  While I can take an educated guess as to the meaning of these sub-headings when purchasing and using clubs, I feel it would be beneficial to get a more detailed understanding as to how your ratings effect strokes in this game.

  Ratings typically used include: Precision, Shot-shaping, Balance etc.

  Some are obvious, some require more information.

  For example, when purchasing a putter, am I better off with Precision or Balance? How do these effect my game?

  With the drivers & irons, when it comes to "Precision", if I hit the ding on a "1" rating or a "4", the ball seems to go where I am aiming. What exactly is Precision?

  In summary, curiosity leads me to want more information. Is there a link to a post which details how your ratings affect clubs used in one's game?

  Thanks

  hi

  it's what you wan actually, and this is how I view it from my personal view.

  1. in putters, precision just means that. but balance means the chance it'll keep its line true on ding and is aided by other options.

  as you what is better... i feel like if you have fair amount of longer putts for eagle (like cabo or sta), balance maybe better than precision.

  4. for other clubs precision is how true will the flag work against all other elements. 

  Maybe the way I view it, is a bit different but that's my opinon

  our faq pages have exact info though.
