  Are you saying you timed the hit correctly (dinged the swing-meter) and with a 20 mph left to right wind -- the ball went to the left of the aiming marker??  Even accounting for variation - this seems absurd!

  Nah, just a normal part of life on WGT for some of us.  I get dinged shots landing upwind of the aimer at least once a week & sometimes 3-4 times a day...including an approach to PB # 8 a week or so ago that landed nearly 10 yards upwind in a 20 mph crosswind.

  Then quit dinging shots. Play the odds in your favor and miss into it, just a little. Read about why here.

  Uh Jim......have you been taking reading comprehension lessons from WGT Customer Service?

  If not, are you somehow proposing that, given I already have issues with dinged shots landing inside of the aimer, that missing the ding inside will result in shots that are, in fact, less inside?

  Man, I don't know what you're on, but clearly its working very, very, very well.

  Not sure what this means.

  I said miss into the wind, meaning if it's left to right-miss early; right to left-miss late. Take the time to understand the link as well as how your clubs work and you'll understand how your odds of a better shot happening improve.

  It's obvious you have no clue what I am talking about.

  I know exactly what you're talking about - and, as it relates to what I originally stated, you're completely delusional!

  Think!  If a dinged shot is already missing severely into the wind, then missing the ding into the wind will cause the shot to miss even more into the wind!  Simple basic physics!

  I never asked for help in this regard in the first place.  I was merely pointing out that what the OP stated is hardly unique for many of us.  If you truly feel the need to dispense unsolicited advice, then a basic understanding of what was stated is imperative, otherwise you come out looking like a complete buffoon.

  Again, if you took the time to read and understand about deviation you would realize that dinging a shot brings in a 50-50 chance that a negative deviation will occur. Hitting on one particular side reduces that probability.  But you would have to have read the article about deviation to comprehend this. A buffoon wouldn't bother learning anything.

  Congratulations, you made buffoon status.

  You really are an idiot.  Yes I read the article and it has some merit.  But you continue to gloss over my key point.  Let me remind you again.

  This was your originally stated point, dipstick. My point was to quit dinging the shots. Try it, you might learn something once you extract your head from your keister.

  You can't even state it right. First the shot is upwind of the aimer and then it's inside the aimer. Make your mind up.
