfers a systematic, physical method of reading putts. It's used by dozens of tour professionals. The system assigns finger units (1-5) to the break amount, with each finger representing roughly 6 inches of horizontal putt break.
